GAF IR shingles meet the highest impact-resistance rating... The UL 2218 Impact Test was developed in conjunction with insurance industry leaders. It’s based on dropping a 2” steel ball from 20’ onto the top of a shingle to see whether the shingle cracks. GAF IR Shingles pass Class 4 (see illustration below)—the highest rating possible. Check with your insurance agent about potential savings on your homeowners insurance.

What you should also know about the UL 2218 impact test:• Forceful Impact... The test simulates hailstorms impacting a roof at a speed of over 70 mph! • Potential Leaks... Shingles that fail the impact test are more likely to allow water to leak into your home. • No warranty improvement... GAF’s warranty does not cover hail damage even for shingles that pass this test.

When combined with our randomly blended top layer, it results in a shingle with exceptional depth and dimension—and a striking look unmatched by any other brand.But don’t just take our word for it. See for yourself. When you compare Timberline® ArmorShield™ II Shingles to typical architectural shingles, it’s easy to see why they’ll look sharper and more beautiful on your roof—while enhancing the resale value of your home.
