Get potential insurance savings and maximum protection for your
GAF offers two great ImpactResistant Shingles: Timberline®
ArmorShield™ II and Grand
Sequoia® IR. They provide the
best combination of protection,
beauty, and potential insurance
savings for your home.
Made with our proprietary SBS
modified asphalt formulation, our
IR shingles pass the industry’s
toughest impact-resistance test:
UL 2218 Class 4. They also offer:
Potential Insurance Savings... The
shingles in this catalog pass the UL 2218
Class 4 Impact Test, and may qualify
for insurance discounts of 5–30% or more
(check with your insurance agent). Each
shingle is labeled with special information
needed to qualify for premium discounts
according to the requirements of the Texas
Department of Insurance—a standard that
most hail insurers accept.
Superior Wind Performance... Meet
Class F wind rating from Underwriters
Laboratories—the highest rating possible.
Dura Grip™ Adhesive seals each shingle
tightly and reduces the risk of shingle blowoff. Shingles warranted to withstand maximum wind gusts of up to 130 mph!*
Impact Resistant... Pass UL 2218 Class 4,
UL’s toughest impact test (shingles show no
evidence of cracks or ruptures on front or
back of shingle immediately after impact).
Compare to “standard” shingles, which
may have ruptures or cracks visible on the
front or back of the shingle immediately
after large hail impact.
Exceptional Protection... Design includes
an SBS modified asphalt formula for
rubber-like flexibility and maximum
impact resistance.
High Performance... Designed with
Advanced Protection® Technology, which
minimizes the use of natural resources
while providing superior protection (visit
www.gaf.com/aps to learn more).
Safer... Class A fire rating from

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.
UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Test
RESULTS ON A STANDARD
SHINGLE... it often has ruptures or
cracks visible on the front or back of
shingle immediately after impact
RESULTS ON A CLASS 4
IMPACT-RESISTANT SHINGLE...
no evidence of tears, cracks, or ruptures on
front or back of shingle after impact
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.­­­
*This wind coverage requires special installation; see GAF Shingle & Accessory Ltd. Warranty for details.
**See GAF Shingle & Accessory Ltd. Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions. The word “Lifetime” means as long as the original individual owner(s)
of a single family detached residence [or the second owner(s) in certain circumstances] owns the property where the shingles and accessories are installed.
For owners/structures not meeting above criteria, Lifetime coverage is not applicable. Lifetime ltd. warranty on accessories requires the use of at least three
qualifying GAF accessories and the use of Lifetime Shingles.

Timberline ArmorShield™ II Shingles
offer extra protection with the beauty
of Timberline —all in one shingle!
®
®
Timberline® ArmorShield™ II Impact-Resistant Shingles combine the beauty of
Timberline® (North America’s #1- selling shingle) with UL 2218 Class 4 Impact
Resistance. Their beauty is unlike any others, thanks to our patented High
Definition® shadow bands (U.S. Patent No. 5,666,776). Each shadow band
is applied using a sophisticated, computer-controlled “feathering” technique.
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.
Barkwood
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.
