A Quick Guide to Choosing Quality Strip Doors
Working with strip doors, industrial teams can create the ideal separation between their working spaces. However, oftentimes leaders at industrial facilities don’t have time to review the marketplace and pinpoint their ideal product. They need guidance from trusted leaders within the industrial partition manufacturing marketplace, and that’s why they turn to experts such as our team here at Goff’s Enterprises, Inc. In this latest post, we’ll highlight our guide to choosing quality strip doors.
Choose an Experienced Manufacturer of Strip Doors
Strip doors must be built according to strict specifications to meet the highest of quality requirements within industrial facilities. Therefore, it’s critical that your team works with a manufacturer that has experience in the market. They should be able to highlight their experience and the value their products have had within client facilities.
Size the Product Carefully
As a result of faulty sizing, your project could be slowed down or even halted. Make sure you coordinate carefully with the manufacturer and ensure they understand the sizing and application restrictions in place within your facility before beginning the building process.
Take a Warranty
When purchasing the product, a warranty will be required to secure the value for your investment. Most companies will have a warranty available to purchase but at Goff’s ours comes standard. Regardless of manufacturer’s experience, a warranty will help protect your team in case of product failure. Having the warranty at your disposal will ensure you’re not left without recourse should the structural value of the system deteriorate sooner than expected.
Choose a Product for Low Maintenance
The maintenance of strip doors is a leading consideration before the purchase is completed. How much time is your team prepared to dedicate to the care process? Make sure you choose a product with simple maintenance instructions to ensure high durability performance that allows your team members to focus solely on their working performance.

When it comes to control systems, Goff’s has options! The toggle switch comes standard on all powered G1 Bug Screen Doors. With the standard option, your installer or electrician will handle the wiring to and from the toggle switch to get your door up and running.

Winterize Your Warehouse with Climate Curtains
Bring Comfort and Productivity to Your Employees.
Winter can present serious challenges for warehouse operations – particularly in cold climates. Effectively heating an entire warehouse can be difficult, or even impossible, which can be a big problem if you want your workers putting in maximum productivity. Cold temperatures can quickly sap workers’ strength, as well as hurting morale. Not to mention the cost to pump heat through an entire facility. However, we have a solution: Goff’s Climate Curtains!
These vinyl curtains are specifically designed to act as insulating barriers while interfering with work as little as possible. They’re also great in any situation where you need to keep particularly hot or cold temperatures contained.
What Are Climate Curtains?
Our climate curtains are made of two layers of 18oz vinyl, with a layer of double bubble foil insulation thermal material in between. This combination makes them extremely lightweight, as well as easy to move and work with. While still giving them superior insulate properties.
They are designed to be hung from the ceiling and can either be semi-permanent or attached to a track and trolley system for easy access. Each panel includes overlapping panels on either side so that sheets can be attached without creating gaps. Likewise, gaps at the top and the bottom can be covered with a valance that Velcros to the top of your curtain, creating a cold-proofed environment. And all this in a curtain only 1/4″ thick! However you utilize them, once they’re in place, they’ll give your workers plenty of protection from the cold.
Why Double Bubble Foil Insulation?
If you need a material that is thin and lightweight, but amazing at holding in heat, double bubble foil insulation is among the best products on the market. The double bubble foil insulation thermal material consists of two layers of polyethylene industrialized air bubbles that are bonded between two layers of aluminum polyester film. A single sheet of thermal material is only a few 1/4″ thick, and is not affected by moisture or humidity. This makes it perfect for creating thermal curtains.
Double bubble foil insulation meets the Class 1/Class A fire rating and will not compress, collapse or disintegrate over time. It does not promote growth of fungi mold or mildew and prevents nesting of insects or rodents.
Take Separation A Step Further.
When creating entire rooms with Climate Curtains, take it one step further and incorporate a roll up door. Utilizing easy-to-use high performance vinyl doors will make your space accessible and help to keep temperatures regulated. Whether you’re in and out of your cooler space all day, or only need occasional access, roll-up doors are a great solution to further make your space energy efficient and cost effective.
Your Bottom Line?
The heat bill can get expensive in the colder months when trying to heat an entire warehouse or facility. You may have cold storage or areas that do not need to be heated. Create an entire room or block off sections of your open spaces with Climate Curtains. This will save on that electric bill and create more efficient operations.
Keeping your employees comfortable and productive while efficiently heating and cooling your facility will go a long way with your business.

