And when you purchase and or install a paint booth is the diffuser installed with the assembly or is that something that needs a consultation and and special fitment for your booth?
Hi Cameron, that would depend on if the booth is pressurized or non-pressurized. You would only keep the booth running if it was pressurized. Thank you!
Pig Mat or not, vacuuming regularly is the most cost effective way to keep the trash out of your paint job, since the surface of bare concrete is very porous, as seen under magnification, where it looks like craters on the moon, so it traps dry overspray and dirt, until the painter walks by, drags the hose across the floor, or has to get low with the spray gun. A cheap $99.00 canister vac with hepa filtration works wonders.
Not very often, frankly. I have installed 367 paintbooths in 38 years, east to west, north to south, and I mostly see concrete floors. Some painted, some coated, some with carpet, some use roofing felt, and a few use commercially available products made specifically for spray booths. The industry is constantly evolving, new ideas and products come and go. Most shops have to go with whats gets the best results with the least expense and down-time.
Hi Ed - Vacuums, brooms and mops can pass over PIG Grippy Mat without damaging the mat or affecting its grip. For stubborn stains that do not come out during normal cleaning, use a stiff bristle brush with regular floor cleaning solution to agitate and loosen the stain. The PIG Grippy Mat usually dries in less than five hours. Standard fans or floor blowers can be used to accelerate drying. For extremely wet conditions, you can speed up the drying process by removing the water using a wet/dry vacuum or dry mop.
I have gotten into arguments with some high paid consultants over carpet in booth. Blew my mind he was trying to force us to put it in a booth. Especially from someone in his position
very helpful, thank you!
Great video!

Hey Mike!
Yes, if you buy a GFS booth, it will come with a diffuser and it will be assembled during installation. Thanks for asking!
Would you still keep the booth running while loading even with a cross draft?
Hi Cameron, that would depend on if the booth is pressurized or non-pressurized. You would only keep the booth running if it was pressurized. Thank you!
Hello, I wonder many times if it would be useful using a hand vaccum in the booth floor every morning befor starting to work.
Yes, it's a great idea to vacuum your booth everyday, especially if you have PIG Mat.

Hi, I was wondering how often you you see shops today use pig May or something like it?
Hi Mike!
We are seeing that most shops are using PIG Mat now and we highly recommend it. Thanks for asking!
