Advanced Shingle Protection

GAF-Elk Introduces 
Advanced Protection Shingles

When you install a GAF-Elk Advanced Protection Shingle, you’re getting the very best combination of weight and performance that modern manufacturing technology can deliver. In fact, no one makes a better asphalt shingle for:

    • Toughness
    • Granule adhesion
    • Wind resistance
    • Flexibility
    • Fire resistance

Our revolutionary low-profile Micro Weave® Core (which is the heart of the shingle) is exclusive to GAF-Elk. It allows us to eliminate excess filler weight while leaving 100% of the protective asphalt in—especially where it counts: on the weathering (top) layer of the shingle. The result is a slightly lower weight shingle with advanced protection.

Our long history of innovation since 1886 is just one reason why we’re now North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. For example, we believe that we are the only shingle manufacturer who's shingles pass both of two toughest wind tests in the industry!* It's also why GAF-Elk is the best and safest choice for protecting your most valuable asset—your home.

 

 

*For your protection, all GAF-Elk shingles produced starting 1/1/10 meet ASTM D3161 Class F (110 mph) and ASTM D7158 Class H (150 mph) wind tests .A review of available competititve information suggests that we may be the only manufacturer 100% of whose shingles have passed these critical tests. Why accept anything less for your home?

  GAF-Elk Advanced Protection Shingles Old-Fashioned Technology
Fiberglass Mat 
(“heart” of the shingle)
• Patented technology provides maximum strength and durability, exceeding industry standards
• Typically requires excess asphalt 
(in the non-weathering areas) to 
meet minimum ASTM requirements
Asphalt 
(provides 
waterproofing performance)
• SpecSelect asphalt blend exceeds typical ASTM requirements
• Advanced process control maximizes weathering layer for
superior long-term performance against severe weather
• Requires excess asphalt to be 
applied to non-weathering areas
• Excess asphalt increases shingle weight with no added benefit
Filler 
(binds
components)
• Filler (premium limestone) content 
optimized for required binding integrity
• Excess, unnecessary filler (which can promote cracking) removed

 
• Unnecessary filler used to artificially increase shingle weight—with no benefit in performance
• If very excessive, can even increase the risk of shingle cracking

 

Advanced Protection For The Environment

Advanced Protection For Your Roofing Installer

Everyone wants to do their part to be environmentally responsible. Advanced Protection Shingles:

  • Eliminate the unnecessary waste of natural resources, because they use less asphalt and natural limestone.
     
  • Reduce transportation waste, because they are weight-optimized to use less fuel to transport, while reducing wear-and-tear on transportation equipment.
     
  • Result in less landfill waste, when your shingles are eventually replaced.

The health of a roofing contractor’s business depends on the health of their people. GAF-Elk’s Advanced Protection Shingles will help to:

  • Reduce the chance of injury, because removing unnecessary weight puts less strain on installers and improves productivity
     
  • Reduce workers’ compensation claims for back injuries—one of the biggest claim areas 
     
  • Improve job satisfaction, due to less wear-and-tear on installers
