GAF, the nation’s largest roofing and ventilation manufacturer, has joined with Ply Gem, a leading manufacturer of exterior building products for the residential construction market, as they introduce The Designed Exterior Collection by Ply Gem, a new collection of nine exterior home elevations designed to inspire consumers, builders, architects and remodelers. The collection features a variety of historically-inspired designs, each including one of several GAF roofing options specially selected to enhance the exterior’s overall aesthetic.
Ply Gem has developed tools for contractors and remodelers interested in creating the featured looks, including a Design Guide that lists the key architectural elements of each style and a Spec Guide that details specific products that can be used to duplicate each design. There is also a virtual tour of a Designed Exterior neighborhood that can be explored at www.designedexterior.com.
“We’ve seen the trend of more customized exteriors grow, and we’re excited to join Ply Gem as a part of The Designed Exterior Collection to help the industry better match a roofing material style with the architectural character of their design,” said Paul Bromfield, Senior Vice President of marketing at GAF.
“Our hope is that homeowners will be inspired by The Designed Exterior Collection and that builders and contractors will use the visuals to start a dialogue with customers and use the tools to create the architectural features they desire,” said John Stephenson, vice president, corporate marketing and communications, Ply Gem.
