Duration 130 mph / OAKRIDGE 110 MPH - WIND WARRANTY

Duration shingles pack a punch with extra durability, thickness, and vibrant colors, while Oakridge nails it with solid performance and great value. Which one will top your home in style?

DURATION SHINGLES

Owens Corning’s high-end line of architectural shingles, with not just one, but seven styles: Duration, Duration Designer, Duration MAX, Duration Premium, Duration FLEX, Duration STORM, Duration COOL, and Duration COOL Plus, each with their own standout features. Here we’re going to focus on the flagship Duration line, but briefly touch on the others, too.

If you’re looking for an even more robust shingle than Oakridge, Duration might be for you. Each line in the Duration series is engineered with proprietary SureNail Technology. This adds a third layer across the nailing zone, a woven fabric strip, that adds strength and helps prevent nail blow-through during installation and even more wind resistance than the Oakridge line.

Besides the standard Duration line, each line in the Duration series has its own notable durability features and may be a factor in making your decision depending on where you live.

For example, Duration STORM and FLEX are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, and Duration COOL and COOL Plus utilize solar-reflecting granules to lessen heat transference to your home.

Like the Oakridge line, all Duration shingles feature the same great Streak Guard Algae Resistance for lasting curb appeal.

Price

With the exception of Duration Premium, each line in the Duration series comes in Owens Corning’s TruDefinition color platform. One notable difference is the Duration Designer line. While having the same functional specifications as the standard Duration line, Designer has color schemes that feature more contrasting shades of color within each scheme. If you want a color style that’s less monochromatic and more eclectic, Duration Designer might be what you’re looking for.

So how many colors can you choose from? Each series in the Duration line has varying amounts of color options, and usually depends on the regional availability of that type of shingle. The standard Duration line has a much wider range of color range of twenty-one color options (however, not all colors are available in all areas).

Duration shingles are priced higher, reflecting their premium features like enhanced durability and diverse color schemes. For those ready to invest a bit more for superior protection and style, Duration shingles are an excellent choice.

OAKRIDGE SHINGLES

Qualifies for a wind speed warranty of up to 110 miles per hour with a standard 4-nail application. This can go up to 130 mph if a 6-nail application is used and the right accessory products are installed at the same time.
