Choosing The
Best-Looking Shingle
For Your Home
Some people think all strip shingles
look pretty much alike. Not so! At
GAF, we’ve gone to great pains to
make Royal Sovereign® the most
beautiful strip shingle you can install.
But don’t just take our word for it. GAF
asked an independent research firm to
survey homeowners about whose 3-tab
shingles they preferred. The result: More
homeowners preferred the look of Royal
Sovereign® shingles to the other leading
brands! And the #1 reason cited by home
owners? Royal Sovereign’s color blends.
Here’s just a sampling of what these
real homeowners said about
Royal Sovereign® shingles:
“It has more vivid color, it
is a more vibrant color...
not faded.”
“...looks clean, looks classier.”
“Looks more natural [than the others]
because of the colors.”
“...stands out better than
the other ones,
I like the color,
it is brighter.”
“It looks rich and very durable.”
The GAF Smart Choice® Weather Stopper® System
has earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping
Seal, which means that Good Housekeeping
stands behind the products in this system.

other 3 tab shingle. It’s a truly
reliable shingle, that’s for sure!”

Weather Watch® and
StormGuard® provide
exceptional protection
against leaks caused by
roof settling and extreme
weather. Ideal upgrade at
all vulnerable areas (including
at the eaves in the North*).
Similar to the way that a
distinctive frame enhances
a painting, Timbertex®
and Ridglass® can
enhance the beauty and
value of your home–while
guarding against leaks at
the hips and ridges.
Cobra® and Master Flow®
vents help remove excess
heat and moisture from
your attic that can raise
your energy bills, cause
premature peeling of interior
paint and wallpaper, and
even affect your health.
