Cleaner air coming into your Garmat booth means fewer dust nibs and fewer redos. This blanket is cut to standard Garmat ceiling sizes so it drops in with no trimming, and in-stock sizes ship the same day when ordered by 2pm MT. Not sure of your size? Send us your booth model and we will confirm it before you order.

Purpose-built for Garmat downdraft and modified-downdraft spray booths, this M5-grade (formerly F5) tackified polyester ceiling filter drops straight into your ceiling plenum with no trimming and no gaps. It fits the Garmat 3000 downdraft, Tier 1, Chinook, Frontier, and Dual Bay Frontier lines, plus custom-length 31-foot configurations. As a Colorado-based distributor headquartered in the same town as Garmat USA's manufacturing facility, we know these booths inside and out.

High-volume production paint operations

Any Garmat downdraft installation that needs M5 (formerly F5) or EU5-grade ceiling intake filtration

Usage & Care

Garmat's Chinook II owner's manual sets ceiling filters at 1,000 to 1,200 hour intervals. The media is rated to a 450 Pa (1.81 in. w.g.) final pressure drop. Your booth's pressure gauge is the real signal: change the blanket when it reaches the booth's limit. Pair with regular Garmat exhaust tower bag changeouts, about every 50 to 100 spray hours, for full booth maintenance.
