  • WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty: When installed with the required combination of GAF Accessories, Timberline HDZ® Shingles are eligible for an industry first: a wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation1
  • LayerLock® Technology: Proprietary technology mechanically fuses the common bond between overlapping shingle layers
  • Up to 99.9% nailing accuracy: The StrikeZone® nailing area is so easy to hit that a roofer placed 999 out of 1,000 nails correctly in our test2
  • Stays In Place: Our legendary Dura Grip™ sealant pairs with the smooth microgranule surface of the StrikeZone® nailing area for fast tack. Then, an asphalt-to asphalt monolithic bond cures for durability, strength, and exceptional wind uplift performance
  • Highest Roofing Fire Rating:  UL Class A, listed to ANSI/UL 790
  • Peace Of Mind:  Lifetime limited transferable warranty with Smart Choice® Protection (non-prorated material and installation labor coverage) for the first ten years.3 A cool roof from GAF helps minimize solar heat gain by reflecting incoming sun rays and re-emitting the absorbed energy — thereby reducing the heat going into the house and in the attic. This may translate into savings on air-conditioning bills4
