We believe our customers deserve no less. In today\u2019s post, we\u2019ll take a look at what GAF\u2019s asphalt shingles with Advanced Protection Technology can offer homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Durability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Durability should always be a top consideration when choosing a roofing system. GAF products offer a level of durability that is unmatched by other manufacturers, thanks to Advanced Protection Technology. That\u2019s why GAF has remained the most trusted name in roofing for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Granule Adhesion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Granules help protect your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasroofing.net\/roofing\/gaf-master-elite\/\">roofing<\/a> shingles from the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays. As such, they\u2019re a vital component of your roofing system. Excessive loss of shingle granules is one of the foremost reasons to replace your roof. GAF\u2019s asphalt shingles feature superior granule adhesion for longer and more thorough UV protection.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"342\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasroofing.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasroofing.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image.png 342w, https:\/\/thomasroofing.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-300x219.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wind Uplift Resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High winds can wreak havoc on roofing systems by tearing off shingles. Thanks to GAF\u2019s Advanced Protection Technology, their asphalt shingles can withstand winds of up to 150 mph, as proven by remarkable results when subjected to the industry\u2019s toughest tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flexibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexible roofing systems are easier to install. In addition, they have better resistance against impact damage. GAF asphalt shingles are extremely flexible and easy to install, making them a superior option for homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fire Resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GAF has taken shingle quality to a whole new level by fortifying their products with extreme temperature resistance. In the event of a fire, homes with GAF shingles will be much better protected than homes without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thomas Roofing Company, Inc. is the area\u2019s premier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasroofing.net\/about-us\/\">roofing company<\/a> for high-quality asphalt shingles.
