Product Brochure

Simulates the wind force it
takes to pull the shingles off a
roof deck. Shingles with higher
nail pull-through resistance
offer better protection against
high wind.
Measures the number of nails
that are over-driven when using
the same nail gun pressure.
Over-driven nails require an
additional nail for secure
fastening, which means more
holes in your roof deck.
Tests the ability of the
shingles to resist layer
separation when heated to
180°F. Shingle delamination
can negatively impact roof
performance and aesthetics.

Owens Corning
®
architectural shingles create greater
integrity and better holding power on the roof to protect
your home. When our Oakridge
®
shingles go head-to-
head with competing products with wide, single-layer
nailing zones in three critical tests, the results are
impressive. Our products outperform in resistance
to nail pull-through, nail blow-through and delamination.
