How Do GAF Advanced Protection® Shingles Last so Long?

GAF has turned the art of manufacturing asphalt shingles into a science. Thanks to their Advanced Protection® Technology, their products have earned the reputation for outstanding toughness, wind-uplift endurance, flexibility and fire resistance.

As a Master Elite® residential roofing contractor, Dior Construction expounds on how GAF Advanced Protection products outlast old-fashioned shingles:

They Make 100% of Material Content Counts

GAF roofing materials feature a healthy combination of weight and performance. They don’t have any unnecessary content to artificially make them heavier; every material they contain offers added benefit.

Furthermore, they put a premium on thoughtful design. For instance, they utilize a proprietary orientation of glass fibers, eliminate needless limestone, and optimize the critical top layer. On the other hand, old-fashioned shingles are notorious for using superfluous fillers and having a lot of asphalt on non-weathering areas.

They Undergo Thousands of Quality Checks

GAF Advanced Protection products go through 4,375 quality checks. Such a meticulous process ensures every issue is spotted early and only defect-free ones make it out of the manufacturing facility. With flawless asphalt shingles installation, you can rest assured they will perform and last as advertised.

They Pass Torturous Shingle Performance Tests

GAF is confident that its products can stand up against the worst nature can throw at them. Using testing techniques similar to those used in America’s space program, they meet the requirements of AC438. It’s the first set of tests that use advanced science to predict shingle performance under long-term sun exposure, extreme temperatures and wind-driven rain.

Also, GAF products meet the industry’s toughest wind resistance tests: ASTM D3161, Class F (110 mph) and ASTM D7158, Class H (150 mph). In fact, any honest provider of residential roofing services would attest that it’s the first manufacturer whose shingles pass these rigorous tests.
