Spray-Tech/Junair Paint Booth Installation
Spray-Tech/Junair paint booth installation starts with the booth style, the work moving through it, and the building systems that must support clean, repeatable finishing. Double D Mechanical handles booth setting, air and exhaust connections, utility coordination, and the mechanical details that affect airflow, service access, and daily production.

Booth Layout Around Real Work
A downdraft, crossdraft, or refinish booth has to fit the parts, carts, lifts, doors, and operator movement around it. Layout planning should account for workpiece length, masking space, cure or flash areas, filter access, and the path finished parts take after coating. Small clearance problems can become daily slowdowns once production starts.
Airflow, Exhaust, and Make-Up Air
Paint booth performance depends on balanced intake and exhaust. Installation work may include exhaust fan placement, duct routing, roof or wall penetrations, intake plenums, and make-up air coordination. The goal is a booth that pulls overspray away from the operator while avoiding drafts that disturb the spray pattern.
Utilities and Trade Sequencing
Booth installation often intersects with electrical, gas, compressed air, sprinkler, controls, concrete, roofing, and building automation work. Double D Mechanical coordinates the mechanical scope so equipment setting, ductwork, air lines, and utility tie-ins are ready when adjacent trades need access.
- Confirm booth footprint, door swing, and part travel before setting anchors.
- Identify roof structure, wall openings, and crane or forklift access early.
- Have equipment drawings, utility requirements, and control panel locations available before the site visit.
Start-Up Readiness
Before production use, the installation should be checked for filter fit, fan rotation, damper position, door sealing, light access, and maintenance clearances. Operators and maintenance staff benefit when filters, belts, motors, sensors, and panels can be reached without moving production equipment.
Frequently asked questions
What should be ready before a Spray-Tech/Junair booth site visit?
Have the booth drawings, planned location, ceiling height, roof access information, utility locations, and the largest workpiece dimensions ready. Photos of the proposed path into the building also help.
Can an existing booth location be reused?
Sometimes, but the exhaust route, intake air, slab condition, utility capacity, and maintenance access still need to be checked against the booth being installed.
What building systems usually affect installation?
Electrical service, compressed air, gas or heat source, fire suppression, roof framing, exhaust discharge location, and make-up air all commonly affect the installation plan.
Why does make-up air matter for a paint booth?
The booth removes a large volume of air. Replacement air helps maintain stable booth pressure, spray quality, and operator comfort while reducing unwanted drafts from nearby doors or process areas.
How can production downtime be reduced during installation?
Downtime is reduced by confirming drawings, staging space, access paths, roof work, utility shutdowns, and trade sequencing before equipment arrives.
