  • Why does it matter whether my roof is vented properly?

    Proper ventilation is essential to keeping roofs looking and performing their best.  Without proper ventilation, excessive heat & moisture can get trapped in the attic, causing damage to your home.  A properly ventilated attic gives the trapped heat and moisture an escape route – resulting in improved home energy efficiency – and enhances the performance of shingles.  Proper insulation and ventilation minimize the temperature difference between the attic and the air outside, helping to reduce energy costs.

  • Do dark shingles make your house hotter?

    Yes – however, proper ventilation and insulation will counteract the effect of dark shingles.

    It is a self-sealing layer that allows for proper water flow, helps in preventing damage caused by shingle blow-off, wind-driven rain and ice damming .  It is added protection in the most vulnerable sections of the roof to create a second line of defense.

  • Are your shingles resistant to hail damage?

    Yes.  Owens Corning Duration Series Shingles have enhanced impact resistance to hail and pass the UL 2218 and FM 4473 testing for Class 3 Impact Resistance providing a potential savings for homeowners.  Because shingle products rated for Impact Resistance may be less likely to need repair or replacement, they can qualify for a homeowner insurance discount.  Homeowners should check with their insurance company for discount qualification details and requirements.
