GAF Has the Good Housekeeping Seal: Why It Matters

GAF asphalt shingles are well-known for their durability, strength, wind resistance and fire resistance. Due to their excellent performance in regard to these aspects, these roofing products have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal. Receiving the GH Seal means that a product has been evaluated and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute’s scientists and engineers.

As a homeowner, you should consider this information when choosing a roofing product for your home. Homecraft® Inc. further explains in this article.

Superior Performance

When you install a GAF Advanced Protection® Shingle, you are getting the best performance that modern manufacturing technology has to offer. These shingles passed 185 separate tests for weather resistance, durability and longevity. Some GAF asphalt shingles also have impact features that significantly reduce leakage and water damage.

Energy Savings

Certain styles of GAF asphalt shingles can help reduce your home’s cooling costs by up to 15%. When properly installed by a roofing contractor, these shingles can reflect the sun’s harmful rays and reduce heat buildup in the attic — benefits that are especially important in warmer climates.

Sophisticated Design

GAF roofing provides the classic high-end appeal of slate shakes at a fraction of the cost while maintaining the level of performance and effectiveness required against severe weather conditions. For many homeowners, the manufacturer’s expertise in balancing reasonable costs and premium looks is a major consideration.

Versatility

Nearly 50 GAF products have the Good Housekeeping Seal. So, whether you live in a warm climate or a cold climate, there is a Good Housekeeping-approved GAF roofing system for your home.
