GAF roofing shingles has made a name for itself over the last 130 years. Their shingles have become almost synonymous with roofing in general. They do this by being able to offer products that people want, with services that people need. With a wide range of shingle options each with its own specialties each home and style is surely covered.

Types of shingles:
GAF offers at least four categories of major product. The first of which, by far being the most popular is Timberline. Timberline has been rated at the number one selling shingle in North America. They hold this title by offering a wide variety of colors to match nearly any home. The sturdy composition is backed by its lifetime warranty which leave the customers feeling secure. This warranty is able to be offered because the shingles are created to withstand the various harsh elements; rain, snow or shine.
The designer shingle was created to offer a higher-end product. These also come in a variety of colors but what makes these stand out is the detail that goes into them. They a textured look option, that can make the roof appear to be 3D that adds a pleasant aesthetic. The other designer shingles can mimic European style roofs, in appearance and color. One of the popular ones is the European clay tile look alike but at a fraction of the cost.
The specialist roofing shingles are attractive to certain homeowners. These shingles have been design in such a way that they each have a unique feature for a certain need. One of them, the Cool Series reflects lite to reduce heat in the attic and house. Others like the ArmorShield 1 and 2 are built to withstand high impacts from debris in the air. This can be especially useful in places on the coast where hurricanes are a concern. Some homeowner’s insurance even offer discounts with these shingles because the protection is so strong.
Their final popular shingle is the three-tab shingle. This is the traditional single we all know with durability and style that GAF home exteriors are known for. This shingle being the most economical can protect the home, and increase the value of the home with its attractive appearance.

Conclusion:
GAF shingles are seem to be the perfect fit for the average homeowner who wants a sloped roof. After-all, everyone wants that extra attic space a sloped exterior gives them. Not to mention the fact that sloped shingle exteriors are beautiful in appearance. So even though flat-roofing is usually more rugged than shingles we see it’s still not the best route for the average homeowner.
