| Q. |
What is a "manometer"? |
| A. |
This is a draft gauge. It indicates when air exhaust filters have become loaded and need to be replaced. |
|
| Q. |
Explain exhaust/duct work requirements. |
| A. |
You need an exhaust/duct work system to exhaust fumes to the outside of your building. They are optional with the purchase of a Standard paint booth. Standard Tools exhaust/duct work packages provide straight duct, (no elbows) with a length of 20 feet to top. Additional 44" sections are available. Includes specified diameter duct, roof flange, automatic rain shutter and companion flange for fan mounting. |
|
| Q. |
Can Standard paint booths be used outside? |
| A. |
No. All Standard paint booths are manufactured to be assembled and operated in enclosed areas away from the weather. An additional building structure is required for an outside location.. |
|
| Q. |
What is typically not included in Standard paint booths? |
| A. |
We supply the basic items which the majority of suppliers provide. However, there are a few items that we do not supply. These include 48" fluorescent bulbs (because they are prone to breakage during shipping) and electrical wiring kits (starter, switches, conduit, etc). Wiring codes vary widely from state to state and even from country to country; we have found that it is just more cost effective for our customers to have a licensed electrician provide all the necessary components. |
|
| Q. |
Do I need a Fire Suppression System? |
| A. |
This requirement varies by area. We do not supply fire suppression systems but we do have national contacts who can supply, install & maintain these systems. |
|
| Q. |
Will I need someone to install my paint booth? |
| A. |
We encourage you to install your Standard booth yourself if you have the time. Each booth comes with assembly instructions and numbered panels for ease of installation. Depending on how handy you are, you and a couple friends can get your paint booth up in 2 to 3 days. Should you want a professional installer, we can recommend someone in your area. However, this cost usually runs $2,000 to $2,500. If you install your booth, this is a big savings to you. You will need an electrician to wire and hookup your power source. |
|
| Q. |
How will we unload the shipping crate containing the booth? |
| A. |
We typically use a commercial freight carrier to ship Standard paint booths. You will need a fork-lift with a dock or a rollback truck. The entire unit weights approximately 4,000 pounds. |
|
| Q. |
What is the Warranty Period? |
| A. |
The Standard Warranty is for 3 years, which is 2 years longer than most paint booth companies. However, we want you to be pleased with your booth and will work with you to make any reasonable problems right. |
|
| Q. |
Who makes the paint booths? |
| A. |
Standard Tool and Equipment Company. We make hundreds of booths each year which emphasizes our quality and afforability. |
|
| Q. |
What if I need modifications to your present booths? |
| A. |
Because we manufacture our booths, we are able to make some customization changes to them. You simply have to tell us what your needs are. |
|
| Q. |
What are the differences between the different types of paint booths? |
| A. |
The differences are primarily in the presentation of air flow. |
|
| Q. |
How long does it take for delivery after I order? |
| A. |
Once the pay method is accepted it normally takes 5 to 7 days to arrive at your location, provided you need it within this time period. |
|
| Q. |
Will someone be available by phone to answer questions should I choose to install the booth myself? |
| A. |
Yes. During normal business hours there is someone available to answer any questions that may arise. |
