When we think of a paint booth, it's natural to only imagine the end result: a cleaner, more uniform, and dust-free paint job. But before talking about filters, ventilation, and airflow, there's something many people ignore: the structure. The way the booth is built, the materials that make up its walls and frame make all the difference in the material's durability. And this is where two essential elements come in: ISOPLATE® panels and the aluminum structure, used in booths like the... BLOCKO® BOX. For those who work in small workshops, understanding this is fundamental. The equipment in the repair booth is part of the guarantee of control, cleanliness, and quality from the very first service.
The foundation of everything: why structure is so important.
The cabin structure is the "skeleton" that supports the filters, panels, and the entire ventilation system. In improvised cabins, made with unsuitable materials, problems arise such as:
- Deformations and misalignment of the walls;
- Corrosion caused by moisture, paint, and solvents;
- accumulation of dust and dirt;
- difficulty in cleaning;
- poor durability.
That's why BLOCKO® BOX and other modern booths use aluminum as their structural base. It guarantees what professionals need: stability, strength, and lightness, as well as significantly less maintenance.
Aluminum frame: lightweight, durable, and rust-free.
Aluminum is one of the most efficient materials for paint booths for several reasons:
- Aluminum is used in high-performance applications due to its high strength, lightness, and mechanical resistance properties.;
- Modular construction system, facilitating application and dimensional customization;
- Excellent corrosion resistance, even in constant contact with paint, moisture, and chemicals;
- Easy assembly and installation thanks to the patented snap-fit system.
For small workshops, this means more time producing and less time doing repairs or dealing with structural makeshift solutions.
What are ISOPLATE® panels and why are they so efficient?
ISOPLATE® panels are insulating panels specially developed for the construction of compact and efficient cabins. This material is a patented evolution of the panel technology used in the road equipment industry. They are manufactured using an extrusion process and have interlocking parts that provide a perfect seal. Their composition makes them self-extinguishing, meaning they do not propagate flames, according to the UL-94 flammability classification standard. How they work:
- They possess high chemical resistance, approved in tests carried out at UCS (University of Caxias do Sul) with toluene, acidic water and acetone;
- Excellent resistance to aging in environments with high UV radiation exposure;
- High impact resistance compared to traditional thermal panels used in paint booth construction;
- High mechanical strength of the panel due to its construction inspired by stringer design;
- Easy to clean due to its smooth surface.
This type of panel is far superior to wood or common metal sheets, which accumulate dirt, warp, or corrode over time.
In the daily routine of a workshop, the right structure makes all the difference.
A cabin made with aluminum and ISOPLATE® panels makes the professional's life easier:
- It lasts longer;
- It is simpler to assemble and maintain;
- It's easier to clean;
- Keeps the workshop more organized.
And most importantly: it delivers consistent results, which adds value to the service. Entry-level models like the BLOCKO® BOX use these materials precisely to offer a lightweight, efficient cabin ideal for small workshops.
The quality standard starts at the base.
It's not just the spray gun, the compressor, or the paint that determines the final result; it's also the booth's structure. ISOPLATE® panels and aluminum form a base that guarantees durability, efficient airflow, cleanliness, and professionalism. This combination is what transforms a simple booth into a truly professional one.
