GAF Shingles, Roofing Products Memphis

GAF Shingles

Asphalt shingle roofs are the most popular type of roof in North America. If you have decided that you would like to replace your current roof with a shingle roof, then the next step is to pick out the brand of shingles you would like. Here at Roof MD, we can install any type of shingle product, but we often recommend GAF shingles. More than 90 million Americans have a GAF roof, with good reason. GAF shingles are known to adhere to the highest standards of quality and to withstand the elements well. For more than a century, the GAF name has been synonymous with high-performance, award-winning residential and commercial roofing products.

GAF Advanced Protection Shingles

There is a good reason why one in four residential homes in the U.S. has a GAF roof. These shingles are workhorses that are built to last. GAF’s Advanced Protection Shingles pass an incredible 4,375 quality checks before they are allowed to enter the marketplace. This high-tech shingle passes the two toughest wind resistance tests in the roofing industry: ASTM D3161, Class F, 110 mph, and ASTM D7158, Class H, 150 mph. Plus, GAF Advanced Protection Shingles demonstrate superior fire resistance, wind uplift resistance, toughness, and flexibility.

The Anatomy of a GAF Shingle

To understand what makes a GAF shingle different from its competitors, it’s necessary to take a closer look at its construction. One of the layers in an asphalt shingle is the fiberglass mat. A typical, non-GAF shingle may simply add on more asphalt in order to meet the industry’s weight requirements. In contrast, GAF Advanced Protection Shingles use low-profile technology with a proprietary orientation of glass fibers. This gives the shingle optimum strength and durability. Another layer to take a look at is the filler. Filler materials are mixed with asphalt in order to bind the components together. In a typical shingle made by a competitor, you will find filler ingredients that do not necessarily enhance performance. In a GAF Advanced Protection Shingle, you will find premium limestone filler that gives the shingle even better protection against the elements.
