Any roofing contractor will tell you that there’s an abundance of options when it comes to choosing your new roof. Indeed, there are numerous brands out there that offer a wide array of choices when it comes to roofing material, color, durability and longevity. But while these brands may be able to back up their claims, there is one tried and tested brand that you should consider: GAF and their Lifetime roofing system.
In this post, Wood’s Roofing discusses the six parts that make up a GAF Lifetime roofing system.
Leak Barriers – Water infiltration from wind-driven rain is one of the worst things that can happen to your roof. After all, it’s an avenue toward damage for the structure. Luckily, GAF’s Lifetime roofing system comes with a leak barrier that offers an extra layer of protection between the shingles and the roof deck to prevent any water damage such as rot from occurring on the roof.
Roof Deck Protection – Another component that offers a protective layer for your GAF Lifetime roofing system is the roof deck protection. You can choose Shingle-Mate® for extra fiberglass-reinforced protection that can prevent wind-driven rain from entering your home. Alternatively, you can also use VersaShield® to improve your roof’s fire-resistance.
Starter Strip Shingles – Protection from wind-driven rain isn’t the only advantage that this roof replacement option can bring you. The GAF Lifetime roofing system also comes with starter strip shingles that have a high-quality adhesive that can prevent shingle blow-off against strong winds.
Roofing Shingles – A roof isn’t a roof without its shingles and the GAF Lifetime roofing system comes with an abundance of shingle options for your consideration. Whether you choose GAF’s Designer roofing shingles or the Timberline® roofing shingles, your roof is guaranteed to have beauty, durability, affordability and energy efficiency.
Cobra Attic Ventilation – Ventilation is important for every roofing system in order to keep them in top shape and prevent damaging heat and moisture. GAF’s Lifetime roofing system easily solves this problem by installing exhaust ventilation that allows the hot, moist air to escape from your attic near the roof ridge. This promotes energy efficiency and allows you to save on your utility bills.
Hip and Ridge Cap Shingles – On the other hand, if you’re looking for beauty and multilayer protection, the GAF Lifetime roofing system can provide that for you. The Hip and Ridge Cap Shingles that accompany it accentuates your roof’s natural beauty and adds depth and dimension to the system.
