What Is Owens Corning Duration STORM Shingles?
Unlike standard shingles, TruDefinition® Duration STORM® impact-resistant shingles feature patented WeatherGuard® Technology. The integrated polymeric backing material of the WeatherGuard® Technology allows Duration STORM® shingles to meet one of the industry's highest ratings for impact resistance, UL 2218, Class 4. That is how Owens Corning describes the line on its own product page (https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/shingles/trudefinition-duration-storm). Type: architectural laminate, impact-resistant. Warranty as Owens Corning states it: Limited Lifetime Warranty; algae resistance 25 Years; Corresponding Hip & Ridge Shingles are required to complete UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Resistant Roof System for warranty coverage; 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 4 (FM 4473 Class 4). Technologies Owens Corning names for this line: WeatherGuard® Technology (integrated polymeric backing), SureNail® Technology, non-SBS. 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.
