They’re the best your money can buy, and we’re here to show you why.

SureNail® Technology

Would you rather have a good shingle or a great shingle? The difference is made by the nailing line on your shingles. Owens Corning offers a unique SureNail Technology system that guarantees strength and durability for each and every shingle.

  • Patented Technology – You’ll only see this kind of quality from Owens Corning shingles. They’re one-of-a-kind.
  • Wind Resistant – SureNail grip guarantees to perform perfectly up to 130 mph winds. Their warranty proves it.
  • Fewer Nails – Compared to competitors, Owens Corning shingles uses fewer nails and are more efficient.
  • Leading Design – The tough woven-fabric nailing strip is embedded right into the shingle to create a durable and strong nailing zone.
  • Triple Layer Protection® – The triple layer of protection overlays on the two shingle layers (also known as the common bond area), creating even more incredible strength. It’s a 200% wider bond area than standard shingles.
  • Outstanding Grip – SureNail enhances the grip of the Tru-Bond sealant even further.
  • Impressive Adhesive Power – Keeps shingles laminated and in place. They aren’t going anywhere!

Lasting Performance

Extreme winds can cause standard shingles to blow off your roof. This leads to leaks and could cause interior damage to your home. Yikes, no one wants to deal with that.

Owens Corning shingles have you covered. They are built to withstand even the most extreme conditions that Mother Nature may throw its way. In a lab test, a demonstration was done on a standard shingle and an Owens Corning shingle with SureNail technology. Each shingle was nailed onto a piece of wood with just one nail. The demonstrator then mimicked the wind by tugging on each shingle. The standard shingle broke off very easily, whereas the SureNail shingle held tough and stayed on.

If you’re faced with a strong storm, which one would you want on your roof? The answer is clear – Owens Corning shingles perform better than the rest.
