GAF Timberline® Shingles
Timberline® is GAF’s best-known architectural shingle family. Current Timberline choices include Timberline HDZ® for classic dimensional style, Timberline UHDZ® for a more pronounced premium appearance, Timberline HDZ® RS for homeowners interested in reflective roofing performance, and Timberline® NS for a subtler, more even-toned architectural look.
Timberline HDZ®
This extra-dimensional laminated fiberglass asphalt shingle features GAF®’s patented High Definition® color blends and an enhanced shadow effect for a dimensional wood-shake look. Each shadow band is applied using a sophisticated, computer-controlled “feathering” technique. When combined with the randomly blended top layer, the result is a shingle with exceptional depth and dimension. Colors: Barkwood, Charcoal, Hickory, Hunter Green, Mission Brown, Pewter Gray, Shakewood, Slate, and Weathered Wood. Additional California selections include Birchwood, Copper Canyon, Fox Hollow Gray, and Golden Amber. Bold Definition colors: Chestnut Valley, Cliffside, Midnight Mesa, and Sierra Sand. Color availability may vary.
Timberline UHDZ®
For homeowners looking for GAF’s premium Timberline shingle, Timberline UHDZ® combines an ultra-dimensional wood-shake appearance with exceptional depth and shadowing. GAF’s patented Dual Shadow Line creates two parallel shadow lines across the shingles, giving the roof a thicker, ultra-dimensional appearance.
Timberline UHDZ® also features UltraMat™ high-performance fiberglass mat technology, which is engineered into the shingle’s core. Timberline UHDZ® also has a UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistance rating. GAF’s Time-Release Algae-Fighting Technology provides a 30-year StainGuard Plus PRO™ Algae Protection Limited Warranty against blue-green algae discoloration on qualifying products. Colors: Weathered Wood, Charcoal, Pewter Gray, Barkwood, Slate, and Shakewood.
Timberline HDZ® RS Reflective Shingles
These reflective shingles combine the dimensional appearance of Timberline shingles with deep, rich color blends. GAF’s EcoDark® granule technology makes it possible to achieve vivid reflective colors while maintaining the architectural depth and curb appeal homeowners expect from Timberline shingles. Timberline HDZ® RS also features LayerLock® Technology and GAF’s Time-Release Algae-Fighting Technology with a 25-year StainGuard Plus™ Algae Protection Limited Warranty against blue-green algae discoloration on qualifying products. Colors: Charcoal, Hickory, Stone Gray, Sagewood, Aged Chestnut, Sandalwood, and Coastal Slate.
Timberline® NS
Timberline® NS shingles offer the stylish look of classic architectural shingles. GAF’s Natural Shadow® effect creates a subtle, even-toned appearance with the warmth and dimension of wood, providing an attractive wood-shake look without the stronger contrast of GAF’s High Definition® shadow bands. Colors: Barkwood, Weathered Wood, Charcoal, and Pewter Gray. Hickory, Shakewood, and Slate are available in select areas.
