WAYNE, N.J. - According
to research conducted by a renowned third party market research firm on behalf
of GAF Materials Corporation, GAF-Elk Timberline Architectural
Shingles were rated highest in quality among contractors, and were perceived to
be the most improved in quality above ten competing brands.
Survey respondents included 150 contractors who had
completed a minimum of 50 roof jobs in the past year. Asked to rate the quality
of eleven shingle brands from one to five, with five representing “Excellent,”
GAF-Elk Timberline Architectural Shingles were ranked number one for both
overall quality and most improved shingle over a two year period. In fact, for
overall quality, Timberline shingles got more top ratings than any
other shingle.
“Obviously, we are thrilled to learn that contractors – one of the most
essential constituency groups contributing to GAF’s success – find our shingles
to be the highest in quality,” stated Paul Bromfield, Vice President of
Marketing at GAF. “I am especially pleased that Timberline quality is viewed as
most improved in the past two years, confirming the success of our
recently-implemented Advanced Protection technology. We seek to make
the highest-quality, longest-lasting shingles and will continue our focus on
innovation.”
All of GAF-Elk’s asphalt shingle products are created using its
proprietary Advanced Protection technology, reducing unnecessary
filler while improving the performance of the shingles. Through this technology,
these shingles all pass ASTM’s two toughest wind tests: ASTM D3161 Class F 110
mph and ASTM D7158 Class H 150 mph. Their slightly reduced weight also lessens
the impact on natural resources used to create the shingles.
