Fastening
Hassles!
The Problem ...
Contractors & property owners are frustrated
over shingle fastening issues, due to:
• Most major shingle manufacturers’ application instructions too rigid
for fastener placement
• Warranty denial for blow-offs...based on fastening patterns—
even when the real problem is a material defect!
• Installation rejections... by code officials and consultants who are assuring compliance with what
are overly restrictive manufacturer application directives
• Mandatory removal and re-application of shingles—costing time and money
The Solution ...
GAF’s expanded approved
fastener placement area
(see reverse for details),
resulting in:
• Greater flexibility
in fastener placement
• Efficient installation
while maintaining highest quality
• Reduced risk of unnecessary
and costly rework
The Proof ...
Will these expanded fastener options
adversely affect wind uplift resistance?
No ! !!
• UL testing (UL997) conclusively proves that,
once the shingles have sealed,
GAF’s new expanded fastener placement
will NOT adversely affect wind resistance
• GAF’s long-term field experience
supports the conclusions of UL 997 testing
