Limited Warranty
This warranty includes limitations on its transferability.
4. Exceptions—All of Owens Corning’s obligation of Compensation under this warranty
(whether for repair, replacement, recover or refunding a prorated portion of the cost
of the defective Roofing System components are subject to the limitations provided
by this warranty. Any replacement Owens Corning products will be warranted only
for the remainder of the original warranty period. Owens Corning will not provide
compensation for any underlayment, metalwork, flashings or other related work, and
we will not compensate for the cost to remove or dispose of your Roofing System.
5. What About Wind Resistance —Your shingles and Hip & Ridge (the Shingle Products)
contain asphalt sealant that requires direct warm sunlight for several days (Thermal
Sealing) in order to seal properly. If your Shingle Products are installed during a period
of cool weather, they may not adequately seal until the season changes or the weather
warms, and if your Shingle Products never receive direct sunlight or are not exposed to
adequate surface temperatures, they may never achieve Thermal Sealing. Prior to your
shingles achieving Thermal Sealing, your Shingle Products are more vulnerable to blow-
offs and wind damage. This is the fundamental nature of Shingle Products and not a
manufacturing defect, and we are not responsible for any blow-offs or wind damage
that might occur prior to Thermal Sealing having occurred. After your Shingle Products
have achieved Thermal Sealing, however, they will be covered under this warranty if they
experience blow-offs or wind damage in winds (including gusts) up to the levels and for
the period from the original installation date (“Wind Warranty Period”) listed in the
“Limited Warranty Information Table” listed in the chart at the end of this warranty.
HOWEVER, THE COVERAGE AGAINST SHINGLE PRODUCT BLOW-OFFS OR
WIND DAMAGE IS IN EFFECT FOR A PERIOD OF 15 YEARS FROM THE
ORIGINAL DATE OF INSTALLATION. Owens Corning will be liable only for the
reasonable cost of replacing blown-off Shingle Products (to include material and
labor during the applicable TRU PROtection
®
warranty period) and the reasonable
cost of manually sealing the unsealed Shingle Products remaining on the roof.
Owens Corning is not responsible where the damage or blow-offs are caused by
damage to the underlying structure.
6. What About Algae Resistance—If the Shingle Products that you purchased were not
specifically labeled as “Algae Resistant” (AR), then any discoloration caused by algae is
not covered by this warranty as explained in the section below, “What Is Not Covered”
below. However, if you did purchase AR Shingle Products, they are covered for the period
described in the “Limited Warranty Information Table” at the end of this warranty following
the date of installation (“AR Warranty Period”) against brown-black staining caused due to
growth of cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa magma algae. We do not cover the effects of other
growth such as mold, lichen, and green algae. If brown-black staining occurs during the
AR Warranty Period, you will be entitled to the following remedy:
A. Remedy for Algae Growth—If your AR Shingle Products are discolored due to
cyanobacteria algae growth during the first year of the AR Warranty Period, we will
compensate you for the cost, including labor (such cost not to exceed the cost of the
AR Shingle Products plus the cost of installation), as reasonably determined by
Owens Corning, to repair, replace or recover the affected AR Shingle Products. For
purposes of this AR Shingle Products warranty, the term “repair” as used above refers
to cleaning or otherwise removing any algae growth from affected AR Shingle
Products. Decisions regarding whether your AR Shingle Products should be repaired,
replaced or recovered will be made solely by Owens Corning.
B. Proration—If your AR Shingle Products have been installed longer than 1 year, labor will
not be covered and compensation will be limited to a prorated amount of the cost of
the affected AR shingles. We will prorate your compensation to take into account the
number of full years of use that you have enjoyed from the original installation date
through the date of your claim. For example: If you make your claim anytime in the 4th
year of the AR warranty and the AR Warranty Period is 10 years, our compensation to
you will be the amount of the cost of the affected Owens Corning
®
AR Shingle
Products reduced by 3/10ths of the cost of the affected AR Shingle Products).
Transferability of This Warranty (Note: Based on Original Installation Date)
This warranty is not transferable except as follows: You may only transfer this warranty 1
time, anytime during the life of the warranty to the purchasers of the structure on which the
shingles are installed. For this warranty to transfer and the second Owner to obtain the
benefits of this warranty, the second Owner must within 60 days after the date of the real
estate transfer contact 1-800-ROOFING and submit together (1) proof of purchase of the
Owens Corning
®
Roofing System; and (2) the installation date and ownership history.
(1) If the transfer takes place within the TRU PROtection
®
Nonprorated period (see
“Limited Warranty Information Table”), the second Owner is entitled to the same
coverage as the original Owner.
