Key Advantages of Duration and Duration Designer Shingles
Duration and Duration Designer laminated shingles are both premium roofing products. They counter the threat posed by high winds, intense UV rays and heavy precipitation. They’ll even combat algae streaking. Every one of the Owens Corning shingle colors in the Duration and Duration Designer lines includes the following.
130+ mph wind ratings
Owens Corning’s patented SureNail technology features a reinforced nail strip built into every shingle. It delivers extra gripping power that holds shingles in place in the high winds of New Jersey thunderstorms. Enjoy added durability with Tru-Bond adhesive sealant. It bonds shingles together to form an effective barrier against wind-driven rain and heavy snow, two of the major enemies of roofs in New Jersey. Together, SureNail and Tru-Bond deliver a 130+ mph wind rating.
Limited lifetime warranty protection
When you invest in high-quality Owens Corning shingles you qualify for generous manufacturer warranties. The terms of these warranties meet or exceed those offered by the competition. For example, the available Platinum Protection Warranty offers limited lifetime coverage.
This warranty protection extends to all Owens Corning roofing components. This means underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, ice/water barriers and other parts of your roofing system are covered, giving you peace of mind.
The warranty covers both materials and labor during the initial 50-year “TRU-PROtection Period.” Owens Corning also provides lifetime coverage on workmanship. After 25 years, this coverage is prorated based on the age of the roof.
Only Owens Corning factory-certified contractors can offer such extensive warranty coverage. The company trusts such roofers to faithfully install its products to spec.
StreakGuard algae resistance
The dark streaks you see on many northern New Jersey roofs are from blue-green algae. Fortunately, this algae does not survive contact with copper. Owens Corning engineers developed a special way to infuse shingle granules with copper.
Season after season, the copper delivers important algae resistance. This resistance allows you to enjoy the bright and vibrant Owens Corning shingle colors without distracting streaking, leaving your shingles looking great year after year.
