What is a GAF Lifetime Roofing System?

A GAF Lifetime Roofing System is a comprehensive roofing solution offered by GAF, one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America. The system is designed to provide maximum durability, protection, and aesthetic appeal. It includes several components that work together to ensure the longevity and performance of the roof. Here's a breakdown of what typically constitutes a GAF Lifetime Roofing System:

Lifetime Shingles

These are high-quality shingles that come with a lifetime limited warranty. They are available in various styles and colors to suit different architectural preferences.

Roof Deck Protection

This layer, often made from synthetic materials, provides a secondary barrier against water and wind-driven rain, enhancing the overall protection of the roof.

Leak Barriers

Installed in vulnerable areas such as valleys and around roof penetrations, leak barriers prevent water from causing damage in these critical spots.

Starter Strip Shingles

These are installed along the roof edges to provide a secure foundation for the first row of shingles and help prevent shingle blow-off.

Cobra Attic Ventilation

Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy roof and attic space. GAF offers various ventilation solutions that help regulate attic temperature and moisture levels, prolonging the life of the roof.

Ridge Cap Shingles

Specially designed shingles that are installed along the roof's ridge to provide an attractive and durable finishing touch.

Lifetime Roofing System vs. Non-Lifetime Roofing System

Feature / Component GAF Lifetime Roofing System Non-Lifetime Roofing System
Shingles High-quality architectural shingles with various styles and colors Cheaper 3-tab shingles
Underlayment Synthetic roof deck protection providing a secondary barrier against water and wind-driven rain Felt underlayment, which is less durable and provides less protection
Leak Barriers Installed in vulnerable areas (e.g., valleys, around roof penetrations) to prevent water damage Often omitted or not used, leading to potential water damage in vulnerable areas
Starter Strip Shingles Secure foundation for the first row of shingles, helping to prevent shingle blow-off May not use starter strips, risking shingle blow-off
Attic Ventilation Cobra attic ventilation for regulating attic temperature and moisture, prolonging the life of the roof Aluminum ridge vents which are less effective than Cobra attic vents
Ridge Cap Shingles Specially designed shingles installed along the roof's ridge for an attractive and durable finish Standard shingles cut to fit the ridge, which may not provide the same durability
Warranty Lifetime limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the shingles, often transferable Pro-rated warranties with shorter coverage duration, often 20-30 years
