Leading the Roofing Industry Forward

By Jim Schnepper, President, GAF.

A letter to the roofing industry from GAF President Jim Schnepper on how the company is advancing technology to make better-performing products.

Roofing industry colleagues,

The International Roofing Expo marks an exciting time for our industry every year, showcasing the latest innovation and issues affecting the roofing community.

Your commitment and passion for protecting the places where we live and work was remarkable in Dallas, challenging manufacturers like GAF to provide high-quality products and services that people can rely on.

You asked.
GAF Timberline HDZ shingles are the answer.

GAF has changed the game with Timberline HDZ and its LayerLock technology, the most significant technological advance in laminate roofing shingles in over 50 years - mechanically fusing the common bond together.

By delivering the widest-ever StrikeZone nail area, Timberline HDZ is faster and easier to install, creating a strong, fast-tack seal. So strong that we’ve introduced the industry’s first wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limit.

This isn’t some marketing gimmick or benchtop product demo. This is patented technology that’s been internally tested in 150-mph winds and delivers high-level rooftop performance.

It’s what you have come to expect from North America’s largest roofing manufacturer.

But at GAF, we aren’t just the biggest. We aspire to be the best. To offer the best products, provide the best experience and empower our partners with tools and programs to grow their businesses and make a difference in their communities.

To protect what matters most.

We believe that leading the industry through innovation, together with partners like you, will make us both successful. Timberline HDZ is just the beginning.
