For Your New Roof Installation, Consider an Owens Corning Roofing System

Blue Ridge Roofing • Feb 25, 2022

When people think of roofing, they naturally think of the material that is visible, which is generally asphalt shingles, metal, or another exterior layer. When you are considering purchasing a new roof to be installed on your newly constructed home, keep in mind that there is really a whole roofing system that will be installed, including several aspects that you don’t see and maybe have never considered.

Your home is probably one of the largest investments you will ever make, and the roof protects that investment from many extremes – high winds, rain, ice accumulation, and excessive heat and humidity. When you purchase all your roofing elements from one brand, you can be confident that these elements are designed specifically to work together to give you superior performance and protection. One such system is an Owens Corning roofing system . Choosing a cohesive system also gives you access to the best manufacturer’s warranties, giving you peace of mind in your investment for the long term.

Owens Corning roofing systems address several key components, including:

  • Seal: This includes the underlayment and the moisture barrier of your new roof. There are a variety of options you can choose, and the best choice may depend on your climate, as well as your budget.
  • Defend: The shingles you choose are key to protecting your structure. These may include specialized shingles for areas like the eaves and hip and ridgelines. Owens Corning has seven lines of shingles that come in a variety of colors.
  • Breathe: Ventilation is critical to the long-term health of your roof and property. This includes the soffit, ridge and other roofing elements that ensure fresh, dry air can enter your attic and hot, humid air can escape.

At Blue Ridge Roofing, we are proud to be certified installers of Owens Corning roofing systems , giving you access to the best warranties for your new roof. Contact us today to learn more.
