How Long to Install a Paint Booth?

Installing the paint booth itself can be done in a matter of days. However, there is no such thing as just an installation. Every install is a project, meaning there are many phases and moving parts involved. Think of everything from research and point of purchase to planning and installation.

The most time-consuming part of an installation project is the contractor work. For example, installation of a downdraft paint booth requires permits months ahead of time. There also must be time set aside for digging out the pit and setting concrete. Then comes the delivery and set up of the paint booth itself. Once the paint booth is installed, the electric, gas, air piping, ductwork, and fire suppression can be added—which all require their own permits and regulations. Finally, after all the legwork is done, the paint booth will be ready for inspection.

The order of these steps may change depending on a city’s required permits for paint booths. Some of these steps may even be able to happen at the same time, shortening the entire timeline. It’s crucial to work with a trusted and reputable manufacturer, like Accudraft, who can manage the entire installation project, including acting as a general contractor and coordinating permits.
