How Owens Corning's branded components — underlayment, ice and water barrier, starter, hip and ridge, and ventilation lines — assemble into what the manufacturer markets as the Total Protection Roofing System.
What Is Owens Corning Roofing System?
Owens Corning markets an integrated asphalt roof as the Total Protection Roofing System, framed by three functions: seal, defend, and breathe. From the deck up, the sealing layers are synthetic underlayments — the ProArmor and DeckDefense lines, plus the Titanium and RhinoRoof underlayment brands Owens Corning acquired with InterWrap in 2016 — and self-adhered ice and water barriers in the WeatherLock line for eaves, valleys, and penetrations. The defending layers are the shingle courses: a Starter Strip Plus course at the eaves and rakes, the field shingles, and matching hip and ridge shingles from the ProEdge, DuraRidge, DecoRidge, RIZERidge, and ImpactRidge lines capping the peaks. The breathing layer is balanced attic ventilation through the VentSure family of ridge and intake vents. Owens Corning describes system-level limited warranty tiers — System Protection, Preferred Protection, and Platinum Protection — whose availability depends on which components are installed together and on the installing contractor's standing with the manufacturer. Generic components such as drip edge and flashing remain part of any complete installation alongside the branded layers.
Important Distinction
Note: A brand-matched system is about warranty eligibility and components designed and tested to work together — it is not a guarantee that any given roof needs every layer, and which layers a specific roof requires is a job-by-job determination. Manufacturer certification tiers describe the CONTRACTOR's standing with the manufacturer, not the quality of any individual roof.
