What Is Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Shingles?
When you want the ultimate protection and impressive curb appeal, you'll want Duration® Shingles. They are specially formulated on a TruDefinition® color platform that gives them dramatic color contrast and dimension in a wide range of popular colors. Beyond the great look, Duration® Shingles are Rated Class 3 for Impact Resistance and come with the advanced performance of patented SureNail® Technology—with Triple Layer Protection® in the nailing zone for superior holding power. That is how Owens Corning describes the line on its own product page (https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/shingles/trudefinition-duration). Type: architectural laminate. Warranty as Owens Corning states it: Limited Lifetime Warranty; algae resistance 25 Years; 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 (condition: TPRS components + starter on eaves and rakes). Impact classification: UL 2218 Class 3 (FM 4473 Class 3). Technologies Owens Corning names for this line: SureNail® Technology with Triple Layer Protection®, TruDefinition® color platform. Specifications published on the product page: 13 1/4" x 39 3/8"; 5 5/8" exposure; 3 bundles per square. 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. On the question of a 'Weatherwood' color: Owens Corning's own pages do not publish a color named Weatherwood or Weathered Wood for any Duration line that this knowledge base could read. 'Weatherwood' (one word) is a color IKO publishes for its Cambridge shingle, and 'Weathered Wood' (two words) is a color Malarkey publishes for Highlander, Vista, Legacy and Windsor — so a request for 'Duration in Weatherwood' is most likely a color name from another brand, and the nearest Duration color is a sample-board decision made at the inspection, not a name this page will guess. 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.
