Shingles Engineered to Endure

How tough are GAF shingles? According to this recent extreme shingle testing demonstration, they’re tough enough to withstand hurricane-force-winds, more water than any rainstorm will hit them with, and a continuous blast of red hot embers. GAF Advanced Protection® Shingles with GAF Dura Grip™ Adhesive are engineered to endure. See for yourself!

No One Makes a Better Asphalt Shingle

When you install a GAF Advanced Protection® Shingle, you’re getting the very best combination of weight and performance that modern manufacturing technology can deliver. In fact, we perform 4,375 quality checks in the manufacture of our Advanced Protection® Shingles.

Shingle Quality on a Whole New Level

AC438 is the first set of tests for shingles that uses advanced science to predict long-term shingle performance in three critical areas:

  • Long-term durability: How your shingles perform after long-term exposure to the sun (the #1 enemy of your shingles).
  • Wind-driven rain performance: How your shingles will stand up to heavy, driving rains.
  • Long-term extreme-temperature resistance: How your shingles withstand extreme temperatures — like the cold of winter in Montana or the heat of summer in Arizona.

All GAF Shingles have passed the requirements of AC438. GAF was the first shingle manufacturer whose shingles passed these torturous tests. We think Mother Nature would be impressed!

What Does Advanced Protection® Shingle Technology Mean For Nature?

Everyone wants to do their part to be environmentally responsible. GAF Advanced Protection® Shingles:

  • Eliminate the unnecessary waste of natural resources, because they use less asphalt and limestone than conventional shingles
  • Reduce transportation waste, because they are weight-optimized to minimize fuel use
  • Result in less landfill waste, when the shingles are eventually replaced
  • Can be recycled to benefit the environment. That’s why GAF supports a recycling program that allows our contractors to recycle old shingles for reuse in roadways!
