GAF introduces Country Estates™ shingles, distributed nationally, and Grand Canyon™ shingles, sold west of the Mississippi.

GAF Materials Corp., Wayne, N.J., introduces Country Estates™ shingles, distributed nationally, and Grand Canyon™ shingles, sold west of the Mississippi. With the look of natural slate or stone, Country Estates shingles maintain the safety and performance of asphalt shingles. They also have a Micro Weave Core and Algae Eater™ Protection. Grand Canyon is a super heavyweight shingle that simulates the look of thick, rugged wood shake for the upscale home. It has triple self-seal protection, which allows it to pass the UL 110-mph laboratory wind test. Both shingles meet ASTM 3462; have UL Class A fire and wind rating; include DuraGrip® adhesive to decrease the risk of shingle blow off; and are backed by a lifetime limited transferable warranty with Smart Choice™ Protection (non-prorated material and labor coverage for the first 10 years).
