Exclusive SureNail® Technology in Duration® Series Shingles

The uniqueness of Duration® Series shingles lies in their patented SureNail® Technology, prominently featured in the nailing area. This wide, visible engineered fabric enhances both the installation process and the shingles’ overall performance.

SureNail® Technology ensures consistent, high-quality installation and provides Triple Layer Protection® that leads the industry in performance metrics. It offers up to nine times greater resistance to nail blow-through and twice the delamination resistance.* Additionally, Duration® Series shingles exhibit exceptional high wind performance, boasting up to 2.5 times better nail pull-through resistance.*

Unlike competing shingles that use wide, single-layer nailing zones, our architectural shingles offer remarkable resistance to high winds, effectively mitigate water infiltration, and prevent the separation of shingle layers. Our rigorous testing supports these claims.

Key Benefits of SureNail Technology

1. Exceptional Adhesive Strength
This feature helps maintain the lamination of shingle layers.

2. Enhanced Grip
The SureNail® strip improves the grip of our proprietary Tru-Bond®† sealant, ensuring exceptional wind resistance with a 130-MPH wind warranty.††

3. Innovative Design
SureNail® Technology+ represents the first and only reinforced nailing zone visible on the face of the shingle.

4. Triple Layer Protection®++
A distinctive “triple layer” of reinforcement is created when the fabric overlays the common bond area of the shingle layers, offering superior protection against nail pull due to wind.

5. Expanded Common Bond Area
SureNail® Technology features a common bond area in the nailing zone that is up to 200% wider than that of standard shingles.

6. Triple Layer Protection
With SureNail® Technology, the unique triple layer of reinforcement in the nailing zone significantly improves fastener holding power compared to standard shingles, which typically offer only one or two layers.

Owens Corning Duration Shingles have gained significant popularity in recent years; however, how do they compare to their competitors?

Durability and Longevity
Homeowners often prioritize durability and longevity when investing in new roofing shingles. Owens Corning Duration Shingles are well-known for their outstanding performance in these areas. Engineered with patented SureNail® Technology, these shingles enhance wind resistance, ensuring they remain intact even in severe weather conditions. This characteristic sets them apart from many competitors that may not offer the same level of protection.

Additionally, Owens Corning Duration Shingles come with a limited lifetime warranty, providing homeowners with reassurance that their investment is protected. This warranty surpasses the offerings of many other brands and reflects Owens Corning’s confidence in the durability of their product.

Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is another critical aspect when selecting roofing shingles. Owens Corning Duration Shingles incorporate innovative “Cool Roof” technology that reflects solar energy away from your home. By minimizing heat absorption, these shingles can help reduce cooling costs during hot summer months, making them an excellent choice for homeowners who want to enhance energy efficiency.

In contrast, some competitors may lack similar energy-saving features or may require additional coatings or treatments to achieve comparable results.

Aesthetic Appeal
In addition to performance and functionality, the visual appeal of roofing shingles is essential. Owens Corning recognizes this and offers a wide selection of colors and styles suited to various architectural designs and personal tastes. Whether you prefer a traditional look or something more modern, Owens Corning Duration Shingles provide options that can enhance your home’s exterior.

Competitors may have a limited range of colors and styles, making it harder to find the right match for your home. With Owens Corning Duration Shingles, homeowners can easily find the perfect blend of functionality and visual appeal.

Environmental Sustainability
In a time when environmental sustainability is increasingly valuable, Owens Corning Duration Shingles are designed with eco-friendliness in mind. Made from a blend of recycled materials, including asphalt shingle waste, these shingles contribute to reducing landfill waste.

Owens Corning has also taken steps to minimize their carbon footprint throughout the manufacturing process. By choosing Owens Corning Duration Shingles, you support sustainable practices aimed at protecting our environment.

While some competitors claim a commitment to environmental friendliness, not all brands prioritize sustainability to the extent that Owens Corning does.

Emergency roof repair is something we specialize in. We have seen and fixed bad work from other contractors and will tell you that it is important to make the right choice the first time.

When replacing a roof, consider the existing roofing material, building structure, and budget. Consult with a roofing contractor to determine the most suitable replacement option, such as shingle, tile, TPO, EPDM, polyurethan foam or modified bitumen, etc. Proper installation and adherence to building codes are crucial to ensure the longevity and performance of the new roof. The selection of appropriate roofing materials, such as polyurethane foam, TPO, rubber, modified bitumen, or metal, depends on factors such as durability, energy efficiency, and budget.
