The Product

The Standard Panel System is a bolt-together, 2-panel (side and back) welding booth built from 14-gauge double panel steel with industrial-grade powder coating. It's designed for facilities that need a reliable, compliant booth without premium features.

Available in 5x5 and 6x6 (AWS Standard) sizing, the system meets NFPA, OSHA, and ADA requirements out of the box.

The Challenge

Mission High School needed to equip its welding program as part of a broader building renovation, with a tight budget and a construction timeline already in motion. The school needed a solution that was:

  • Cost-effective, without sacrificing compliance
  • Simple to install alongside other renovation work, without specialized contractors or hot work permits
  • Fully compliant with NFPA, OSHA, and ADA accessibility standards
  • Configured to give instructors clear sightlines across the shop floor

The Solution

After consulting with Fume Xtractors, Mission High School selected the Standard Panel welding booth system, paired with fume extraction arms to capture welding fumes and smoke directly at the source. The result was one complete system from a single vendor, laid out so an instructor can easily walk through and monitor students' work.

Why it was the right fit

  • Cost-effective: lower total cost of ownership
  • Bolt-together: no hot work permits needed
  • Durable: 14-gauge powder-coated steel
  • ADA compliant: open design for instructor access