Level Up with Goff's Safety Options
When incorporating vinyl doors into your facility, you are most-likely looking to increase efficiency and speed of your day-to-day processes. While increasing efficiency and speed, safety becomes a top priority. Goff’s wants to make the most out of their high performance doors, so many great features come standard. But why not take it to the next level? Make sure your door stays working efficiently while your employees stay working safely.
Other companies have sensors that reverse the door when an impact happens. We believe that pre-notification of a potential impact is better than notification after an impact has occurred!
That being said, Goff’s now offers premium safety options that are compatible with all of Goff’s High Performance Doors. These features upgrade your Intelligent Control System powered Goff’s door to feature the following:
01. Innovative Smart Touch Screen
Increase safety with our easy-to-use Smart Touch Screen control system! This innovative system enables door activation at the touch of your finger while also displaying auto-close timer countdown. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find that the Smart Touch Screen monitors system safety status and fault codes. This helps to simplify maintenance to reduce downtime.
02. Two Motion/Presence Sensors
Sensors on both sides of the door that respond to motion or presence near the door. This minimizes opportunities for unwanted door closures or impact.
03. Two pairs of 42" Light Curtains
A pair of light curtains on both sides of the opening only allow the door to close if unobstructed. Then, resetting the auto-close timer each time its beam is broken.
04. Two Safety Strobes
Our safety strobes on both sides of the door begin flashing 5 seconds before and during door movement. Thus, providing an additional layer of pre-warning.
When properly set up, the premium safety options provide the ultimate safety solution. They prevents any sort of impact with the door at your facility. As a result, increasing plant safety while reducing downtime and liability with every cycle. Level up your safety on your high performance vinyl doors and include this comprehensive safety package on your next purchase.
Upgrade your next door project!

Are Sneeze Guards Effective Against COVID-19?
Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the Sneeze Guard concept has become widely known around the world as a form of protective equipment that shields from airborne contaminants and viruses to ensure safety. Sneeze and coughs travel several feet, contaminating everything and everyone in their path. The point of this PPE device is to block any of those germs from spreading onto various surfaces and individuals. So, are Sneeze Guards effective against COVID-19?
Our Experiment.
We set up an experiment using UV reactive dye to simulate sneezes in a bar setting. Thus, illustrating the difference between an unprotected and protected bar using one of Goff’s hanging Personal Safety Partitions. As shown in the illustration, the left side of the bar counter has no protection at all, leaving work surfaces, the bartender, and the customers exposed to any airborne germs. However, the right side of the counter has one of our flexible, clear PVC partitions hanging over the bar top. This provides a shield for these airborne germs protecting the guests, employees, and all the working surfaces. After spraying both sides with the reactive dye, we used the UV light to expose the results.

The Results.
Unprotected Bar Counter
In this image, where there was no partition for protection, the sneeze simulation coated the bar surface. It reached all the way to the floor behind the bar, thoroughly infecting the glasses for other customers and work surface.
Protected by Hanging Partition
On the right, our hanging partition captured a majority of the contaminants, with only minimal spray gathering at the edge of the counter. Leaving the floor behind the bar, glasses, and working surfaces protected, proving sneeze guards are effective.
The hanging partition did exactly what it was designed to do and acted as a shield for the sneeze. It prevented the spread of airborne contaminants in this bar, improving the safety and comfort for guests and employees. With just a few simple wipes using isopropyl alcohol, this partition can be quickly and easily sanitized for the next user. So, are sneeze guards effective? Definitely. Check out the full video of the experiment here.
After seeing the results of the experiment, where would you feel more comfortable?
Goff’s Personal Safety Partitions can be used in many different applications to separate close contact areas, ultimately keeping all individuals and necessary surfaces in your facility safe and contaminant free.

