GAF, a North American roofing manufacturer, announced the creation of the Architects’ Portal, a web area accessible from the GAF home page (www.gaf.com) for architects and specification professionals.
It can also be accessed directly at www.gaf.com/architects-specifiers.
The new portal offers a clean look with minimal clutter to make it easier to find the technical information and product data that architects need.
This specially designed portal is user-friendly for the technical professional. It offers architects and specifiers fast retrieval of pertinent information like data sheets, specs, code information, and application instructions without the usual “selling content” found on general information websites.
The new design utilizes drop-down menus that will greatly improve search functionality along with tabs dedicated to residential and commercial products. The portal also offers links to current press releases, contractor and distributor locators, GAF sustainability program details, CARE education and training opportunities, as well as direct contact information for GAF services that the architect/specifier may require.
