Exclusive to GFS, the Controlled Airflow Ceiling’s patented design maximizes the effectiveness of downdraft Ultra Paint Booths and increases the booth’s overall spray zone with a full-width ceiling plenum. The main airflow zone in the Controlled Airflow Ceiling creates a protective envelope of air around the vehicle, while secondary airflow zones protect booth walls from overspray and keep contaminants out of paint jobs. Between these zones is a row of color-corrected, angled ceiling light fixtures, located directly above the vehicle for optimal illumination.
Generally accepted as the best airflow style, downdraft booths do an excellent job of controlling overspray and contamination. Air enters downdraft Ultra Paint Booths through GFS’ patented Controlled Airflow Ceiling, a full-width filtered ceiling plenum. From there, air flows vertically over the vehicle and into the filtered exhaust pit in the floor.
The semi-downdraft booth is a hybrid, combining features of both crossdraft and downdraft booths. Air is introduced into semi-downdraft Ultra Booths through the High-Performance Airflow Ceiling in the first 25-30 percent of the booth. It’s then pulled through the working chamber, over the vehicle and into the filtered exhaust chamber at the booth rear.

For more than a century, Michael Cuene’s family has bought, sold and repaired cars. In the latest expansion of his flagship dealership, all signs pointed to GFS being the best fit for Broadway Automotive Collision Center. And in 2022, a massive rebuild — featuring four paint booths, a dual-bay prep station and two paint mix rooms from GFS, as well as 42 service bays and a drive-thru estimating station — has Cuene feeling good about the future of his business.
With more than 100 vehicles awaiting repair at any time and a shop expansion in the works, Cranston Collision needed equipment that would increase production and deliver the high-quality finishes their customers have come to expect. A pair of Ultra XR Paint Booths from GFS and local distributor Collision Center Design has given Dennis Gamba the tools to help Cranston Collision discover their full potential.
