These filters are cheaper and disposable. These filters capture relatively larger particles but may not be best suited for fine particulates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pleated filters<\/strong>: This type of filter is quite common in home air filtration systems and in commercial systems too. It consists of a cylindrical or flat filter made of polyester, cotton, or similar materials. The material is pleated to increase the surface area of the filter so it can trap more particles. It is quite resistant to airflow and filters out dust quite effectively.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters<\/strong>: HEPA filters are made of multiple layers of very fine fiberglass threads woven into nets. These filters can capture particles of various sizes as the layers of netting have different mesh sizes.
