In this series, we\u2019ll look at some of the\nmost common types of paint spray booths and their functions and benefits. This\nmonth\u2019s spotlight is on <\/em>benchtop\npaint booths<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a benchtop paint booth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also known as tabletop paint booths, benchtop\npaint booths are different from larger booths. This type of smaller booth\nfeatures a built-in \u201cbench\u201d that allows the user to paint or finish small\npieces that need to be worked on at counter-height, about 4 feet off the ground.\nThe front of the booth is open, and it features an integrated exhaust system in\nthe back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Externally, most benchtop paint booths are\nabout 7 feet tall. They can vary in width between 2 feet and 8 feet wide. You\ncan also find smaller models that don\u2019t have a built-in bench because they are\ndesigned to sit on an existing counter or table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does a benchtop paint booth work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A benchtop paint booth has a built-in\nbench inside the structure, which has three enclosed sides and a roof. The booth\ndraws fresh air through the open front and exhausts it through a filter system\nin the back wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our tabletop paint booths<\/a>\nare made of 18-gauge galvanized steel and include all sealants, hardware, and\nfasteners. We also include all the necessary exhaust components: grids,\nfilters, fans, and motors. Exhaust\nductwork<\/a>, an ETL-listed<\/a>\ncontrol panel, and lighting are some of the add-ons we offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a benchtop paint booth used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benchtop paint booths create a safe\nand code-compliant environment for finishing small items. The built-in counter\nallows you to place an item where it\u2019s easy to see and interact with. This\nmeans that you don\u2019t have to kneel down in a traditional paint booth to work\nwith a small item sitting on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tabletop paint booth can be used\nto finish a wide variety of pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
