Limited Lifetime Warranty*
CoverageIf you purchase any of the System warranties, make sure you tell your contractors to register them with us and give you the proof of purchase! Having your roof installed by an Owens Corning Roofing Preferred Contractor or an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor can have an impact on your warranty coverage.
Wind Resistance
PerformanceSignificant wind can cause shingles to blow off the roof deck. Missing shingles can lead to leaks and other interior damage. The quality and performance of the sealant on a shingle play an important part in wind resistance performance. Owens Corning certifies our shingles to industry recognized wind resistance standards through independent third-party testing laboratories. To see the wind resistance warranty on this product, refer to the Technical Information section.
How the Roof System Functions
A roof isn’t just shingles. It’s a full system—intake/exhaust ventilation, underlayment, waterproofing layers, and details that prevent leaks and heat/moisture damage.
