GAF Roofing Options: Timberline® HDZ® & UHDZ™ Shingles
Whether you’re building a new home or replacing an aging roof, GAF’s Timberline® series offers premium protection and striking design.
Timberline® HDZ® Shingles
GAF Timberline® HDZ® shingles are the most popular architectural shingles in America—and for good reason. They have a LayerLock® Technology meaning not only are these shingles attached with a high-powered adhesive, but they also are mechanically attached by design. These shingles also have a WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty that has no maximum wind speed when installed with GAF’s 4-part system. These shingles are designed to have advanced algae protection and come in a variety of colors to complement any home style. These shingles are ideal for Knoxville’s mixed climate, offering long-lasting protection without sacrificing beauty.
Timberline® UHDZ™ (Ultra High Definition) Shingles
If you want an elevated, ultra-premium look, Timberline® UHDZ™ shingles are 20% thicker than HDZ® for added durability and shadow definition. They have an advanced level of algae resistance, and offer a bold, dimensional appearance. These shingles are eligible for GAF’s 30-year workmanship coverage when installed by a Master Elite® contractor like Innovative Roofing! UHDZ™ shingles are perfect for homeowners seeking standout curb appeal and next-level protection.
