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.

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.
