Enhanced Common Bond
Proprietary technology mechanically fuses the common bond between overlapping shingle layers.
DuraGrip™
Our legendary DuraGrip™ sealant pairs with the smooth microgranule surface of the StrikeZone™ nailing area for fast tack.
Accuracy
Up to 99% nailing accuracy
The StrikeZone™ nailing area is so easy to hit that a roofer placed 999 out of 1,000 nails correctly in our tests.**
Up to 600% larger nailing area
LayerLock™ Technology mechanically fuses the common bond between overlapping shingle layers. The added strength at the common bond powers the StrikeZone™ — the industry's widest nailing area.†
Clear Nailing Target
Nails can be placed anywhere in the StrikeZone™ Nailing Area — on or between the lines! Note: the first course of shingles installed should always be nailed on the lower nail zone line.‡
Speed
Up to 30% faster nail fastening
Thanks to the industry's largest nail zone.**
Time Motion Study
In an independent research study, Timberline® HDZ™ Shingles were fastened to the roof deck with 30% faster nail fastening* vs. our standard architectural shingles**
Secondary Fastening
All nails placed within the StrikeZone™ Nailing Area penetrate the shingle below for secondary fastening.
Alignment Guide
The top paint line of the StrikeZone™ Nailing Area acts as a visual indicator for faster shingle alignment with the previous course; the top line lines up with the top of the shingle below.
Windproven
No Max Wind Speed Limitation
When installed with the required combination of GAF Accessories, Shingles with LayerLock™ Technology are eligible for an industry first: a wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation!*
No Max Wind Speed Limitation
Then, an asphalt-to-asphalt monolithic bond cures for durability, strength, and exceptional wind uplift performance
