GAF and Timberline are not the same company, but Timberline is the flagship product line of shingles made by GAF. GAF is the company, which stands for General Aniline and Film, and is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America, founded in 1886 and headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey. GAF makes a wide range of roofing products including underlayment, ridge cap shingles, starter strips, and commercial roofing. Timberline is the brand name for GAF's most popular architectural asphalt shingle line, which includes Timberline HD, Timberline HDZ, Timberline UHDZ, Timberline NS, and Timberline AS II. So Timberline is a product line within GAF, not a separate company. It would be like saying Toyota and Camry, Toyota is the company and Camry is the product line. GAF Timberline shingles are known for their dimensional appearance, Dura Grip adhesive, StainGuard algae protection, and are the most installed architectural shingle in the United States. So when someone says GAF Timberline, they mean the Timberline shingle made by the GAF company. GAF also makes other shingle lines like Grand Sequoia, Camelot, and Royal Sovereign, but Timberline is by far its most famous and best-selling line.
