WHY THE NAIL ZONE MATTERS

The difference between a good shingle and a great shingle is SureNail® Technology, exclusive to Owens Corning’s Duration® Series Shingles. This technology includes a wide, visible engineered fabric strip in the nailing area for consistent, quality installation, and its unique design offers exceptional gripping power.

Duration® Series Shingles excel in the nailing zone. Compared to other shingles with wide, single layer nailing zones, our architectural shingles provide superior resistance to high winds, deter water infiltration, and prevent shingle layer separation. Our testing confirms this performance*.
