Game-Changing Roofing Tech: How GAF
Raises The Bar On Every Project
Breakthrough Innovations That
Deliver Roofing Excellence
Customers often ask us why we prefer to install only GAF shingles.
Sure, we considered other shingle manufacturers. And there are quite a few big names out there. But the truth is, none of them came close to GAF.
You see, in Central Ohio and Kentucky, we get wind… A LOT of wind. We knew we could only in good conscience install shingles that would last.
GAF roofing systems are designed differently from the alternatives to build roofs with easy-to-nail technology, windproof construction, and a durable adhesive. With the company’s innovations, your roof will be built stronger and made to outlast the wild Central Ohio and Kentucky weather.
As an industry-leading roofing manufacturer, GAF expects the highest standards of quality from the roofers who install its products. So, they made it nearly foolproof to use their products.
Let’s take our popular-selling GAF Timberline® HDZ™ shingle for example. Here are three ways GAF’s innovative technology shines in this product.
1. StrikeZone™: The Big Target That Changes Everything
A shingle roof takes a lot of nails (six per shingle if you do it right like we do). And if those nails are nailed in the wrong places on the shingle, they don’t do a lick of good.
Asphalt shingles are made with a distinct strip designated for nailing. Most shingles only have a tiny area that requires exact nailing precision.
Now, this can lead to some mishaps…
- Nails in the wrong places can cause leaks
- Slower installation speed
- Sloppy results because of poor nail placement
- Shorter roof lifespan
To avoid these mishaps, GAF developed their patented StrikeZone™.
They took the average itty bitty nail area found on other shingles and maximized it by 600%. Roofers would literally have to be blindfolded to miss it. In fact, GAF’s StrikeZone™ ensures 99.9% accuracy.
2. LayerLock™: Fused For Maximum Durability
But GAF didn’t just leave it up to a wider nailing area for lasting roofing performance. Their LayerLock™ technology works with the StrikeZone™ to literally fuse your shingles together.
This innovation enables roofers to deliver a more durable roof due to added strength at the common bond, reinforcing the StrikeZone™ area.
How does this benefit you? You get…
- A faster installation
- Fewer missed nail strikes
- Better durability and longevity
- Access to a better wind warranty
With their LayerLock™ technology, you get access to GAF’s WindProven Limited Warranty that has no wind speed limitations. In addition to our 50 years of non-prorated coverage, just imagine the peace of mind that comes with that!
3. DuraGrip™ Adhesive: Holding It All Together
The third defining innovation of GAF Timberline® HDZ™ shingles is their DuraGrip™ Adhesive. When GAF created this shingle line, nothing was left up to chance.
Their proprietary shingle-to-shingle adhesive is applied to every shingle during the manufacturing process. Once the shingles are installed, the heat of the sun and the weight of the installed roof activate the adhesive, ensuring a tight hold that won’t break.
This is important for several reasons…
- Prevention of shingle blow-off
- Quicker weather-tight protection
- Improved long-term durability
Essentially, when you install a GAF Timberline® HDZ™ roof, you can nail it, seal it, lock it, and forget it.
And the best part is that DuraGrip™ Adhesive works in tandem with both StrikeZone™ and LayerLock™ technology to keep your shingles firmly together for the long haul. Essentially, it creates a triple layer of holding power.
