Help protect with the Power of FLEX

Unlike standard shingles, TruDefinition® Duration FLEX® shingles are made with a proprietary blend of SBS polymer modified asphalt. The rubberizing effect of the uniquely blended SBS modified asphalt makes the shingle pliable and gives them greater flexibility and enhanced durability and toughness, especially under intense storm conditions. With Duration FLEX®, you are getting a shingle that has the highest impact rating possible: UL 2218 Class 4 and may qualify for a homeowner insurance discount - check with your insurance company.

Colour Selected:

Black Sable

Black shingles with a dark brown undertone achieved with a mix of brown, taupe, and dark gray granules

Colour Accuracy: Due to computer monitor colour variations, we suggest you request an actual shingle sample to see how it will appear on your home and with your home’s exterior elements in various natural lighting conditions. As colour experts, we know getting the shingle colour right is a big part of any roofing purchase. We recommend you start online to research and narrow down your shingle colour options. Verify your colour choice by seeing it installed on an actual home; your roofing contractor or supplier can provide a sample and may be able to direct you to a local installation.

*Shingle products may vary by region. Reviews are based on the reviewer’s actual experience with the product and reflect the honest beliefs and experiences of the reviewer.
We strive to accurately reproduce all photographs of shingles in literature and for onscreen viewing. The roofing product colors you see are as accurate as technology allows. We suggest that you view a roofing display or several shingles to get a better idea of the actual color. To accurately judge your shingle and color choice, we recommend that you view it on an actual roof with a pitch similar to your own roof prior to making your final color selection.
