What Is GAF Camelot® II?
GAF Camelot® II is a designer shingle with an artisan-crafted look inspired by European architecture. Oversized tabs and a dimensional design give the roof a classic, stately character.
GAF makes Camelot® II bigger and thicker than the average architectural shingle, which helps it pass the UL 2218 Class 4 impact test. Time-Release algae-fighting technology helps keep the surface cleaner over time.
ProShield Roofing is GAF Master Elite certified and can install Camelot® II as a complete roofing system. See our residential roofing services, or compare it with GAF Slateline®.

Here is what is covered and how long you can expect a Camelot® II roof to last.
Manufacturer Warranty
Camelot® II carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects, with non-prorated coverage for the first 10 years. It requires at least three qualifying GAF accessories. GAF’s standard warranty for Lifetime shingles lists wind coverage up to 130 mph with special installation or 110 mph without it.
ProShield Workmanship Warranty

It covers Designer Lifetime Shingles and extends non-prorated coverage on defective materials to 50 years. Read a sample Golden Pledge warranty, and ask us which installations qualify.
What “Lifespan” Actually Means
A Lifetime warranty is a coverage term, not a promise about how long a roof lasts. Designer shingles typically last 30 to 40 years. Real service life depends on ventilation, installation quality, and storm exposure. Learn more about how long a roof lasts.
