Nailing Zone Performance
WHY THE NAIL ZONE MATTERS
Owens Corning® Oakridge® and Duration® Series Shingles outperform where it matters most–the nailing zone. Compared to competitive shingles with wide, single-layer nailing zones, our architectural shingles provide outstanding resistance to high winds, help deter water infiltration and help keep the shingle layers from separating. And our testing proves it.
Put The Rest to
the test
Owens Corning®architectural shingles create greater integrity and better holding power on the roof to protect your home. When ourOakridge®Shingles andDuration®Series Shingles go head-to-head with competing products in three critical tests, the results are impressive. Our products outperform in resistance to nail pull-through, nail blow-through and delamination.
A full double layer in the nail zone gives Oakridge® shingles greater integrity and better holding power compared to shingles with wide single layer nail zones. We proved it in head-to-head tests so you can trust it to perform the job.
For the ultimate in protection, Duration® Series with SureNail® Technology provides a unique triple layer of reinforcement in the nailing zone when the patented tough, engineered fabric overlays the common bond of the shingle layers, offering outstanding fastener holding power.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PERFORMANCE
