Why sell through distribution?
Our distribution network allows us to provide local representation throughout North America, Canada, and Mexico. Our dealers are chosen to offer expertise and services on a local basis.

What codes will my booth be required to meet?
Most municipalities/cities require that paint booths, including installations, meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Chapter 33, OSHA 1910, NEC, and more recently IFC. These are national and international code guidelines; however, local authority prevails in most cases and will have the final say on code requirements. Click here for NFPA Codes

What is included with my Col-Met Spray Booth?
The package will include all components needed to mechanically assemble the booth. The exhaust duct can be purchased separately as well as the control panel. The light tubes and the electrical wiring are not provided by Col-Met.

Can I install the booth myself?
Yes, depending on the style and complexity of the booth.

Why must I give you voltage when I order a control panel or an air make-up unit?
It is important to know the correct voltage because the motor protectors in the CP and the AMU unit must be sized according to the voltage.
