GAF Glenwood Shingles in Edmonton
GAF Glenwood is a thick designer asphalt shingle that recreates the rugged character of hand-split wood shakes, with a Class 3 impact rating and a limited lifetime warranty — a premium shake look for Edmonton homes.
What it is
Glenwood is a designer shingle built to capture the deep, irregular texture of hand-split cedar shakes. Its thick profile and shadow lines give a home a rich, rustic roofline.
Who it’s for: homeowners who want an authentic wood-shake look with the durability and low maintenance of asphalt.

Available colours in Canada
GAF offers Glenwood in a range of colours for the Canadian market. Colour availability shifts by region and season, so rather than list colours we can’t currently verify for Alberta, we confirm the live Canadian lineup with our suppliers for each project.