Gym Screen Dividers for Social Distancing
During the course of this pandemic, people have been forced to withdraw from their normal routines and activities. Fitness centers and gyms being one of the many luxuries most people have found alternatives for or given up completely. Getting back to a “normal” way of living is what we are longing for. As a result, Goff’s has created portable gym screen dividers for social distancing to help provide safety and get fitness centers and gyms up and running.
Gym Screen Dividers for Social Distancing.
With CDC guidelines to install physical barriers, such as sneeze guards and partitions between individuals in areas of close contact where maintaining physical distance of at least 6 feet is difficult, gyms can be tricky. Gym equipment such as treadmills and ellipticals can be extremely heavy to move 6 feet apart. Even removing the equipment completely and storing elsewhere can seem impossible. With portable fitness dividers, gym owners can place them between weight machines or cardio equipment without adjusting their floor plan.
We’ve Got Options.
All gym layouts are different so having different options for sneeze guard protection only makes it easier to keep members feeling safe. Goff’s offers two different sneeze guard styles or gym screen dividers for social distancing. Easily hang our Personal Safety Partitions from the ceiling leaving no footprint. These are minimally intrusive and great for front desks or static equipment areas. A second option is a floor-standing portable fitness divider. It is easy to move and great for cardio, lifting, yoga or other flexible areas around your gym. Goff’s also has the flexibility to create custom projects if you have a unique situation or are looking for something to fit your specific needs. In addition, all Personal Safety Partitions are antibacterial and are easy to wipe down and clean, just like your equipment.
Using Portable Fitness Dividers in Your Gym.
The safety and comfort of your gym members is your top priority. So don’t let the time consuming and tedious act of moving all your gym equipment and changing up your floor plan stop your members from maintaining healthy lifestyles. Below are a few ideas to get you started on where to implement gym screen dividers for social distancing.
Between Treadmills
Place hanging partitions between side-by-side cardio machines, like treadmills, to maximize capacity while ensuring safety for users.
Between Machines
Place portable fitness divider partitions in between your strengthening equipment with the opportunity to easily move them around for flexible coverage anywhere.
At the Front Desk
Place hanging partitions at the front counter to protect both employees and members while in close contact with one another.
Why Goff’s Personal Safety Partitions?
These portable fitness dividers and sneeze guards are clear and minimally intrusive allowing full visibility through the partition. They help users feel safe and separated without impeding on your space’s design or lighting. Since safety comes first, our easy-to-clean clear PVC makes sanitation quick and easy using isopropyl alcohol, maintaining a safe and clean surface on both sides of the partition for each and every user. Gym screen dividers for social distancing shield against airborne contaminants and viruses, improving safety and comfort. Using transparent PVC is much safer than plexiglass sneeze guards. As a result, they won’t crack or splinter, as well as meet USDA & NFPA 701 standards for safety and sanitation.

Transparent Shields for Schools-Reopening Schools in a Time of COVID-19
Schools are in a rush to make a plan for students and faculty returning to in-person learning. With the COVID-19 pandemic, this task looks different than previous years. Some districts are looking at postponing the reopening of school while others are looking to put strict policies in place to keep everyone safe. These policies include requiring face coverings, the logistics behind changing classes, smaller class sizes, and additional social distancing measures. Goff’s offers an option of transparent shields for schools to help with social distancing.
CDC guidelines recommends you “Install physical barriers, such as sneeze guards and partitions, particularly in areas where it is difficult for individuals to remain at least 6 feet apart.” Schools don’t always have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to adjusting class sizes or implementing the 6 feet social distancing requirement. Utilizing sneeze guards or transparent desk shields is a way to keep class sizes the same and create protection for students. Personal Safety Partitions are available in three different options to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools. Continue reading to learn what Goff’s offers and the many areas in a school they can provide protection.
For your School, Students, and Safety.
Goff’s Personal Safety Partitions come in three options to be used as transparent shields for schools. All of these options are made from clear PVC designed to be minimally intrusive, so the focus is on the classroom. PVC is also the safest option for desk shields, especially compared to plexiglass sneeze guards. Partitions are antibacterial and meet NFPA fire standards to maximize safety at your school. Custom sizes are also available from 18” to 120” designed to fit every desk and table in your facility. Similarly, 20x22x16 Tabletop Cubicle options are available covering three sides of the desk. Below you will find options for hanging, free-standing on the floor, and tabletop desk shields.
Applications.
