GAF Materials Corporation

Founded in 1886, GAF Materials Corporation is one of the oldest manufacturers of commercial and residential roofing materials in the United States, and its proud tradition of innovation and excellence has made it one of the most respected.

GAF Materials Corporation offers the most comprehensive line of quality roofing systems in the industry. Whether your design calls for a standard 3-tab shingle, an architectural shingle, a conventional built-up roof, a modified bitumen system or a composite system, GAFMC's superior products and roofing specifications will meet your needs for a complete single-source installation.

Today, GAF Materials Corporation employs over 3,300 people in 26 plants throughout the United States, and GAFMC products are available across the country and through select distribution centers worldwide.

GAF Materials Corporation manufactures and supplies a complete line of products for the asphaltic roofing systems most commonly used in commercial applications:
Conventional built-up roofing (BUR)
Modified bitumen roofing
GAF CompositeRoof
Each system offers specific advantages in terms of economy, strength, construction, fire resistance and overall durability.

In use for over 100 years, BUR remains the industry standard, the most specified method of protecting flat and low sloped roofs, because of it familiarity among the trades, proven history and the redundant protection offered by multiple plies. GAFMC's premium quality line of BUR systems and components satisfies all your needs for even the most demanding applications.

Modified bitumen membrane roofing, a more recent technology, offers greater flexibility and impact resistance, as well as better low-temperature characteristics. GAFMC modified bitumen membrane systems satisfy a complete range of cost requirements and fire resistance standards.

Increasingly popular are the composite, or hybrid, roofing systems that combine BUR felts and modified bitumen membranes. Through sophisticated testing methods, GAFMC researchers have matched select GAFGLAS® BUR and RUBEROID® modified bitumen products in designing GAF CompositeRoof®, offering high tensile strength, high flexibility and exceptional strain energy, for long-term reliability.

In today's environmentally conscious and conservation-oriented society, building performance is measured not only in initial installation costs, but also in sustained cost benefits--savings on maintenance, fuel and energy over the life of the building.

Integrated, high performance building materials and systems of proven capability are critical for realizing such savings, as life-cycle analysis indicated, and GAFMC researchers design each roofing component to fill an essential role in total system performance, ensuring maximum life cycle cost advantages.
