Original Press Release:
GAF Adds Two New Lifetime Shingles
A New Diamond-Shaped Designer Shingle and A New Impact-Resistant Shingle
Wayne, NJ — GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, proudly announces two new Lifetime Shingles: Grand Sequoia® IR and Sienna™.
Grand Sequoia® IR Shingles, a new addition to GAF’s Specialty Shingles category, are a Class 4 impact-resistant version of GAF’s popular Grand Sequoia® Lifetime Designer Shingles. They feature oversized tabs and a rugged wood-shake look. This patented, extra-large design creates a dramatic look on virtually any home or property. They also offer a potential insurance savings of 5-30% or more to homeowners, as they pass UL 2218 Class 4 testing.
Sienna™ Lifetime Designer Shingles introduce a unique diamond-shaped design with artisan-crafted shapes and a dimensional look that provides a refined beauty unmatched by typical shingles. Their rich appearance and clean lines add distinction to any home—at a fraction of the cost of traditional slate or wood shakes. Sienna™ Shingles offer Old World elegance and are available in four custom colors. As with all options in the Lifetime Designer Shingles Value Collection, Sienna™ is a luxurious and affordable alternative to standard architectural shingles.
“By offering such an exclusive design, the Sienna™ Shingle is sure to make any house stand out and will certainly increase its curb appeal,” stated Leslie Franklin, product manager at GAF. She continued, “Beyond just making a home look better, Sienna™ offers a Class A fire rating—the highest fire rating possible, making them a safer choice than wood shakes or some plastic or synthetic shingles. All of these benefits are offered at a truly affordable price.”
All of GAF’s Lifetime Shingles incorporate GAF’s proprietary Advanced Protection® Technology, which results in shingles that offer improved performance—including superior durability and wind resistance—while reducing the use of precious natural resources. The use of GAF’s Dura Grip™ Adhesive means that each shingle is sealed tightly and there is a reduced risk of shingle blow-off. As with all GAF Lifetime Shingles, they pass ASTM’s two toughest wind tests—ASTM D3161 Class F 110 mph and ASTM D7158 Class H 150 mph—and carry GAF’s Lifetime limited warranty.*
