GAF and the Good Housekeeping Seal: What It Means for You

Asphalt shingles from GAF are known for their strength, longevity, wind resistance and fire resistance. In fact, the roofing product has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, meaning it was evaluated and approved by the scientists and engineers at Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI).

Here’s what this means for you as a homeowner.

Superior Performance
When you install a GAF Advanced Protection® Shingle, you are getting the most superior performance that modern manufacturing technology can deliver. These shingles undergo 185 individual tests for weather resistance, durability and longevity. Some asphalt shingle roofs have added impact features to significantly reduce the chances of leakage and water damage.

Increased Energy Savings
Using certain styles of asphalt shingles from GAF can help cut back your home’s cooling costs by up to 15%. When installed properly by a roofing contractor, these shingles reflect the sun’s harmful rays and minimize heat buildup in the attic – benefits that are particularly needed in warmer climates.

High-End Design
With GAF roofing, you can get the classic high-end appeal of more expensive slate shakes at a fraction of the cost without sacrificing the level of performance and effectiveness required against severe weather conditions. The manufacturer’s expertise in balancing reasonable costs and premium looks has been the biggest draw for many homeowners.

Total Versatility
GAF has nearly 50 products that are backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal. So, if you want to combat the scorching heat in the South or the freezing cold in the North, there will surely be a selection of roofing products that can meet your particular needs.
