<< Back to Shingle Styles & Colors

For Homeowners

• Sophisticated Design...
  Carefully sculpted shingle tabs combined with a subtle “shadow effect” result in a sophisticated yet rugged design
   
• Incredible Appearance...
  Grand Canyon’s massive, extra-thick shingle tabs are up to 20% thicker, to give your roof the unmatched dimensionality and depth of real wood shakes
   
• Super-Heavyweight “Plus” Construction...
  At over 400 lbs. per square, compare Grand Canyon shingles to any of the so-called “heavyweight” shingles on the market!
   
• Natural Color Palette...
  Specially-formulated color palette is designed to accentuate Grand Canyon’s natural wood shake look
   
• High Performance...
  Custom-specified, ultra-high performance Micro Weave^® core provides better protection layer for layer
   
• Safer...
  Class A fire listing from Underwriters Laboratories—the highest rating possible—and safer than wood shakes!
   
• Stays In Place...
  Dura Grip^® adhesive seals each shingle tightly and reduces the risk of shingle blow-off. Shingles now warranted to withstand winds up to 130 mph!¹
   
• The Ultimate Peace Of Mind...
  Lifetime ltd. warranty with Smart Choice^® Protection for the first ten years (non-prorated material and installation labor)²
   
• Perfect Finishing Touch...
  For the best look, use Timbertex^® Distinctive Ridge Cap shingles. (In the West, use high profile Ridglass^® Ridge Cap shingles, or Sequoia^®/Canyon™ Ridge Cap shingles are also a good choice.)

For Professionals

  Large 17" x 40"shingle with 5"exposure installs from either direction to save labor—allowing you to offer superior value and greater homeowner satisfaction
