Everything You Need to Know About GAF’s Timberline® Shingles

The GAF Timberline® collection is North America’s best-selling asphalt roofing shingles. It features six products with unique but equally impressive qualities to meet every home improvement need and budget.

As a Master Elite® roofer, Krech Exteriors shares the top reasons Timberline shingle products make the ultimate alternative to traditional wood shakes or slates:

Made With Advanced Protection® Technology

With tireless product research and development, GAF has perfected the art of optimizing the material content of asphalt roofing product. Advanced Protection® shingles reconcile weight with performance effectively, increasing their toughness, wind-uplift defense, fire rating and granule adhesion. Unlike old-fashioned shingles, GAF products meet the requirements of the most torturous performance tests with advanced science.

In other words, they’re the sturdiest roofing shingles on the market. They use the right amount of materials to improve their strength, durability, waterproofing ability and wind resistance, and they deliver superior protection for your home.

Built to Turn Heads and Age Gracefully

Timberline shingles are architecturally stylish but amazingly affordable, costing just a fraction of the price of traditional roofing materials. They boast an ultra-dimensional and timeless look with thick shingle tabs and long-lasting granules. We use Diamond Cut™, UV Blocker and Color Lock™ Ceramic Firing technologies to lend depth and dimension to every shingle and increase fade resistance.

Furthermore, they’re available in many “High-Definition” color blends and realistic wood-shake and slate textures to emulate the dramatic appearance of Old World roofing materials.

Protected Against Algae Discoloration

Experienced roofing contractors know that GAF products are impervious to algae growth. Most of the Timberline shingles come with the standard StainGuard® Protection, which inhibits pronounced blue-green algae discoloration for 10 years.

For longer algae resistance, Timberline Ultra HD® Lifetime High Definition® Shingles feature the StainGuard Plus™ time-release technology. GAF’s latest breakthrough ensures efficient algae-fighting copper delivery, preventing stains for a long period.

Engineered to Deliver Enhanced Qualities

Timberline Cool Series® and Timberline ArmorShield™ II Shingles have specialized properties to achieve outstanding solar heat reflectivity and emissivity, and hail protection. If you want to elevate your home’s weather resistance, either makes an excellent investment.
