Deck-Armor™
Protect Your Home With Premium "Breathable" Roof Deck Protection
Premium Roof Deck Protection should protect your home and reduce trapped moisture
at the same time (amazingly, most so-called premium products do NOT!)
It provides a critical extra layer of protection between your shingles and your
roof deck — to help prevent wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from
infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure or to
the inside of your home. In addition, premium-quality roof deck protection will:
-
“Breathe”...
To allow moisture from inside your attic to escape (to help prevent structural decay,
mold, and mildew)
-
Provide Longer-Lasting Leak Protection...
Than conventional “felts” (which can rot or become brittle before your shingles
reach their useful life)
-
Lay Flatter...
So your shingles will lay flat
and uniform
Deck-Armor™ roof deck protection is a key part of the GAF Lifetime Roofing
System, and has even earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal.
The GAF Lifetime Roofing System has earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal,
which means that Good Housekeeping stands behind the products in this system. (Refer

Conventional organic felts can absorb moisture, causing severe buckling and wrinkling
— and a terrible-looking roof

Revolutionary “Breathable” Technology…
Helps prevent inside moisture from becoming trapped within your roofing system —
and causing mold, mildew, and expensive structural damage
-
Premium Construction…
Exceptionally durable, non-asphaltic construction will not rot or become brittle

-
Long-Lasting Protection…
Up to a Lifetime ltd. warranty when installed on Lifetime Shingle roofs.

The word "Lifetime" means as long as the original individual owner of
a single family detached residence (or the second owner in certain circumstances)
owns the property where the shingles and accessories are installed. For owners/structures
not meeting above criteria, Lifetime coverage is not applicable. Lifetime ltd. warranty
on accessories requires the use of at least three qualifying GAF accessories and
