SEE THE STRIP. TRUST THE GRIP. The SureNail

Technology grip helps deliver exceptional 130-MPH wind

warranty* performance — that’s a Category 3 hurricane

wind speed.*** This outstanding grip is made possible

through the combination of our SureNail fabric strip

and our proprietary Tru-Bond

sealant. SureNail helps

provide double the bond strength compared to standard

architectural shingles.

BE SURE WITH SURENAIL

TECHNOLOGY. Ask your

rooﬁng professional to install Duration Series Shingles

with SureNail Technology. Nine out of ten contractors in a

recent survey said they felt SureNail Technology gave better

uplift protection than standard shingles. You’ll have peace

of mind knowing your rooﬁng professional used the widest

reinforced nailing zone for installation and that once your

shingles go down, they’ll resist the forces of nature. When

you see the strip, you know that strength and durability are

built into every shingle.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT THE

NAILING LINE? Even the best shingle can’t perform

right if it’s not installed properly. And your shingles may not

even be covered under the warranty if they aren’t fastened

in the right place. Owens Corning has the ﬁrst and only

reinforced nailing zone on the face of the shingle. The

tough-fabric SureNail strip provides an easy-to-see nailing

target on all Duration Series Shingles. How can you be sure

your contractor is fastening your shingles correctly? Well,

seeing the patented SureNail Technology strip is a big start!

THERE’S A LINE BETWEEN A GOOD SHINGLE AND A GREAT SHINGLE.

IT’S THE NAILING LINE ON YOUR SHINGLES.

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.

SEE FOR YOURSELF. Ask your contractor to show you the embedded strength

of the reinforced nailing zone. Some shingles have confusing thin, hard-to-see,

painted-on nailing lines – not Duration Series Shingles with SureNail Technology.

This tough, engineered woven-fabric strip

is embedded in the shingle to create an

easy-to-see strong, durable fastener zone.

Patented SureNail

Technology** is the

ﬁrst and only reinforced nailing zone

on the face of the shingle.

A unique “triple layer” of reinforcement

occurs when the fabric overlays the two

shingle layers, called the common bond

area. This provides increased protection

against “nail pull” from the wind.

SureNail features up to a 200% wider

common bond area in the nailing zone

over standard shingles.
