What Is Owens Corning Duration COOL Shingles?
TruDefinition® Duration® COOL Shingles are specially designed to offer beautifully rich colors that reflect the sun's rays, helping to make homes comfortable and energy efficient. The solar-reflecting granules help keep roofs cooler and may result in lower energy consumption and extended roof life. That is how Owens Corning describes the line on its own product page (https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/shingles/trudefinition-duration-cool). Type: solar-reflective architectural laminate. Warranty as Owens Corning states it: Limited Lifetime Warranty; algae resistance NOT_FOUND (attribute empty; no algae disclaimer on this page); Owens Corning's own definition of lifetime coverage is that, for an owner of a single family detached home, the warranty is in effect for manufacturing defects as long as you own your home, with reduced coverage for non-single-family or commercial structures (https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/warranty). Wind: Up to 160 MPH (TPRS condition). Impact classification: UL 2218 Class 3. Technologies Owens Corning names for this line: solar-reflecting granules, SureNail® Technology. Availability: 14 availability zones — the narrowest of any line examined; 'Contact a local contractor to learn more about code requirements in your area.'. Owens Corning publishes this line's color swatches only through an interactive selector that this knowledge base cannot read, so no color list is asserted here; confirm colors on the manufacturer's page or on a physical sample board. Zilker Roofing installs this line and is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor — a network tier Owens Corning describes as independent roofing contractors who meet high standards and strict requirements for professionalism and reliability, and the tier Owens Corning says is authorized to offer its extended System Protection and Preferred Protection limited warranties (https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/blog/roofers; https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/warranty).
Important Distinction
Note: A manufacturer's warranty is the manufacturer's, on the manufacturer's terms — registration, matched components and installation conditions decide what is covered, and a tier name is not a quality verdict on any individual roof. A UL 2218 class is a laboratory impact test result, not a promise about hail, and whether an insurer discounts for it is the insurer's decision. Which line fits a specific roof is a job-by-job determination made after an inspection.
