Selling Shingles on Beauty and Performance

Installation confidence for your crew, color options, and warranty benefits for your customers

A residential roof with GAF Timberline shingles in Chestnut
GAF
March 2, 2026

When it comes to residential roofing, the balance between curb appeal and durability is a concern for most homeowners. GAF Timberline HDZ® shingles represent a legacy of relentless innovation, delivering the peak performance and dependability customers trust. One trusted brand appeals to even more homeowners now by offering two distinct color collections (US Only) to complement any home.

For those who prefer the classic Timberline® look, the High Definition® colors use patented shadow bands to create exceptional depth and dimension. However, for homeowners looking to make a bolder statement, GAF now offers the Bold Definition collection. These shingles are bursting with rich tones and striking contrasts, curated to deliver distinct looks that stay in style. Inspired by current shingle trends, this collection features four new vibrant colors:


  • Chestnut Valley
  • Cliffside
  • Midnight Mesa
  • Sierra Sand


Customers can select from these two color collections, in a wide variety of shades, to complement their home and curb appeal. Plus, with more than just aesthetics, Timberline HDZ® shingles offer your customers peace of mind with industry-first technologies and powerful warranties.


  • Engineered for the best installation: Timberline HDZ® shingles lock in confidence with Layerlock® Technology — proprietary GAF technology that mechanically fuses the common bond between overlapping layers of a shingle. The added strength at the common bond powers our StrikeZone® Nailing Area — the industry’s widest nailing area. Featuring a smooth microgranule surface, the StrikeZone® nailing area pairs with Dura Grip™ Adhesive to create a strong protective bond that helps reduce the risk of shingle blow-offs.
  • Infinite wind speed protection: An industry-first wind warranty with no wind speed limit,1 Timberline HDZ® shingles are eligible for the WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty when installed with four required GAF accessories — no GAF certification required.
  • 25-year advanced algae protection: Powered by industry-first time-release algae-fighting technology, Timberline HDZ® shingles offer a 25-year StainGuard Plus™ Limited Warranty2 against blue-green algae discoloration.
  • Strong impact-resistance rating:Timberline HDZ® shingles pass the UL 2218 Impact-Resistance Test with a Class 3 rating,3 and may qualify for insurance discounts.4


For roofing professionals, offering Timberline HDZ® shingles is about more than just a sale; it is about gaining the trust your business deserves. By providing a blend of versatile aesthetics and powerful warranties, you offer customers both style and peace of mind. As the industry continues to evolve, building your business with Timberline HDZ® shingles.


¹ 15-year WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty covers GAF shingles with LayerLock® Technology only and requires the use of GAF starter strips, roof deck protection, ridge cap shingles, and leak barrier or attic ventilation. See GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions. Visit gaf.com/LRS for qualifying GAF products. For installations not eligible for the WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty, see GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
