| Two new Lifetime Shingles  GAF, North America’s roofing manufacturer, announced two new Lifetime Shingles: Grand Sequoia IR and Sienna. Grand Sequoia IR Shingles, a new addition to GAF's Specialty Shingles category, are a Class 4 impact-resistant version of GAF's popular Grand Sequoia Lifetime Designer Shingles. They feature oversized tabs and a rugged wood-shake look. This patented, extra-large design creates a dramatic look on virtually any home or property. They also offer a potential insurance savings of 5-30% or more to homeowners, as they pass UL 2218 Class 4 testing.Sienna Lifetime Designer Shingles introduce a unique diamond-shaped design with artisan-crafted shapes and a dimensional look that provides a refined beauty unmatched by typical shingles. Their rich appearance and clean lines add distinction to any home—at a fraction of the cost of traditional slate or wood shakes. Sienna Shingles offer Old World elegance and are available in four custom colors. As with all options in the Lifetime Designer Shingles Value Collection, Sienna is a luxurious and affordable alternative to standard architectural shingles. "By offering such an exclusive design, the Sienna Shingle is sure to make any house stand out and will certainly increase its curb appeal," stated Leslie Franklin, product manager at GAF. She continued, "Beyond just making a home look better, Sienna offers a Class A fire rating—the highest fire rating possible, making them a safer choice than wood shakes or some plastic or synthetic shingles. All of these benefits are offered at a truly affordable price." All of GAF's Lifetime Shingles incorporate GAF's proprietary Advanced Protection Technology, which results in shingles that offer improved performance—including superior durability and wind resistance—while reducing the use of precious natural resources. The use of GAF's Dura Grip Adhesive means that each shingle is sealed tightly and there is a reduced risk of shingle blow-off. As with all GAF Lifetime Shingles, they pass ASTM's two toughest wind tests—ASTM D3161 Class F 110 mph and ASTM D7158 Class H 150 mph—and carry GAF's Lifetime limited warranty. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
