A Shingle Built for Performance

When homeowners ask us which asphalt shingle we recommend most, the Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration is consistently at the top of our list. Here's why.

SureNail Technology

The standout feature of the Duration line is Owens Corning's patented SureNail Technology. This engineered fabric strip provides:

  • Exceptional grip in the nailing zone
  • 130 MPH wind resistance, critical for Florida homes
  • Triple Layer Protection at the nailing line
  • Visible confirmation of proper nail placement during installation
  • Color That Lasts

    TruDefinition color technology creates a more vibrant, dimensional appearance compared to standard architectural shingles. The colors remain rich and consistent for years, resisting the fading that Florida's intense sun can cause.

    Our Popular Color Choices

    Based on our installations across South Florida, the most requested Duration colors are:

  • Brownwood: warm earth tones perfect for Mediterranean-style homes
  • Onyx Black: dramatic and modern
  • Estate Gray: classic and versatile
  • Teak: rich brown with subtle blending
  • Warranty Coverage

    Duration shingles come with an industry-leading Limited Lifetime Warranty. When installed by an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor like Howler Roofing, you also receive enhanced warranty coverage including workmanship protection.
