Paint Booth Reviews: Which Configuration Is Right for You?

In addition to application, paint booths are categorized according to airflow (sometimes called configuration). The three main configurations are crossdraft, downdraft, and side downdraft. Everything else is simply a variation on one of these.

Crossdraft Spray Booths

Affordability and easy installation are the hallmarks of a crossdraft spray booth, because they don't require concrete work or duct installation. Airflow originates through filters in the front door and out through an exhaust system in the back of the unit. Although finish quality is less than with a downdraft model, you can improve it dramatically with the addition of an air make up model.

Downdraft Spray Booths

When your goal is creating a factory finish, downdraft is probably the booth you want. These models pull in air through filters in the ceiling, which then moves across the work surface before exiting via the exhaust system in the floor. This pulls any contaminants downward, which is what creates such a pristine finish.

One drawback to a downdraft booth is the need for a concrete pit or raised floor (the overspray has to go somewhere). If your shop already has this, you're ready to go, since these booths don't cost significantly more than their crossdraft counterparts. However, if you have to install the concrete pit, your costs go up considerably. You also need to worry whether you have the room for this add-on.

Side Downdraft Spray Booths

On the surface, the side downdraft spray booth is the perfect compromise. You get the downward airflow for an excellent finish but without the need for a concrete floor. That's because the exhaust system is in the sidewalls. And that's where the "but" comes in.

The sidewall exhaust system means that the operator is likely standing in the path of the overspray. It also requires extensive ductwork, which may cost more than the concrete floor. Even so, side downdraft booths are popular for shop that need the quality of a downdraft but don't have the space or ability to install the concrete floor.
