GFF’s Home and Building Products is focused on residential sectional garage doors, alongside commercial sectional doors, rolling steel doors, and grille products sold across various brands.

Meanwhile, its Consumer and Professional Products portfolio features branded residential and industrial ceiling fans, wire and wood shelving, storage cabinets, long-handled tools, and landscaping products, and more.

GFF’s business experienced large growth between 2020 and 2022 as the housing market boomed amid low interest rates and historic Covid-based housing market trends. Things have cooled off over the last few years for Griffon.
