* Based on a 2010 survey conducted by an independent research firm

Some people think all 3-tab shingles look pretty much alike. Not so! At GAF, we’ve gone to great pains to make Royal Sovereign® the most beautiful strip shingle you can install.

But don’t just take our word for it. GAF asked an independent research firm to survey homeowners about whose 3-tab shingles they preferred. The result: More homeowners preferred the look of Royal Sovereign® Shingles to the other leading brands!* And the #1 reason cited by homeowners? Royal Sovereign’s color blends.
