Materials science foundation
Informed by Metalmark's work with nature-inspired structures and advanced materials.
Everglades™
Advanced filtration to target wildfire smoke
Everglades™ reflects Metalmark's bioinspired material science heritage while supporting the broader goal: helping organizations prioritize, act, and verify improvement.
Up to 5x
Test reports confirm wildfire smoke removal up to 5x better than typical MERV 13 HVAC filters.
Role in the Metalmark platform
Filtration matters. Decisions matter more
Everglades™ should not be evaluated as a catalog item alone. Metalmark helps teams understand where advanced filtration fits, which spaces require attention, and how results will be verified.
Assess
Start with measured risk
Identify where filtration can support the broader indoor environmental strategy.
Fit
Use as a drop-in layer
Plan around existing filter dimensions and operating requirements.
Verify
Document the result
Pair filtration changes with a verification path that shows what improved.
Where it fits
A filtration component for measured smoke-readiness strategies
02
Enhanced smoke protection
Designed to improve wildfire smoke removal while maintaining a standard filter format.
03
System component
Supports targeted strategies within a broader environmental intelligence platform.
04
Verification context
Intended to be paired with measurement, interpretation, and documented improvement.
Size

Test note
Pine needle smoke
Used as a comparable analyte for wildfire smoke.
Outperforms other MERV 13 filters on the market for smoke removal efficiency.
Evidence context
Build a filtration strategy around measured risk
Everglades™ belongs inside a readiness and verification workflow. Metalmark can help determine where enhanced filtration is the right action, how it should be implemented, and whether the expected improvement occurred.
Start a conversation
Understand where filter upgrade belongs in your indoor environmental strategy
Start with an operating question, a representative site, or a smoke-readiness priority. Metalmark can help define the right first step.
Smoke readiness
For organizations planning for wildfire smoke exposure and site-specific vulnerability.
Filtration fit
For teams evaluating replacement strategies across spaces or locations.
