Features
ETL Listed
All spray booths are fully ETL-listed at no extra charge to ease the permitting process.
Filtration
Intake filtration consists of polyester filters tackified to ensure fine dust particles are captured and only clean air enters the booth. Exhaust filtration consists of fiberglass media for high-efficiency paint removal as air exits the booth.
Fans
Air is exhausted out by a belt-driven tubeaxial fan, designed with an aluminum bladed propeller for low noise levels.
Lighting
Booths come standard with LED tube lights, featuring an output of up to 10,000 lumens each. Fixtures are all inside-access and Class 1 Division 2 rated.
Construction
Booths are constructed from 18-ga galvanized steel. Panels come pre-punched for easy nut-and-bolt assembly. Full installation instructions and 3D modeling in SolidWorks.
Airflow Options
Cross Flow (Front Air Flow)
Air enters through filters at the front of the booth and flows horizontally over the product, exiting at the rear. A cost-effective option that requires no concrete pit.
Reverse Flow
Air enters from the rear of the booth and is exhausted near the entry doors. This layout helps keep the front of the booth clean and often incorporates heated air intake.
Modified (Semi) Down Draft
Air enters from the ceiling near the front and flows diagonally toward the rear exhaust. Offers better airflow than crossflow without the need for a pit.
Side Downdraft
Air flows from the ceiling down and exits through low sidewall exhaust plenums. Delivers a downdraft effect without requiring floor grating.
Full Down Draft
Air enters from the ceiling and flows straight down over the product, exiting through the floor. This provides the cleanest finish with minimal overspray contamination.
Equipment Options
Sizing
Standard sizes are available, which can reduce lead times and cost. Custom sizes are also available to fit the exact requirements of your shop.
Pressurized Booth
Intake fans or heated air makeup units supply filtered intake air into the booth, creating positive pressure. This helps keep contaminants out and ensures clean airflow for high-quality finishes.
Powder Coated Finish
Our booths can be powder coated for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that’s easy to clean and built to last in demanding environments.
Seismic & Structural Engineering
Optional seismic and structural engineering is available to address local building codes and site-specific requirements.
Door Options
Choose from tri-fold, bi-fold, or drive-through doors to fit your space, workflow, and access needs.
Filtration Options
Add multi-stage intake and exhaust filtration for cleaner airflow and better finish quality. Drop-down filters are also available for easier maintenance.
Insulation
Insulation enhances thermal efficiency and climate control in booths—helping maintain consistent temperatures and protect against temperature swings.
Dual Skin Panels
Dual skin panels can be added for enhanced insulation, noise reduction, and a cleaner interior appearance—ideal for maintaining consistent temperatures and a professional workspace.
