Connect booth and prep workflow
Collision repair shops need a clean path from repair to prep, masking, paint and delivery. Booth and prep station placement should support vehicle access, parts carts, painter movement and safe separation from sanding or grinding dust.
Airflow that protects refinish quality
Downdraft and semi-downdraft booths depend on controlled intake, exhaust and building pressure. Make-up air equipment, roof penetrations, duct routing and nearby overhead doors should be reviewed before the booth is set.
- Plan duct runs with roof framing and service access in mind.
- Keep intake air away from dusty prep activity where practical.
- Allow room to reach filters, fans, burners, lights and controls.
Utility details during installation
Electrical service, lighting, controls, compressed air, gas piping and fire protection coordination should be lined up before panel assembly. Sequencing these trades helps reduce conflicts between booth walls, ductwork and overhead utilities.
Information for troubleshooting
For service work, note whether the issue involves airflow, heat, lighting, controls, fan noise or filter loading. Photos, nameplate data and any recent changes to filters, ductwork or shop layout help guide the field review.
Frequently asked questions
What should be ready before installing a collision repair booth?
Have vehicle size information, booth footprint, ceiling height, roof access, utility locations, prep area layout and maintenance clearance needs ready.
How does a prep station affect booth planning?
A prep station can improve workflow, but dust and traffic must be managed so booth intake air and freshly painted vehicles stay clean.
What access is important around a Garmat USA booth?
Access should remain for filter replacement, fan service, burner work, light service, controls and duct inspection points.
Why review make-up air before installation?
A booth exhausts air from the building. Replacement air affects draft, temperature control, door behavior and overall shop pressure.
