10 shingle specs we look for
These are the practical shingle qualities we evaluate when selecting Owens Corning asphalt shingles for roof replacement and shingle roofing projects.
-
Laminated architectural construction. Multi-layer shingle design for dimensional appearance and added strength compared with traditional three-tab shingles.

Ceramic-coated granules. Surface granules help protect the shingle from UV exposure while supporting the selected color blend.

System-first installation
The shingle is only one part of the roof
We look beyond the surface material so the finished roof has the right supporting details for the property.
- Roof decking condition is checked before new materials are installed.
- Underlayment and flashing are matched to the roof layout and water-shedding details.
- Ventilation is reviewed to help the roofing system perform as intended.
- Roof penetrations such as vents and pipes are detailed carefully to reduce leak risk.
