16x24x1 Air Filters
A 16x24 label and 16x25 label share the 16-inch side, but differ by 1 inch on the other side; compare both measurements before ordering.
16x24x1 is a mid-size rectangular filter common in homes with a wall or ceiling return slightly larger than the 16x20. It is close to the 16x25 and 20x24, which makes mistakes easy, so it pays to check the printed size.

Where a 16x24x1 filter fits
This size appears in hall returns, furnace closets and mid-size light commercial systems. If you are replacing a filter that came out as 16x24, do not substitute 16x25. A half-inch gap is enough for air to bypass the media.
Choosing MERV 8 or MERV 13 in 16x24x1
Near-sizes are the main risk here. Order exactly what is printed on the frame. MERV 8 is the everyday pick. If you want MERV 13 for allergies, confirm your system and return can handle it. If your slot is a different size, we can make a custom filter.
- MERV 8 air filters: everyday filtration for dust, pollen and pet dander.
- MERV 13 air filters: finer particle capture for cleaner indoor air.
