The best GAF shingle is generally considered to be the GAF Timberline UHDZ, which stands for Ultra High Definition, and the GAF Timberline AS II for impact resistance, depending on your needs, with Timberline HDZ being the most popular overall. GAF Timberline HDZ is the most commonly installed shingle in North America and offers excellent value, featuring Dual Shadow Line for enhanced dimensional appearance, Dura Grip adhesive for 130 mph wind warranty, StainGuard Plus algae protection, and 15-year wind and algae warranties. It is considered best for most homeowners for balance of appearance, durability, and price. GAF Timberline UHDZ is considered the best premium architectural shingle from GAF, offering even thicker, more dimensional appearance with extra shadow lines, larger exposure, and enhanced curb appeal, often described as the best looking Timberline, with same wind and algae protection as HDZ but more luxurious look. For hail-prone areas, GAF Timberline AS II is best because it has Class 4 impact resistance rating, the highest impact rating, and may qualify for insurance discounts. For budget, GAF Timberline NS is good. For designer look, GAF Grand Sequoia or Camelot II are best premium designer shingles. For most homeowners, Timberline HDZ is best overall, while Timberline UHDZ is best for premium appearance and Timberline AS II is best for impact resistance.
