What Are GAF Timberline UHDZ™ Shingles?
The Evolution of Timberline Shingles

Key Features of Timberline UHDZ™ Shingles

- 20% More Asphalt – This extra layer of asphalt provides superior impact resistance, durability, and longevity.
- Dual Shadow Line Technology – Adds depth and dimension, creating a rich, sophisticated look that enhances curb appeal.
- StainGuard Plus PRO™ Technology – Offers longer-lasting algae resistance, helping prevent black streaks and stains from forming on the roof.
- WindProven™ Warranty – Ensures unlimited wind protection when installed as part of a complete GAF roofing system.

Why New Jersey Homeowners Need a High-Performance Shingle
Weather Challenges in New Jersey
NJ’s diverse and often extreme weather conditions put significant stress on roofing materials. A weak or low-quality roof won’t last long in this environment.
Some of the biggest threats to NJ roofs include:
- Heavy Snow & Ice: Ice dams can form, causing water to back up under shingles and lead to leaks.
- High Winds & Nor’easters: Wind gusts can exceed 70 mph, lifting and tearing off weak shingles.
- Intense Sun & Heat: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause shingles to fade, crack, or deteriorate over time.
- Algae & Mold Growth: Humid summers create ideal conditions for algae, which leads to unsightly black streaks on roofs.
How Timberline UHDZ™ Addresses These Challenges
- Enhanced durability from its thicker asphalt content prevents cracking and premature wear.
- WindProven™ Warranty ensures your roof stays secure even in the strongest storms.
- StainGuard Plus PRO™ Technology prevents algae buildup, keeping your roof cleaner for longer.
- LayerLock® Technology makes shingles stronger and more resistant to peeling or lifting.
For NJ homeowners, a roofing system built for long-term performance isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.
