WE CONFESS: WE HAVE A HISTORY OF TORTURING OUR SHINGLES

Testing, Testing, Testing: Its Just Part Of Our DNA

AC438: Setting A New Standard In Shingle Testing

All GAF Shingles: Now Approved By Mother Nature!

The Bottom Line: Advanced Protection Technology For Your Home

Were Fanatical About Testing... And Delivering Advanced Protection For Your Home

Were 100% Committed To The Protection Of Your Most Valuable Asset

When you install a GAF Advanced Protection Shingle, youre getting the very best combination of weight and performance that modern technology and testing can deliver. In fact, we perform over 185 individual tests in the making of our Advanced Protection Shingles. The result? No one makes a better asphalt shingle for:

4 Toughness 4 Granule adhesion 4 Wind uplift resistance 4 Flexibility 4 Fire resistance

GAF is also the first manufacturer that can say all of its shingles pass the industrys two toughest wind-resistance tests: ASTM D3161, Class F (110 mph) and ASTM D7158, Class H (150 mph).*

Since wind from hurricanes and tornados causes more than $6 billion each year in property damage,** you need all the wind protection you can get.

And Now Weve Taken Shingle Quality To A Whole New Level: Introducing AC438

AC438 is the first set of tests for shingles that uses advanced science to predict long-term shingle performance in three critical areas:

Long-term durability: How your shingles perform after long-term exposure to the sun (the #1 enemy of your shingles).

Wind-driven rain performance: How your shingles will stand up to heavy, driving rains.

Long-term extreme-temperature resistance: How your shingles withstand extreme temperatureslike the cold of winter in Montana or the heat of summer in Arizona.

Were pleased to announce that all of GAFs shingles have passed the requirements of AC438. GAF is the first shingle manufacturer whose shingles pass these torturous tests. We think Mother Nature would be impressed!

Some people think that asphalt shingles are just a low-tech (albeit highly effective) roofing material. But now, GAF has turned the art of making roofing shingles into a science, with its Advanced Protection Shingles. Utilizing some of the most advanced design, manufacturing, and testing techniques available in any industry (including computer simulation technology originally developed for the Space Shuttle), the result is todays most advanced roofing technologynow available to consumers to protect their homes.

SHINGLESSHINGLES

GAF Advanced Protection Shingles Old-Fashioned Shingle Technology

Fiberglass Mat (the heart of the shingle)

Patented low-profile technology includes a proprietary orientation of glass fibers, for maximum strength and durability*

Typically requires the application of excess asphalt (weight) to meet minimum industry requirements

Asphalt (provides waterproofing performance)

Advanced process control allows us to optimize the critical top (i.e., weathering) layer for superior long-term performance against severe weather

Excess asphalt applied to bottom (i.e., non-weathering areas) increases shingle weight with no added benefit

Filler (mixed with the asphalt to bind components)

Premium limestone content optimized for maximum toughness and wind resistance

Unnecessary limestone eliminated

Unnecessary fillers used to artificially increase shingle weightwith no benefit in performance

Very excessive filler can even increase the risk of shingle cracking

Adhesive (seals shingles on roof)

Proprietary Dura Grip Adhesive locks shingles tightly in place

Allows every GAF shingle to pass the industrys two toughest wind tests (ASTM D3161, Class F, 110 mph and D7158, Class H, 150 mph)**

May not meet highest wind resistance tests (ASTM D3161, Class F, 110 mph and D7158, Class H, 150 mph)

What Does Advanced Protection Mean For Nature?

Everyone wants to do their part to be environmentally responsible. GAFs Advanced Protection Shingles:

Eliminate the unnecessary waste of natural resources, because they use less asphalt and limestone

Reduce transportation waste, because they are weight-optimized to minimize fuel use

Result in less landfill waste, when the shingles are eventually replaced

Can be recycled to benefit the environment. Used asphalt shingles have traditionally not been recycledtheyve just been thrown into landfills. Thats why GAF supports a new recycling programthat will allow our contractors to recycle old shingles for re-use in roadways!

IN November of 2007 BNW Builders achieved the status of Factory Certified Master Elite Weather Stopper Roofing Contractor from GAF - North Americas largest roofing manufacturer. This is a big deal in the roofing industry because less than 3% of roofing con-tractors in the U.S. have achieved this status; an elite level set by GAF to let the consumer know their home is in good hands. There are over 19,000 cities in the U.S. and roughly 880 Master Elite roofers.

In 2008, our first full year as Master Elite roofer, we earned the Training Excellence Award and

Installation Excellence Award.

BNW Builders has earned ALL three of the GAF Triple Excellence Awards every year since 2009.

The Awards are Consumer Protection, Training Excellence and Installation Excellence.

BNW Builders has made the GAF Presidents Club every year since its inception in 2012. In 2012,

Tips For Choosing Your Color

Expert Advice

A successful exterior design project depends on a tasteful color combination. Here are some simple suggestions for making the best shingle selection:

Observe how much of your roof is visible from the street or common view. A larger roof looks best in neutral tones. If the roof angle is normal or slight, you can use more colorful shingles or interesting patterns.

Use colors in the same color family as the body of your house for a simple, non-accented combination. An example is a gray roof on a gray house, whether light or dark gray. Trim in white or black will keep it understated.

Use bright or more colorful colors to make a design statement. For example, a green roof on a red brick house or a red roof on a gray house.

And remember, follow your instinct. Choose the color and style that make you comfortable. After all, youre the one looking at it every time you come home!

ideal shingle choice.

Weathered Wood is truly the perfect neutral color. Straddling the line between warm and cool tones, this shade complements a broad range of huesespecially clay, the current most popular color for home exteriors. Blending beautifully with nature, this color also works well paired with sage, cream, ivory, and all manner of beiges.

W e a t h e r e d W o o d

We love our roof! Our area receives quite a bit of wind, rain, and storms in the spring. It is wonderful to no longer be concerned with shingles flying off the house.

Tracy Christie, Bloomington, IN









Slate is a cool gray with a beautiful green undertoneexactly like real slate. This shade coordinates well with both grays and greens on the cool side as well as with white, cream, and ivory exteriors. A roof done in Slate will add a warm and inviting feel to any home.

S l a t e The High Definition Shingles really added to the look of the house. Knowing the product is backed by a company like GAF is comforting.

David Cusumano, Collegeville, PA







Barkwood is a popular neutral brown color that coordinates well with most other warm colors, such as beige, taupe, cream, gold, and yellow. Its nature-based tone emulates wood, fitting in well with natural surroundings. Youll love the way this color enhances the overall tones of your house.

B a r k w o o d

I absolutely love the look of my new roof and how it stands out among my neighbors. They have begun to follow my lead and now our little subdivision is being transformed.

Charcoal is the most neutral of all shades, making it versatile enough to use on your roof regardless of your homes style. This cool-toned color works wonderfully with home exteriors that feature blues, grays, or whites; youll also find it paired with yellow, gold, sage, or green.

I am the toughest customer you will ever find anywhere. Outstanding is an understatement.

Hickory is an inviting brown shade that has the added element of a red undertone, giving it a rich look. Its an excellent companion to both brick and stone homes that have shades of red or terra cotta. Youll also love how this color looks on homes with warm neutrals of brown and beige as well as with yellows and golds.
