New, innovative technology has made roof installation easier and more efficient for roofing contractors while benefiting homeowners who want more from their investment. Timberline HDZ Shingles with LayerLock technology, manufactured by GAF, offer better nailing accuracy during installation and more durability to withstand harsh weather conditions. Read on to learn more about how this patented technology is taking over the roofing industry.

How LayerLock Technology Benefits Roofs

Faster & More Accurate Installation

Poor shingle installation is a common cause of future roof repairs, but Timberline Shingles with LayerLock technology offer roofers 99.9% nailing accuracy. This is possible because the shingles feature a StrikeZone nailing area that is up to 600% larger than any other shingle. Tests have also shown up to 30% quicker nail fastening during installation due to the larger nail zone.

Ensured Durability

These shingles will be incredibly secure and durable, thanks to dual-phase shingle-to-shingle seal with GAF's Dura Grip sealant, their StrikeZone nailing areas, and an asphalt-to-asphalt bond. Overlapping shingles reinforce each other through the LayerLock technology to ensure your roof’s protection.

An Industry-First Wind Warranty

Every roofing contractor knows shingles are vulnerable to damage from hail and powerful winds. Timberline shingles with LayerLock technology installed with the required GAF accessories qualify for a wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation. These shingles are attached to your roofline secure enough to withstand winds up to 130 mph.

Timberline HDZ shingles with LayerLock technology will be unveiled in February at the 2020 International Roofing Expo. Those in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area can purchase them through Lion Construction Group in Hurst, TX.
