For a roofing contractor in Vancouver, a roof can be defined by its durability, by its strength. In this regard, GAF has proven itself and its products to be superior.
Timberline Ultra HD® Lifetime High Definition® Shingles, despite being known for their architectural benefits, are also durable; they are 53% thicker than your usual shingles.
GAF’s products, such as the Timberline® ArmorShield™ II Shingles, have been assessed for impact – and they were able to pass Underwriters Laboratories’ Class 4 impact test. Passing this level of impact testing proves that a specific class of shingles is able to resist the impact such as hail, bearing no major damage whatsoever like cracks or ruptures on both sides.
GAF shingles are also able to pass Underwriters Laboratories’ Class F wind tests. This means shingles are able to resist winds up to 130 miles per hour. Passing this test proves that GAF shingles are capable of staying in place, thus reducing the risk of shingles being blown off the roof.
Meanwhile Marquis® WeatherMax® 3-Tab Shingles are especially made to withstand all kinds of extreme weather conditions – as they are able to pass ASTM’s 110 mph and 150 mph wind tests. You also need specifically designed shingles like these to protect your home against the harsher forces of nature.
Aside from impact and wind tests, GAF Shingles are also tested by Underwriters Laboratories for fire resistance – and this means that they are able to contain a fire within a house, reducing the risk of it getting larger or transferring to nearby establishments.
