Let’s dive into the benefits, warranties and colors of the GAF Slateline series …
The bold shadow lines and tapered cut-outs of Slateline shingles bring to life the aesthetic of traditional slate — at a fraction of the cost. In addition to being incredibly durable, they also feature GAF’s Time-Release Algae-Fighting Technology for long-lasting algae-fighting power that’s warrantied for 25 years (more info on this warranty below).
Plus, Slateline shingles can be upgraded to a GAF FORTIFIED roof, which adds an additional layer of strength to GAF’s already robust, durable roofing system. Legacy Exteriors is a GAF Fortified certified service provider, so if you have any questions, or would like to learn more about GAF’s FORTIFIED program, just let us know!
