GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, was recently again awarded the Gold Innovation Award for Asphalt Roofing Shingles from Home Builder Executive for its advancements in the category over the past year.
GAF was acknowledged for innovative new shingle lines, including the new diamond-shaped Sienna™ Lifetime Designer Shingles, as well as for Monaco Lifetime Designer Shingles, which are the only asphalt shingles to have the appearance of clay tile. The company was also commended for being the first to introduce a Lifetime limited warranty on all laminated shingles, as well as for leading the industry by offering a Lifetime limited warranty on complete roofing systems.
Home Builder Executive Innovation Award honorees include manufacturers that have brought unique products, features, and/or builder programs to market during the past year. Editors review company websites, press releases, and promotional materials along with articles and interviews published over the past year to determine award winners.
“We are so pleased to have been honored with another Innovation Award for our Lifetime Designer Shingles,” stated Ted Marcopolus, vice president of marketing services at GAF. “We are constantly striving to create innovative concepts that will satisfy the needs of our customers—and it’s great to be recognized for that focus.”
All of GAF’s Lifetime Shingles incorporate GAF’s proprietary Advanced Protection Technology, which results in shingles that offer improved performance—including superior durability and wind resistance—while reducing the use of precious natural resources. The use of GAF’s Dura Grip™ Adhesive means that each shingle is sealed tightly and there is a reduced risk of shingle blow-off. As with all GAF Lifetime Shingles, they pass ASTM’s two toughest wind tests, ASTM D3161 Class F 110 mph and ASTM D7158 Class H 150 mph, and carry GAF’s Lifetime limited warranty.
