How Semi Down Draft Works

Filtered air in.
Overspray out the back.

Air enters through the filtered intake plenum across the ceiling, flows down and across your work, then exhausts through the rear chamber. A high-velocity exhaust system with heavy-duty fiberglass filters keeps the cabin clean and dust-free.

Construction Options

Single-wall or dual-skin insulated.

Match the panel construction to your facility and budget — from cost-effective single-wall to a premium insulated build for non-climate-controlled shops and high-end finish work.

Standard

Single-Wall Construction

18-gauge G-90 galvanized steel panels with a powder-coated finish. CNC-punched bolt holes on 6″ centers for precision assembly — ideal for climate-controlled facilities where temperature stability isn’t critical.

Premium

Dual-Skin Insulated Construction

Two layers of 20-gauge galvanized steel, powder-coated white inside and out, with a 2″ mineral-wool core and airtight tongue-and-groove joints. Adds temperature control, 30–40% energy savings, noise reduction, NFPA 33 fire resistance, and a cleaner finish.

FAQ

Semi down draft booths, answered.

What is a semi down draft paint booth?

A semi down draft booth pulls air from a filtered intake plenum on the ceiling, guides it down and across your work, and exhausts it through the rear chamber. It balances vertical and horizontal airflow — the smart middle ground of cost and finish quality for cars, trucks, vans, and specialty vehicles.

What sizes are available?

Standard Orion Series semi down draft booths come in four lengths — 24′, 27′, 30′, and 33′ — all 14′W × 9′H. Custom sizes and roof-height extensions are available for larger work.

Is the booth ETL certified?

Yes. These models are ETL-certified by Intertek/ETL and recognized by OSHA, meeting NFPA 33 — the certification local authorities often require. ETL certification is included with your purchase, and our booths are certified in all US states.

What’s the difference between single-wall and dual-skin construction?

Single-wall uses 18-gauge G-90 galvanized panels — cost-effective for climate-controlled shops. Dual-skin insulated adds two layers of steel with a 2″ mineral-wool core for temperature control, 30–40% energy savings, noise reduction, NFPA 33 fire resistance, and a cleaner finish — ideal for non-climate-controlled facilities.

Can I add a heater for spray and bake cycles?

Yes. An optional 1.0 MBTU burner adds spray, bake, and cool-down cycles. Powder coating, upgraded LED lighting, double-wall insulated panels, and motor upgrades are also available.
