GAF Designer Shingles are for discerning homeowners who want to elevate their home by going beyond standard roofing options. These are luxury shingles that don't just protect your home—they also deliver a designer roof statement.
Winter doesn't bring an end to the roofing season. Cool weather roofing is often necessitated by emergency roof repairs, and new home builders may not want to wait until spring. When you're tasked with roofing in the winter, understanding the risks that come with installing shingles in cool weather and being prepared to overcome those challenges can help you achieve success with winter roof installations. Read on to learn best practices and expert tips to achieve a long-lasting GAF roof installation when roofing in cool weather.
GAF is leading the way in delivering solutions that help contractors save time and labor. Our latest innovation is the industry-first Everguard® TPO Primerless Cover Tape, a six-inch tape for stripping in edge metal that, just as its name implies, doesn't require the use of primer. This factory-built primerless cover tape consists of a non-reinforced TPO membrane that's backed with a butyl tape adhesive. It ensures that contractors achieve the highest quality installation with a uniform appearance and reduces the risk of leaks and callbacks.
Single-ply roof membranes are a common choice for commercial low-slope roofing projects due to its durability, reflectivity, and ease of installation. The membrane is the top of a multi-layer assembly designed to help protect the building from the exterior elements. The layers of a roof assembly must all work together with two main goals: help keep the interior separate from the exterior (i.e. block the movement of water, air and heat between inside and out) and stay in place through expected weather conditions.
The roofing industry needs skilled workers. To both address the skilled labor shortage and support the troops at the same time, GAF Roofing Academy offers free training to military veterans, helping provide vets with meaningful careers after service.
