The Owens Corning Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 1938, Owens Corning has been at the forefront of building materials innovation for over 80 years. The company is best known for inventing pink fiberglass insulation, but they’ve also pioneered numerous advances in roofing technology. Their commitment to research and development has produced some of the roofing industry’s most significant innovations including fiberglass mat technology that replaced organic mats, providing superior durability and dimensional stability, advanced sealant formulations for enhanced wind resistance, patented SureNail Technology that revolutionized fastening performance, TruDefinition color technology for unprecedented color accuracy and vibrancy, and proprietary granule formulations that enhance algae resistance and weatherability.
This dedication to innovation means homeowners who choose Owens Corning aren’t just getting proven products; they’re getting roofing systems that incorporate the latest advances in materials science and engineering. Each generation of Owens Corning shingles outperforms the previous one, delivering greater value, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
Owens Corning Duration Series Shingles
The Duration series represents Owens Corning’s core architectural shingle line, offering exceptional performance and aesthetics at a competitive price point. These shingles have become one of America’s most popular roofing products, installed on millions of homes nationwide. The Duration series delivers outstanding value through superior engineering and manufacturing quality.
Duration Premium Shingles
Duration Premium shingles take performance even further with enhanced features for maximum protection. These shingles offer Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available, providing superior protection against hail damage. This impact resistance can qualify homeowners for insurance premium discounts in many areas. Duration Premium also includes StreakGuard algae resistance warranty for excellent protection against unsightly algae staining, and it carries Owens Corning’s most comprehensive warranty coverage, including non-prorated coverage for defined periods. For homeowners in areas prone to severe hail or those who want the ultimate in asphalt shingle performance, Duration Premium represents an excellent investment.
TruDefinition Duration Designer Shingles
For homeowners who want distinctive style combined with exceptional performance, TruDefinition Duration Designer shingles deliver both in a premium product line. These shingles feature Owens Corning’s advanced color technology that produces more vibrant, dimensional color with greater depth and definition than standard shingles.
TruDefinition Color Platform
The TruDefinition color platform represents a breakthrough in shingle color technology. Traditional shingles use a relatively limited palette of granule colors blended together. TruDefinition technology expands this palette dramatically by incorporating up to three times more color granules into carefully engineered blends. The result is colors with unprecedented vibrancy, depth, and dimensional variation.
TruDefinition shingles feature color accuracy and consistency that ensures your roof looks exactly like the sample you selected, bold colors that remain vibrant year after year thanks to advanced UV-resistant granules, dramatic shadow effects from the multi-colored granule blends, and designer color options not available in standard shingle lines. The visual impact of TruDefinition shingles significantly enhances curb appeal, making them popular with homeowners who view their roof as an essential architectural element.
TruDefinition Duration Collection
The TruDefinition Duration Collection includes several distinctive color families including Storm colors with dramatic dark to light contrast, Estate colors with rich, multi-tonal blends, and FLEX colors featuring some of the boldest, most contemporary options available. Each color is carefully designed by Owens Corning’s team of color experts and tested extensively to ensure long-term performance and satisfaction. The collection gives homeowners the freedom to make a bold architectural statement or complement their home’s existing design with sophisticated style.

SureNail Technology
One of the most significant innovations in Duration shingles is the patented SureNail Technology strip. This engineering breakthrough features a wide fabric strip in the nailing zone, providing exceptional holding power for fasteners. The woven fabric strip grips nails better than traditional shingle materials, significantly reducing the risk of blow-off even in extreme winds.
SureNail Technology delivers multiple performance advantages including superior wind resistance up to 130 mph with proper installation, reduced risk of improper nailing since the wide strip provides a larger target area, improved long-term fastener retention as the fabric grip doesn’t degrade over time, and enhanced performance in temperature extremes. This innovation gives homeowners peace of mind knowing their roof can withstand Ohio’s most severe weather conditions.
Comprehensive Warranty Protection
Owens Corning backs their shingles with some of the roofing industry’s most comprehensive warranty coverage. Understanding warranty terms helps homeowners appreciate the long-term value and protection they receive. Standard warranty coverage includes a limited lifetime material warranty for Duration series shingles when installed on owner-occupied single-family residences, a 10-year StreakGuard algae resistance warranty, a 10-year wind resistance warranty covering up to 130 mph winds, and TearOff protection covering labor costs if premature failure occurs within specific timeframes.
As a certified Owens Corning contractor, American Way Exteriors can offer enhanced warranty options, including System Plus Warranty with extended non-prorated coverage when using Owens Corning roofing system components, Platinum Preferred Protection with 50-year non-prorated coverage and enhanced wind warranty, and workmanship warranty covering installation for specified periods. We handle all warranty registration and maintain detailed documentation to ensure you’re fully protected. If warranty claims arise, we work directly with Owens Corning to resolve issues quickly and fairly.
Complete Roofing System Components
While shingles are the most visible part of your roof, a complete roofing system includes multiple components that work together to provide comprehensive protection. Owens Corning manufactures a complete line of roofing system components engineered to work together optimally. Using matched system components can enhance warranty coverage and ensure peak performance.
Underlayment Products
Quality underlayment provides critical secondary weather protection. Owens Corning offers multiple underlayment options, including ProArmor synthetic underlayment for superior strength and walkability, WeatherLock ice and water barrier for protection in vulnerable areas, and Deck Defense high-temperature underlayment for hot climates. Proper underlayment installation is essential for achieving rated system performance and maximizing roof lifespan.
Ventilation Solutions
Adequate attic ventilation is critical for shingle longevity and energy efficiency. Owens Corning’s VentSure ventilation products include ridge vents, intake vents, and related accessories that create balanced airflow to remove heat and moisture from attic spaces. Proper ventilation prevents premature shingle aging, reduces cooling costs, and helps prevent ice dam formation in winter. Our installation process includes ventilation assessment and upgrades when necessary.
Hip and Ridge Shingles
Hip and ridge caps provide the finishing touch while sealing these critical areas. Owens Corning’s Pre-Formed Hip and Ridge Shingles match their shingle lines perfectly and install more quickly than traditional field-cut ridge shingles. The pre-formed design ensures a consistent appearance and proper sealing for enhanced wind resistance. These specialty shingles contribute to both aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
