In this series, we’re taking a look at the Owens Corning line of asphalt shingles — and they’re one of the best, most dependable brands on the market. The goal of the series is to make it easier for homeowners like you to gain an understanding of what Owens Corning has to offer, making it easier to determine whether or not one of their asphalt shingles products is a good choice for your roof replacement.
Here’s what we’ve covered so far:
In Part 4 of our series, we’re diving into the Woodcrest wood shake style series — focusing on some of the benefits of these asphalt shingles, as well as color options and a mini gallery of photos.
RUGGED & BEAUTIFUL
Thick and durable, Woodcrest shingles also add immense curb appeal to your home. The rustic, textured appearance delivers the aesthetic of wood shake — without the maintenance. These asphalt shingles also meet the highest fire-resistance standards in the industry: Class A. Available in amazing colors that are inspired by nature.
A Note on Color Accuracy
Speaking of color, we understand that getting the shingle color right is a big part of any roofing purchase. So, no matter which asphalt roofing product you ultimately go with, be sure to choose a roofing color that’s perfect for your home, and aesthetic sensibility. Just between Owens Corning and GAF asphalt shingles there are a ton of options. Do keep in mind that it’s best to request a shingle sample before making any decisions, because computers, phones and tablets may produce color variations.
STANDARD PROTECTION LIMITED WARRANTY
Owens Corning Woodcrest shingles include an excellent standard product limited warranty, providing coverage against manufacturing defects. The warranty starts with a “TRU PROtection® Period, during the first 10 years, where coverage includes labor cost to repair/replace defective materials.” Also includes blow-off coverage for the first 15 years, and algae resistance for the first 25 years.
WIND RESISTANCE
Here in Wisconsin, it can get pretty windy, so a wind-resistant roofing system can provide great peace of mind, as well as long term savings. High-speed winds can blow shingles off a roof deck. If this occurs, missing shingles can lead to leaks, as well as additional damage to the interior of a roof and home.
Owens Corning certifies that their Woodcrest asphalt shingles meet industry recognized wind resistance standards, and can withstand winds of up to 110/130 MPH (177/209 KMH). This certification is accomplished through independent third-party testing laboratories.
ALGAE RESISTANCE PROTECTION — GUARANTEED FOR 25 YEARS*
No homeowner wants algae growth on their roof. In addition to making a home look dingy, algae can also retain moisture and cause damage to shingles as well as the underlying roofing structure.
That said, Owens Corning adds copper-lined granules into their Woodcrest shingles, and that helps resist algae growth. Their StreakGuard® Algae Resistance Protection inhibits growth of blue-green algae, and offers protection against the manifestation of black streaks on your roof.
*We are happy to provide the full warranty upon request for complete details, limitations and requirements.
