Owens Corning Duration® Shingles: Performance, Protection, and Curb Appeal That Lasts

When it comes to protecting your home, your roof is your first and most important line of defense. That’s why choosing the right roofing material matters — not just for looks, but for long-term durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. At Sierra Exteriors, we proudly install Owens Corning Duration® Shingles, a trusted solution for homeowners who want more from their roof than just shingles.

Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, replacing an aging roof, or building your dream home, Duration shingles are built to deliver next-level performance with premium aesthetics. Here’s why they’re one of the most popular choices in America — and why Sierra Exteriors recommends them for nearly every residential roofing project.

What Are Owens Corning Duration® Shingles?

Duration® shingles are a line of architectural asphalt shingles produced by Owens Corning, one of the most reputable names in building materials. Known for their bold dimension, advanced engineering, and wide range of vibrant color blends, Duration shingles offer homeowners a perfect balance of style, strength, and technology.

This product line is part of Owens Corning’s TruDefinition® family, which features high-contrast color palettes designed to enhance curb appeal. But looks are just the beginning — it’s the technology inside that really sets Duration shingles apart.

Key Features & Benefits of Duration® Shingles

🛠️ 1. SureNail® Technology — A Breakthrough in Roofing

The signature feature of Duration shingles is Owens Corning’s patented SureNail® Technology. This revolutionary innovation includes a unique reinforced nailing zone — a tough fabric strip embedded into the shingle — that delivers:

• Up to 9 times better nail pull resistance

• Consistent and faster installation

• Improved resistance to blow-offs in high winds

• Precise alignment and enhanced integrity

SureNail is a game-changer for both contractors and homeowners, offering 130 MPH wind resistance (when installed with required components) and peace of mind that your shingles stay where they belong — on your roof.

🌧️ 2. Extreme Weather Durability

From Midwest hailstorms to coastal winds, roofs take a beating. Duration shingles are engineered for exceptional toughness, with a fiberglass core and advanced adhesive sealant that help your roof:

• Resist cracking, tearing, or warping

• Withstand high winds and heavy precipitation

• Offer long-term structural integrity under real-world conditions

Paired with proper attic ventilation and roof decking, they create a complete roofing system built to endure.

🌿 3. StreakGuard™ Algae Protection

Nothing ruins a beautiful roof faster than black streaks caused by algae. Owens Corning includes StreakGuard™ algae resistance in Duration shingles — a layer of copper-infused granules that help prevent the growth of algae, keeping your roof cleaner and your home looking well-kept for years.

🎨 4. Vibrant Color Options with TruDefinition® Design

Duration shingles aren’t just tough — they’re stunning. The TruDefinition® color platform offers a wide variety of high-contrast color blends, giving your roof depth, dimension, and dynamic curb appeal.

Popular colors include:

• Driftwood – A versatile, warm-toned favorite

• Estate Gray – A classic neutral that fits nearly any home

• Onyx Black – Bold, clean, and modern

• Teak, Desert Tan, Quarry Gray, and more

No matter your home’s style — traditional, rustic, modern, or transitional — there’s a Duration color that complements your exterior beautifully.

🛡️ 5. Limited Lifetime Warranty

Owens Corning backs their Duration shingles with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving you coverage for as long as you own your home (with a 10-year TruPROtection® period). When installed by a Preferred Contractor like Sierra Exteriors, you may also qualify for extended warranty options, including non-prorated coverage and transferability to future homeowners.
