What Is GAF Woodland®?
GAF Woodland® is a Lifetime Designer Shingle styled after hand-cut European shingles. Artisan-crafted shapes and oversized tabs give the roof a dimensional, custom look at a fraction of the cost of traditional slate or wood shakes.
Woodland® also performs. It carries a UL Class A fire rating and a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, and Dura Grip™ Adhesive seals each shingle tightly to reduce the risk of blow-off, a useful trait when you are preparing for strong wind storms.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, ProShield Roofing can install Woodland® as part of a complete roofing system. See our residential roofing services, or compare it with Timberline UHDZ® if you prefer a more traditional profile.

What “Lifespan” Actually Means
Designer shingles typically last 30 to 40 years, which is not the same as the Lifetime warranty term. “Lifetime” describes how long coverage runs for an eligible owner. Real service life depends on ventilation, installation quality, and storm exposure. Learn more about how long a roof lasts.
