PARSIPPANY, N.J. — GAF announced the reengineering and relaunch of Timberline® UHD — Ultra High Definition — shingles as Timberline UHDZ™ shingles. In addition to GAF’s patent-pending Dual Shadow Line, which creates sunset shadows all day long, all Timberline UHDZ shingles now include features seen in Timberline HDZ™, like the innovative LayerLock™ technology and StrikeZone® nailing area, making them easier and faster to install.

This new premium laminate shingle is a combination of beauty and benefits that go beyond any GAF shingle to date, offering: 

  • A thicker, and about 20% heavier, design compared to Timberline HDZ™ shingles
  • Ten percent more Time-Release Algae-Fighting technology than GAF’s best-selling shingles, for even more algae-fighting power
  • A new 30-Year StainGuard Plus PRO™ Algae Protection Limited Warranty against blue-green algae discoloration
  • A variety of color options to enhance the aesthetics of any home including Charcoal, Weathered Wood, Pewter Gray, Barkwood, Slate, and Shakewood

“We pride ourselves on offering innovative and stylish products that will protect what matters most to homeowners,” said David Ellis, GAF vice president of residential marketing. "Timberline UHDZ provides a combination of industry-leading benefits that go beyond any shingle GAF has offered to date with unmatched premium styling.”

According to GAF, Timberline UHDZ shingles are eligible for the WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty when installed with the required combination of four qualifying GAF accessories.

GAF Master Elite® contractors can also offer a 30 years of workmanship coverage when they install a qualifying GAF roofing system with Timberline UHDZ shingles and register a Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty on single family properties.

GAF Timberline UHDZ shingles will be on display for a national audience for the first time at the 2023 International Roofing Expo from March 7-9 in Dallas. Conference attendees can visit GAF at booth #3301, or go online at gaf.com/UHDZ to learn more.
