Living along the picturesque Jersey Shore comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to safeguarding your home against the unpredictable coastal weather. This guide is crafted to empower Jersey Shore homeowners with the knowledge needed to choose storm-ready roofing and siding materials, ensuring the longevity and resilience of their homes.
We'll dive into the world of GAF roofing supplies and accessories, emphasizing LayerLock® Technology on the renowned Timberline HDZ® shingle. We also will touch on our recommended siding material to ensure durability during the toughest storm seasons.
Storm-Ready Roofing Materials: GAF's Timberline HDZ® with LayerLock® Technology
At the forefront of storm-ready roofing materials is our supplier, GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. GAF's proprietary LayerLock® Technology is featured on the Timberline HDZ® shingle, North America’s #1 selling shingle. This technology ensures superior wind resistance and only GAF shingles with LayerLock® Technology qualify for the WindProven Limited Wind Warranty.
How Does It Work?
Traditional laminate shingles are typically comprised of two individual pieces held together with an asphalt-based adhesive, forming what is known as the common bond area. However, this common bond area, when exposed to heat, may become more malleable, leading to potential separation.
LayerLock™ technology revolutionizes this process by mechanically attaching the individual shingle pieces during manufacturing. Dimple marks on the back of Timberline® shingles indicate this powerful attachment method, resembling a punch press. This mechanical fastening significantly strengthens the bond between layers, addressing the vulnerability of the common bond area.
Why The Correct Roofing Materials Matter for Storm Protection:
The LayerLock™ technology's superior mechanical attachment minimizes the risk of separation during high temperatures, a critical factor in storm-prone areas. With a fortified asphalt-to-asphalt bond and an increased nailing zone, Timberline® HDZ shingles become an excellent choice for Jersey Shore homeowners seeking reliable storm-ready roofing solutions. This innovative technology not only enhances the performance of the roofing system but also contributes to the overall resilience of your home against the elements.
