Dr. Roof has added GAF TimberSteel™ premium metal shingles to its repertoire—now available through their GAF Metal Certified installation team in Metro Atlanta and beyond. This isn't just a new product; it's a strategic enhancement of your roof’s durability, performance, and curb appeal.
Why TimberSteel Is a Game-Changer
1. Metal Strength Meets Shingle Style: TimberSteel is crafted from 24-gauge GALVALUME® steel and embossed with a vertical grain texture that mimics traditional shingles—eliminating the dreaded “oil canning” and ensuring a crisp, clean visual.
2. Top-Tier Durability: This product meets or exceeds tough industry standards
- UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance,
- ASTM D3161 Class F for wind,
- TAS‑100 for wind-driven rain, and
- UL 790 Class C fire rating, making it ideal for areas prone to hail, storms, or wildfires.
3. Longer Lifespan & Lower Maintenance: Unlike asphalt shingles (20–30 years lifespan), TimberSteel can endure 50+ years with minimal upkeep. Its robust metal understructure means fewer repairs over time.
4. Cost Performance: Although metal roofs typically cost more upfront, TimberSteel strikes a balance—it’s more affordable than standing-seam metal roofs and faster to install. The result? Lower labor costs and long-term savings through durability and energy efficiency.
5. Enhanced Warranties: Available with the ArmorPledge™ Limited Warranty (when installed by a GAF Metal Certified Contractor like Dr. Roof), TimberSteel offers:
- 30-year paint & fade protection,
- 15-year unlimited wind coverage,
15-year hail protection (roof-crafters.com, gaf.com).
6. Eco-Friendly Design: Steel is highly recyclable, and TimberSteel’s reflective surfaces can reduce heat absorption—meaning lower cooling costs and smaller environmental impact.
Compared to Asphalt Shingles: Why Choose TimberSteel
| Feature | Asphalt Shingles | GAF TimberSteel Metal Shingles |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Traditional look | Shingle-mimicking metal with modern grain texture |
