When it comes to roofing materials, they are not all created equal, and it takes more than just shingles to protect your home. Withstanding the forces of nature and controlling humidity and temperature inside your home takes an integrated system of components and layers. While there are many quality products on the market, the Owens Corning Roofing System is superior for several reasons .
- Integrated Roofing System. Depending on the climate in your area and other factors, the Owens Corning Roofing System offers options in intake and exhaust ventilation products, ice and water barrier products and underlayment products that all work together with your choice of shingles to provide an exceptional roof.
- Design Options. The Owens Corning Roofing System offers architectural shingles that incorporate different granule colors blended together in order to enhance texture and shadow lines that provide dimension and depth for your roof. Damage can occur when ultraviolet light hits your roof, and the ceramic-coated colored granules help protect your shingles.
- Moisture Protection. Protection from water damage is one of your roof’s primary roles. The Owens Corning Roofing System features shingles formed from fiberglass mat which is saturated with weathering-grade asphalt and then coated with mineral granules that create a water-shedding barrier for your home. These shingles also have a patented heat-activated sealant on every shingle that binds the shingles together.
- The Owens Corning Roofing System offers an unparalleled selection of warranties. Each of these warranties is designed to meet your individual needs and budget requirements. In addition to providing peace of mind to the homeowner, these warranties are able to be transferred one time.
