GAF TimberCrest Premium SBS-Modified 10 in. Ridge Cap Shingles, Monarch Black, 20 Lin ft per Box
This is a box of GAF TimberCrest Premium SBS-Modified ridge cap shingles in Monarch Black, covering 20 linear feet of hips and ridges. Each 10 in. wide, high-profile bullnose cap is made with SBS polymer-modified asphalt for UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance. Use it to cap a new GAF shingle roof as part of the GAF Lifetime Roofing System.
Key Features:

- Bullnose profile: High-profile design with a rounded leading edge gives a more dimensional finish than typical 3-tab strip shingles.
- Seals in place: DuraGrip self-seal adhesive seals each piece tightly to help avoid cap shingle blow-off.
- Alignment guide: A unique alignment guide in the headlap helps ensure each piece is properly centered over the hip or ridge.
- Easy staging: The lightweight, easy-to-carry box allows simple product removal and staging on the roof.
- System eligible: Eligible for a Lifetime limited warranty and qualifies as a component in GAF residential system warranties.
- Algae protection: Backed by a 25-year StainGuard Plus Algae Protection limited warranty against blue-green algae discoloration where the package bears the StainGuard Plus logo.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
TimberCrest is the premium choice when you want a dimensional bullnose ridge line plus Class 4 impact resistance on a GAF roof, especially in hail-prone regions or for FORTIFIED Roof requirements. Order one box per 20 linear feet of hip and ridge and stage a box at each roof section since the packaging is designed for easy carrying. For full system warranty benefits, use it with a GAF Lifetime shingle and at least three qualifying GAF accessories.
Ridge cap installation is performed at the roof's highest points, so follow GAF installation instructions and use appropriate fall protection and roof-work precautions.
