Durability against harsh weather
Oakridge shingles have a full double layer in their nailing zone, giving them better holding power during storms. They don’t easily delaminate (come apart), even when exposed to high winds of up to 110 mph, strong heat, and other forms of heavy wear and tear. These proven results against powerful wind and weather are independently evaluated and confirmed by third-party testers to ensure their performance meets Owens Corning’s high standards.

Harsh weather is all too common these days, no matter where you live. But you can rest at ease when your home has Duration asphalt shingles on its roof. These shingles come with Owens Corning’s SureNail Technology—a triple layer of reinforcement in the shingle’s nailing zone. SureNail Technology ensures that your roof shingles remain securely attached to your roof deck for outstanding holding power despite strong storms and high winds. Duration shingles are warrantied to endure up to 130 mph winds.
Top notch impact resistance
