Get to Know Owens Corning Roofing, Part 1: Duration Architectural Style Shingles

Owens Corning Asphalt Roofing Contractors Madison WIAt Legacy Exteriors, we install a lot of roofing. And one of the two top brands many homeowners choose is Owens Corning — one of the best asphalt roofing manufacturers in the country (the other top brand is GAF Asphalt Roofing).

In addition to quality, one of the pillars of the Owens Corning brand is a dedication to building a more sustainable future through material innovation. Owens Corning Roofing also delivers one one of the best warranties in the industry, which homeowners love.

When it comes to asphalt shingles, Owens Corning offers four main product lines:

  • Architectural Style: Duration Shingles & Oak Ridge Shingles
  • Slate Style: Berkshire Shingles
  • Wood-shake Style: Woodcrest Shingles
  • Three-Tab Style: Supreme Shingles

In this series, we’ll be covering all of these asphalt roofing styles, starting with Duration shingles, which is comprised of six different architectural style shingle types — and features patented SureNail® Technology, a technological breakthrough in shingle design. 

SureNail is a wide, highly visible engineered fabric strip in the nailing area that offers many benefits, including: 

  • A “no guess” nailing zone for consistent, quality installation
  • Outstanding gripping power to the shingle below, ensuring that your water-shedding roof stays intact
  • Triple layer reinforcement in the nailing zone delivers excellent fastener holding power against wind uplift
