SureNail Technology®
Only Duration® Series Shingles feature SureNail® Technology
It’s easy to see the patented SureNail® Technology exclusively on Duration® Series shingles. It’s the wide, highly visible engineered fabric in the nailing area. SureNail® Technology helps create a clear, reinforced target for nailing shingles with ease.
The way your shingles get fastened to the roof deck is a critical step in their long-term performance. Not only does this technology enable accurate shingle nailing for consistent, quality installation, but it also creates Triple Layer Protection® for industry-leading performance. We’re talking up to 9x better at resisting nail blow through and up to 2x better delamination resistance.* Plus, Duration Series shingles have strong high wind performance with up to 2.5x better nail pull-through resistance.*
THERE’S A LINE BETWEEN A GOOD SHINGLE AND A GREAT SHINGLE.®
And that line is the nailing line. The difference between a good shingle and a great shingle is having SureNail® Technology, only available from Owens Corning on Duration® Series Shingles. Patented SureNail® Technology features a wide, highly visible engineered fabric strip in the nailing area for a consistent, quality installation, and the unique product design provides outstanding gripping power.
Owens Corning® architectural shingles are built for strength where it matters most—on your roof. Duration® Series Shingles have been put to the test against top competitors in three key performance areas, and the results speak for themselves:
- Nail pull-through resistance
- Nail blow-through resistance
- Delamination resistance

What is Algae Growth?
Algae species are naturally occurring and transported through the air to attach themselves to shingles and other surfaces. While algae growth can cause brown or black streaks on roofs, it doesn’t impact the performance of your shingles.
Streaks caused by algae growth are:
- More common in warm, humid climates but can occur in all regions of the country.
- Owens Corning® has continued to advance our algae resistance protection based on over 30 years of testing and experience.
- Shingles with StreakGuard® Algae Resistance Protection can help inhibit the growth of blue-green algae4.
SureNail® Technology is designed to improve accuracy and strength when nailing roof shingles. Our unique patented tape creates a clearly defined shingle nail line for more precise installation. This innovation helps ensure consistent, high-quality shingle nailing.
Benefits of SureNail® Technology for Homeowners:
- Reliable installation that helps protect your home from the start.
- Strong, wind-resistant design for peace of mind in severe weather.
- Better seal and durability to help prevent shingle damage over time.
- Backed by testing from Owens Corning, a brand homeowners and contractors trust.
1. Excellent Adhesive Power
Helps keep the shingle layers laminated.
2. Outstanding Grip
The SureNail® strip enhances the already amazing grip of our proprietary Tru-Bond®† sealant for exceptional wind resistance of up to a 130-MPH wind warranty††.
3. Breakthrough Design
Patented SureNail® Technology+ is the first and only reinforced nailing zone on the face of the shingle.
“No Guess” Wide Nailing Zone
This tough, engineered woven-fabric strip is embedded in the shingle to create an easy-to-see strong, durable fastener zone.
4. Triple Layer Protection®++
A unique “triple layer” of reinforcement occurs when the fabric overlays the two shingle layers, called the common bond area. This area provides increased protection against “nail pull” from the wind.
Double the Common Bond
SureNail® features up to a 200% wider common bond area in the nailing zone over standard shingles.
Nailing Zone Performance
Owens Corning® Duration® Series Shingles outperform where it matters most: the nailing zone. The nailing zone is the area on a shingle where fasteners are placed during installation. Properly nailing shingles within the nailing zone supports long-term roof performance. Compared to competitive shingles with wide, single-layer nailing zones, our architectural shingles help provide:
- Outstanding resistance to high winds
- Deterrence from water infiltration
- Keeping the shingle layers from separating
