Mardan Fabrication guard booths are all portable, prefabricated and factory-assembled with pre finished white aluminum construction. While Mardan guard booths come with the standard white finish, for a more customized look, designers and owners can specify from a wide variety of colors to be applied. Mardan Fabrication utilizes an automotive style spray booth and professional finishers to prep and paint the exterior of the guard booths. Typically Mardan Fabrication will add the optional color to the exterior of the security booth and leave the interior the clean, bright standard white finish. The exterior color of the booth can be such that it complements surrounding buildings, or matches up with a company color scheme. Mardan Fabrication can also provide multiple paint colors to complement or contrast with the existing architecture.
Sometimes, a color is chosen to make the guard booth stand out, such as Safety Yellow or Safety Red. Also, directional signage or even plain text can be added as vinyl lettering.
For an even more elaborate design treatment, made possible with advances in graphics technology, once the booth is on site, your signage supplier could be tapped to add a vinyl wrapper that can further enhance the appearance.
Additionally, Mardan guard booths, ticket booths or information booths can be painted in the field. This can range from a simple one or two tone paint job to a totally customized appearance. For example, local artists can spruce up the guard booths with their artwork. For an example, local artists in Florida used acrylic waterbase paints to paint the exterior of the information booth shown here.

By design a device that includes a 20-amp plug cannot plug into a 15-amp receptacle. This prevents the circuit from drawing more than the rated amperage.
The Branch Circuit Breaker installed in the guard booth load center prevents the circuit from drawing more amperage power than it is rated for. The Breaker prevents the circuit from overheating and causing a fire. Multiple Outlets can be installed on a circuit as well as the Lighting. If the amount of amperage power is too high, the Circuit Breaker will trip. Thus, protecting the circuit and the wiring. The Branch Circuit Breaker protects the installed wiring downstream in the electrical circuit and electrical devices. The Branch Circuit Breakers are connected to the interior of the Load Center to what is called the Buss. The Buss transfers the power from the service feed to the Branch Breakers. There are two Buss Bars that run in the interior of the Load Center in an alternating pattern. Each of these Buss Bars provides alternating 120 volts of power called Phases. For a 208/240-volt system these phases are identified as “Phase A” and “Phase B”. The Branch Breakers will connect to either one or both of Buss Bar Phases. When a Single-Pole Branch Breaker is connected to either Phase A or B, it will provide 120 volts of power for up to the rated Amperage of the Circuit Breaker. When a Two-Pole Branch Breaker is connected, it will connect to both “Phases A and B”, and it will provide 208/240-volts of power up to the rated amperage of the Circuit Breaker. Typically, the HVAC unit and Heater are powered by a 208/240-volt circuit.
The Load Center in a guard booth can be provided with a Main Disconnecting Circuit Breaker or a Main lug only. If a Main Breaker is provided, the Main Breaker protects the Buss from overheating.
The site provided Service Power Feed and associated wiring will be protected by the Branch Circuit Breaker that is installed in the Panel supplying power to the Booth. The Site Electrician will determine the Service Feed Breaker Amperage Rating and the AWG wire size. This is based on the site conditions such as the distance of the run from the feeding Panel to the Booth.
