      How Reflector Series™ shingles work

      A cool roof from GAF helps minimize solar heat gain by reflecting incoming sun rays and re-emitting the absorbed energy to help reduce the heat in your attic. This may translate into savings on air-conditioning bills.3

      Even better, there’s no need to settle for pale colors. Innovative GAF EcoDark™ granule technology produces vibrant color never before seen in a cool roof.
