Choose Your Level of Protection

GAF offers three distinct levels of shingle quality and protection, plus a remarkably affordable slate shingle option. We’ll help you select the one that is right for your home’s design and location.

Which Shingle Style is Right for You?
Victorian
Victorian style homes’ ornate designs and bold color choices are most complementary with the Slate shingle family. Regarding color, a bolder color palette such as red, green, or blended grays provides a strong contrast to the rest of the home’s color scheme and architecture. More specifically, the following shingles are recommended for a Victorian style home:

• Country Mansion
  Scalloped style tab shape will complement the ornate
  style of the Victorian architecture.
• Grand Slate
  Slate look has clean lines that will provide some contrast
  to the detailed portfolio of the Victorian Design.
• Slateline
  Similar to Grand Slate, Slateline will also
  provide a clean, simple slate look that will help accent
  the ornate Victorian facade.

Georgian
Georgian style homes are complimented best with the slate shingle family. The classical architectural lines, stately columns, and grandiose style match the classic lines and color families of the slate family. Typically, a more muted grey or black design matches the red brick fronts and classic designs of the Georgian style home.

• Camelot
  Its genuine slate appearance and ultra dimensionality will
  give a classic look to a Georgian style home.
• Country Mansion
  Artfully sculpted tabs with a tone-on-tone design creates dimensionality, yet maintains the integrity of the rest of the architecture on the roof.
• Grand Slate
  Simple and classic design is a strong fit for
  Georgian architecture.
• Slateline
  Similar to Grand Slate, the design is streamlined and
  basic, yet has dimensionality

Colonial
Colonial style homes have very square and typically more symmetrical look to them. This style is prevalent in the Northeast and Central areas, although it can be found anywhere in North America. Similar to Georgian style homes, the slate-look family of shingles is the best fit for this style (and is an indigenous roofing material that can be found in the Central and Northeast regions where Colonial architecture is very popular). Darker colors, such as grays and blacks with hints of red, blue, or other accents are a great fit for this type of home.

• Grand Slate
  Slate look provides a nice accent to a colonial style home,
  especially because slate is indigenous to the northern areas.
• Slateline
  Similarly, this is a slate look at a very affordable price;
  clean design emulates the look of slate at a fraction of the cost.
• Camelot…
  Designer slate look creates dimensionality and a refined look on the roof, while still maintaining the integrity of the overall building architecture.
• Camelot II
  An affordable luxury option- same great design as Camelot!
• Capstone
  Random tab designer will look like a natural shake
  look (without the typical timberline route)

Tudor
Tudor style homes, with their steep pitched roofs, are great for showing off an elegant roof style. They are typically found in the Northeast and Central areas and have muted tones on the front facade accented with brown or grey cross-gables. When choosing your roof color, think about warm grays and browns that will compliment the rest of the house.

• Slateline
  Tudor style steeply pitched roof will give you the opportunity to make the roof a major part of the curb-appeal of the home; slate or another premium designer shingle is an ideal fit because of this.
• Camelot
  This universal design can work well with this distinct architectural style. The classic slate lines in a warm color palette fit nicely with Tudor style homes.

Craftsman and Western Craftsman
Arguably one of the most popular architecture styles in the Western part of the United States, the craftsman style looks great with wood-shake look shingles. Because of the style of these homes, the earth tones are a great match from a color perspective such as grays, greens, and lighter browns:

• Timberline Shingles
  Popular wood-shake look will match well with the architectural style of the craftsman house; with a neutral color pallet of browns, blacks, and grays, this shingle will have a lot of different color choices that will work well with this style home.
• Grand Sequoia
  This western style, dimensional shingle will add character to the Craftsman style home. Again, the portfolio of colors available for this product will look great with the Craftsman style home.
• Grand Canyon
  This is the premium wood-shake look for the Craftsman style with its intense thick tabs and unique design.

Mediterranean / Italianate
Mediterranean and Italian-Ornate architectural homes have a very elaborate appearance with lavish accents that requires a premium looking roof to match. Typical color roof choices for this kind of home are warmer browns, reds and reddish hues, as well as some dark grays.

• Camelot
  Emulates the look of slate or tile and hence makes a great partner for this type of architecture. San Gabriel Camelot Lifetime Designer shingles have a warm reddish brown tone that will work well, in addition to Aged Oak.
• Grand Sequoia
  Will give this house a totally different look; the open floor plans and “western” looking stucco exterior pair well with Grand Sequoia’s wood shake look.
• Grand Canyon
  For a premium solution, get this ultra-dimensional version, our premium wood-shake option.

French Country
French Country style uses several different exterior siding combinations that create an exciting exterior portfolio. The extensive use of stone and other masonry products incorporates a lot of different accent colors and therefore many different types of shingles and colors look good with this type of home. For a more conservative look, stick with more natural browns and grays for this type of home.

• Camelot
  Designer slate look creates dimensionality and refinement on the roof, while still maintaining the integrity of the overall building architecture.
• Camelot II
  An affordable luxury option- same great design as Camelot!
• Slateline
  A simplistic slate look with sleek lines and a classic overall look that will work well with the French Country Style.

Spanish Colonial / Spanish Eclectic

With a distinct side-gabled roof and typically a stucco front and low-pitched roof-line, these homes look best with a tile looking shingle. The design can also be complemented by a wood-shake looking shingle. From a color perspective, warm red and brown tones are the best fit. For a more bold choice, go with a cool gray to contrast the rest of the home’s color palette.

• Camelot / Camelot II
  Since Camelot in our warmer color palette can look similar to tile roofing, this would be a great choice that will match the style of the overall home.
• Timberline
  Popular wood-shake look will match well with Spanish Colonial houses; with several choices in the reddish-brown family.
• Grand Sequoia
  This particular color palette has lots of warm browns and reddish hues such as Mesa Brown and Cedar, making it an ideal fit for this type of home.

Ranch Style

This was one of the most dominant architectural styles in the United states from the 1960s through present day architecture. Ranch style homes are characterized by their one-story design with very low-pitched roofs and very long and spread-out floor plans. In most cases, the roof will be larger than that of a two-story home, so the roof can have a big impact on the look of the home. Both style and color choices are wide-spread as this architectural style matches with a very wide variety of shingle styles and colors. Regarding color, more neutral tones are safe bets for this home including browns, black, and grays.

• Grand Sequoia
  Will give a distinct and very dimensional look to the roof, giving a better curb appeal to a more simplistic ranch design.
• Grand Canyon
  For a premium solution, get this ultra-dimensional version, our premium wood-shake option.
• Capstone
  Random tab designer will look like a natural shake look (without the typical timberline route).
• Timberline Shingles
  Popular wood-shake look will match well with the architectural style of a the very versatile ranch-style house; with a neutral color pallet of browns, blacks, and grays, this shingle will have a lot of different color choices that will work well with this style home.
