Recommendations Before Choosing the Right Paint Booth
- Leave enough room around the booth itself to add heat in the future and make sure you go over the intended plan with your paint booth salesman or distributor. Use their knowledge to your benefit and ask them their opinion on what you may want to do in the future.
- Make sure the electric load needed for an air makeup unit is available in your building. Make sure you know WHERE the power will need to be run from and the associative cost from an electrician.
- Make sure the fuel (natural gas, propane, or oil) is available and can be brought to the heater and make sure you are aware of the associated costs.
- Check with town authorities ahead of time and make sure that the addition and position of a heater is
allowed even if you are not purchasing it with the paint booth today.
