When it comes to protecting your home from the elements, your roof is your first—and most critical—defense. Today, we’re proud to showcase a true breakthrough in roofing performance: Owens Corning’s SureNail™ Technology, found exclusively in their Duration® shingle line. Here’s why this innovation delivers up to 300% more nail-holding power and wind resistance up to 130 mph, season after season.
What Is SureNail™ Technology?

Unlike traditional shingles, which rely solely on adhesive spots and an unfamiliar fiberglass mat, Duration® shingles incorporate a specially engineered reinforced fabric strip right at the nailing area. This “Zone Reinforcement” provides:
Triple the Nail-Holding Strength: Extra grip around each fastener reduces the chance of shingles lifting or slipping—even in sustained high winds.
Precision Placement: A visual “nail guide” shows exactly where to drive each roofing nail for optimum performance and full warranty coverage.
How It Works
Reinforced Fabric Strip Embedded just above the cutout area, this engineered strip grips the nail shank much more securely than the mat alone.
Dual-Layer Adhesive Ultra-tough sealant strips bond quickly when warmed by sunlight, locking each shingle in place.
Uniform Nail Exposure. The colored nail guide ensures each fastener hits the reinforced zone, so installation quality doesn’t depend on guesswork.
Real-World Benefits
130 mph Wind Resistance: Duration® shingles with SureNail™ earn Class H wind rating, protecting your home from storms and gusts that would tear off ordinary shingles.
Algae Protection: Specialty granules guard against unsightly staining in humid climates, keeping your roof looking fresh.
Long-Term Durability: Backed by Owens Corning’s Platinum Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty, you get lifetime coverage on workmanship and materials when installed by a Platinum Preferred contractor.
Why It Matters to You
Fewer Call-Backs, More Peace of Mind: Our crews install each shingle to SureNail™ specifications, reducing maintenance issues and unexpected repairs.
Faster Installations: The built-in nail guide speeds up installation, meaning we finish your project more efficiently, without sacrificing quality.
Enhanced Home Value: A roof that combines beauty (with 15 vibrant color blends) and proven performance can boost curb appeal and resale value.
