Instead of paying $35 for a carbon filter for an air purifier or HVAC, this works as an alternative. The carbon material looks well made and does not shake loose carbon flakes. The size is handy for making several ordinary household filters, e.g. an air purifier, car cabin filter, range hood filter, HVAC filter. The folded section of filter comes in a convenient ziploc bag for storage, and with a couple Velcro strips for attachment. At 1/4" inch thick this seems to fit nicely in a filter frame. If greater thickness is needed, cut two pieces and stack them on one another. For example, behind a HEPA filter in an air purifier, it fits right into the frame when cut to size or even behind the old one so you have two layers of carbon filtration, the old filter is mostly ineffective for odor but still filters some particulates. The new one filters out odors. The cool clean smell this leaves is noticeable. And the durability and ability to cut to size suggests several uses, even a fish aquarium filter. It even looks like it can be rinsed with a hose and re-used, not sure if this will work for odors but it still can filter particulates out. For value, quality and versatility, this is 5 of 5 stars. Review: Works Great - I'm using this for filtering the intake and outputs for my house forced-air heating system and as a filtration with window fans and it really is wonderful. Cutting to size is easy, with household scissors. It does tend to "shed" a bit of the charcoal so be aware. I can cut it to fit the registers for the heating system and I use it in all the vents. It's amazing how much dust and such this traps before it gets into the system! And easy to clean with a vacuum. Same with the window fans. I put a piece on the outer side to filter what's drawn into the house and it does the job wonderfully. And in both, the heating system and the window fans, it doesn't interfere with the air-flow. A good purchase and I will buy more as needed. ## Features - Cut-to-fit charcoal sheet - Made in the USA by all-filters - Removed odors and voc's form the air - Can be cut to fit air purifiers, range hoods and furnace filters ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,129,691 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #14,442 in Air Purifier Filters | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,846 Reviews | ## Images ![AF Cut-to-Fit Activated Carbon Filter Charcoal Air Filter Sheet 16"x48" for Air Purifiers CP-6005 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11UCoP2SsZL.jpg) ![AF Cut-to-Fit Activated Carbon Filter Charcoal Air Filter Sheet 16"x48" for Air Purifiers CP-6005 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/210iakIxLML.jpg) ![AF Cut-to-Fit Activated Carbon Filter Charcoal Air Filter Sheet 16"x48" for Air Purifiers CP-6005 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T9qK9KodL.jpg) ![AF Cut-to-Fit Activated Carbon Filter Charcoal Air Filter Sheet 16"x48" for Air Purifiers CP-6005 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41drMe50yeL.jpg) ![AF Cut-to-Fit Activated Carbon Filter Charcoal Air Filter Sheet 16"x48" for Air Purifiers CP-6005 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C4Eohm5sL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: could anyone tell me the thickness of these carbon pads?** A: I measured 1/8” (0.125”) thickness. **Q: Would this work for a window air-conditioner? Thanks for all the great, albeit contradictory (hehe) answers. Bought it, figuring I can use it for my vacuum cleaner and car's cabin air filter as well. Based on all the answers, I'm thinking it can work with the AC unit as a pre-filter before a regular AC foam filter.** A: This is more of a question than an answer but I think that you wouldn't want to use this as a pre-filter along with regular AC foam filter because that would be too restrictive. I am wondering if this carbon filter by itself would be too restrictive for an AC, blocking the intake of sufficient air. Did you try it, and if so how did it work out? The only carbon window AC filter I've found is made by Nordic Pure (15x24 cut to fit), and it's pricey at about $84 for 6 filters. It's a carbon layer bonded to a white polyester layer. **Q: For a whole-house air conditioner system w/ a 3M a.c. filter, do I just place a cut piece of this over the air intake to increase cleanliness of air?** A: Yes, exactly right. Cut the carbon filter to match your 3M filter & place on top. That's what I did. It serves as a pre-filter & odor control filter. It also makes the primary 3M filter last longer. Hope that helps. **Q: What is the thickness of the Pre-Filter???** A: I am looking for Size 21 Carbon Pre-Filter 4 Pack for my Winix Plasma Wave Air CleanerWould this be equal in quality to the Size 21 Carbon Pre-Filter 4 Pack ?Thank you for your timeDonna ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value and product *by B***R on July 13, 2012* For about $6, this is something every household can use.

We do have a hepa based air purifier in the house. Still, a way was needed to filter the air entering the house. That way you take the load off the rather expensive hepa filter, plus you breathe better air even if it hasn't hit the hepa filter yet. I ended up designing an inexpensive 4-part filter system that attaches to a window and pushes filtered air throughout the house. The system consists of a replacement screening material that filters out dust, pollen, etc. ( PollenTecΒ¨ Clean Air Window Screen (21" x 10`) ), this carbon filter, a furnace filter ( 15x25x4 Exact MERV 15 AC Furnace Filters Qty 2 ), and a standard 20" fan ( Lasko #3720 20" Weather-Shield Performance Box Fan ). The idea here is that the PollenTec screen is the first line of defense, trapping dirt, dust, pollen, etc., before these particles even enter the house and hit the main filter. The carbon filter is attached to the furnace filter such that air flows through the carbon filter first, and then through the furnace filter. The Nordic Pure furnace filter I used is the closest thing I could find to a hepa filter. These furnace filters are rated by the size of the particles they trap, known as the MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value). My research showed that a MERV rating of 13 would be quite effective, but I found a MERV 15 filter on Amazon and that captures even more bad guys (the higher you go in MERV however, the more the fan has to work to pull the air through). Furnace filters don't trap gases though -such as the fumes from a campfire- so that's where the carbon filter comes in. The fan is the final piece of the puzzle, which is set in place so that it draws in outside air through the three filters. To begin, I removed the existing screen from the window the rig would be placed in and installed the PollenTec screening in its place. If you have ever replaced the screen on a window or screen door before you know what this entails. It's not too hard a job, and having one of those little rollers ( New York Wire 90611 2-Wheel Wood Handle Screen Tool ) that push the spline into the groove that holds the screen is a big help. I didn't have have such a tool handy so I used a mini screwdriver. But that's just me. I recommend you get the tool because either tools will fly or tears will flow if you get the new screen 90% installed and then slip with the screwdriver and tear a whole in your brand new screen (I of course have never experienced either reaction, but I hear its possible). Next I attached the carbon filter to the furnace filter. I just cut the carbon filter to the size of the boxed furnace filter and used masking tape to fasten it in place. Worked like a charm. I then placed the 2-piece filter setup against the window opening and taped it in place. You can get really fancy here about how you mount the filter to the opening, but I found that again, masking tape was adequate for my situation (see photo). You want to choose a furnace filter that best fits the opening, and then be prepared to use cardboard, rubber, or whatever to seal any gaps. Now you have to attach the fan to the filter. The particulars of the window chosen of course dictate how much effort is needed to do this. One method would be to tape the 2-piece filter assembly right to the fan, then insert the fan in the window. What you need to achieve is a fairly tight seal between the fan and the filter so that when the fan is on it pulls air exclusively from outside the building. Because of the hi MERV rating the fan MUST make a good seal to the furnace filter in order to suck air through it. The entire job took about three hours and cost well under $200. Compare that to having a professional solution installed. Did it work? Yes! The only modification from here is to hook up an AC rheostat to reduce the fan speed further, and thus the noise. My theory is that as long as you are getting air flow you are producing positive pressure at this point in the house, and thus forcing out old air through other openings. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1878030-af-cut-to-fit-activated-carbon-filter-charcoal-air-filter](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1878030-af-cut-to-fit-activated-carbon-filter-charcoal-air-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
