🏠 The Toughest Shingle GAF Makes Is Here
Every storm that rolls through leaves homeowners staring at the ceiling wondering what just happened up there. GAF's newest shingle was built for exactly that worry.
Meet GAF Timberline UHDZ® with UltraMat™ Technology. Here's what makes it different. 👇
🛡️ Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating there is
These shingles passed the UL 2218 test, which means a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet, twice, with no cracking. That is the toughest impact standard in the industry.
💪 The strength is in the core
UltraMat™ is a heavier, thicker, more durable fiberglass mat engineered specifically for impact. It is not a surface coating. The durability is built into the shingle itself.
🏠 It looks as good as it performs
A patented Dual Shadow Line design gives you an ultra-high-definition, wood-shake look, available in six colors: Pewter Gray, Charcoal, Slate, Barkwood, Shakewood, and Weathered Wood.
📜 Warranty coverage that backs it up
WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation, when installed with the required GAF accessories
StainGuard Plus PRO™ 30-year limited warranty against blue-green algae streaking
Lifetime Limited Warranty on manufacturing defects for original owners of single-family homes
🔺 Protection where roofs fail first
TimberTex® Premium Ridge Cap Shingles now use the same UltraMat™ technology, so your hips and ridges get matching Class 4 protection. Those are the spots that take the worst of a storm.
✅ Installation is what makes it all work
A great shingle installed poorly is still a bad roof. As a GAF-certified contractor, we install the full system the way GAF specifies, which is what keeps your warranty coverage intact and your home protected for the long haul.
