Blasting Service
Explanation:
I do not believe there is a term for “puhaltamo” but generally blasting is used as a part of the name
Abrasive Blasting Service
Jay R's Auto Body Sand Blasting and Coating Service
etc.

There are various types of blasting methods sand blasting, air blasting shot blasting, vapour blasting....

We do have blast units or blast stations and cabins but these would then be utilized in places where the actual blasting is provided (well I suppose one can rent these out as well)


Unless, of course if we refer to Glassblowing “lasin puhallus”
Precision Glassblowing Inc
Blasting on sanan blast partisiipin preesens
And obviously we are not blowing anything up here either………

(abrasive/sand etc.) blasting shop


Explanation:
It is a room or similar where you (abrasive/sand etc.) blast objects that usually will be painted afterwards (in maalaamo, painting shop).

Can also refer to glassblowing shop, but that is not probable.
