And that line is the nailing line. The difference between a good shingle and a great shingle is having SureNail® Technology, only available from Owens Corning on Duration® Series Shingles. Patented SureNail® Technology features a wide, highly visible engineered fabric strip in the nailing area for a consistent, quality installation, and the unique product design provides outstanding gripping power.
Owens Corning® 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.
with SureNail Technology® with Triple Layer Protection®
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.
Owens Corning® architectural shingles create greater integrity and better holding power on the roof to protect your home. When our Oakridge® Shingles and Duration® 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.
Helps keep the shingle layers laminated.
The SureNail® strip enhances the already amazing grip of our proprietary Tru-Bond®† sealant for exceptional wind resistance of a 130-MPH wind warranty††.
Patented SureNail® Technology+ is the first and only reinforced nailing zone on the face of the shingle.
This tough, engineered woven-fabric strip is embedded in the shingle to create an easy-to-see strong, durable fastener zone.
A unique “triple layer” of reinforcement occurs when the fabric overlays the two shingle layers, called the common bond area. This provides increased protection against “nail pull” from the wind.
SureNail® features up to a 200% wider common bond area in the nailing zone over standard shingles.
