Hardwall or Softwall Cleanrooms Full-View Plastic Panel
All-Steel BioSafe® Modular Cleanrooms
Hardwall Cleanrooms — Select transparent acrylic*, dissipative PVC, polycarbonate, or polypropylene panels. All-steel support frame for strength and easy installation - requires no external bracing.
*Acrylic is damaged by alcohol and other cleaning agents.
Softwall Cleanrooms — Many panel options, including anti-static vinyl and clear or frosted strip shields. All-steel supports available with casters. Softwall rooms do not hold pressure.
The most effective design for bio-tech and pharmaceutical applications.
304/316 stainless or powder-coated steel construction resists most solvents, disinfectants and other cleaning solutions. Radius corners and smooth interior walls simplify cleaning; optional raised flooring allows disinfectant wash-down. Configure as a positive- or negative-pressure room, with A/C and humidity control.
Double-Wall, Raised-floor Plastic Cleanrooms
Ventilation Cleanroom
Ideal for applications that require raised flooring for true laminar flow. Double-wall structure allows air to circulate through the inter-wall plenum, increasing filtration and A/C efficiency.
Ideal for safe removal of fine powders or chemical vapors. Adjustable ceiling ventilator draws air through HEPA filters and/or exhaust ductwork on ceiling or room perimeter. Inlet filters ensure a clean working environment.
Sterile Compounding Rooms
Negative-Pressure Cleanrooms
In USP 797 applications, positive-pressure ISO 8 anteroom opens to an ISO 7 compounding room. For hazardous drug compounding to USP 800 requirements, air handlers remove HEPA-filtered air to produce a negative-pressure containment area. ISO upgrades meet more rigorous DQSA 503(b) requirements.
Ceiling fan/filter units create laminar flow of particle-free air. Exhaust ductwork along the floor and adjustable air handlers create overall negative pressure to protect external environment from pharmaceutical powders and biohazards.

Fire-rated and explosion-proof cleanrooms must adhere to the standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes codes and standards related to fire safety, electrical safety, and other safety issues. The NFPA has developed a set of cleanroom standards that are designed to ensure that cleanrooms are safe from fire hazards and other safety risks. Some of the key NFPA cleanroom standards include:
NFPA 45: Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals - Provides guidelines for the safe handling and storage of chemicals in laboratory environments, including cleanrooms.
NFPA 70: National Electrical Code - Offers guidelines for the safe installation and maintenance of electrical equipment in cleanrooms.
NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace - Offers guidelines for protecting workers from electrical hazards in cleanroom environments.
NFPA 652: Standard on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust - Provides guidelines for managing the risks associated with combustible dust in cleanroom environments.
NFPA 80: Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives - Provides guidelines for the installation and maintenance of fire doors in cleanrooms to prevent the spread of fire.
Fire-rated cleanrooms are equipped with features and built from materials that help prevent the spread of fire while protecting the occupants and valuable equipment. Here are some common features of fire-rated cleanrooms:
Fire-Resistant Construction: Fire-rated cleanrooms are constructed from fire-resistant materials designed to resist the spread of fire and provide a barrier between the cleanroom and surrounding areas.
Fire Suppression Systems: Fire-rated cleanrooms are equipped with automatic fire suppression systems, such as sprinklers or clean agent systems, designed to quickly detect and extinguish fires.
Fire-Rated Doors: Fire-rated cleanrooms have specially designed, fire-rated doors, equipped with intumescent seals or gaskets that expand when exposed to heat, to provide a barrier against smoke and flames.
Fire-Rated Glazing: All fire-rated cleanroom windows or observation panels must use fire-rated glazing materials to resist the passage of fire and smoke while maintaining visibility into and out of the cleanroom.
Fire and Smoke Detection Systems: Fire and smoke detection systems quickly detect the presence of smoke and initiate appropriate alarm systems.Â
Evacuation Systems: Fire-rated cleanrooms feature well-designed evacuation routes and clear signage to guide occupants to a safe area (in the event of a fire). Emergency lighting and exit signs are installed to provide visibility during the evacuation process.
Terra’s Design for Fire-Rated Spaces: Modular Steel Fire-Retardant and Explosion-Proof Cleanrooms
Terra’s all-steel modular cleanroom features ASTM-rated powder-coated steel or 304-grade stainless steel wall panels and ceiling grid. The heavy-duty, explosion-proof ceiling LED light fixtures are enclosed in an FM 4910-rated lens cover. Stainless steel, explosion-proof HEPA fan filter units include non-sparking components, all-potted conduit and grounded filter screens to meet NEC Class 1 Division 1 requirements. UL-listed fire-rated entry doors feature wired-glass windows, mortise locks and honeycomb insulation. Explosion-proof switches and powder distribution modules are isolated from the rest of the system to prevent flame spread. All electrical components are enclosed in potted conduit to prevent exposure to sparks.
Terra builds and installs over 500 cleanrooms per year, on average. All cleanroom components are pre-engineered, quality control tested, and stocked for quick integration and assembly.

Airlocks safeguard cleanrooms, preventing cross contamination during transfersWatch Terra's Video on Pharmaceutical Air Lock DesignsAirlocks are a crucial part of protecting your cleanroom from contamination while maintaining the required ISO rating. By preserving pressure differentials between adjoining rooms, air locks prevent cross contamination when personnel, materials and samples are transferred between contiguous spaces. The pressure cascade created from the gowning room to the personnel air lock to the ISO-rated cleanroom acts as a safeguard against the accidental influx of particles, dust and microbial contaminants.
