There are so many conventions, expos and conferences in the construction industry every year that when something happens at one of them that catches my attention, I’m amazed that I didn’t know about it.
That’s what happened yesterday when I learned GAF, the roofing company based in Parsippany, NJ, had a Solar Roofing System they were showcasing at the International Roofing Expo in Dallas this week.
The GAF Energy Timberline Solar™ Roofing System, which brings the world’s first integrated, nailable solar product that is affordable and design-minded to homeowners across the country. Timberline Solar™ Energy Shingles, produced at GAF Energy’s manufacturing facility in San Jose, CA, sit at the center of the most awarded solar roof in the world, having received more than 32 major awards in 2022.
I guess when you’re one of the largest roofing manufacturers in the world with 26 plants in the US, unveiling another new product can become just another day at work.
I know the company’s Energy Timberline Solar™ Roofing System has been around for a year or so but not knowing about it made me realize that so much is happening in construction, it’s hard to keep up with it.
