Owens Corning is one of the two most recognized roofing brands in the country and a staple on Connecticut job sites. International Building Supply stocks Owens Corning shingles at our Naugatuck yard.
Owens Corning's Duration series is their most popular architectural shingle line and the one most Connecticut roofing contractors reach for. The reason it holds up in the trade is the nailing zone. Owens Corning engineered a reinforced fabric strip into the shingle that gives installers a clearly defined area to nail through. That matters in practice because improper nailing is one of the most common causes of shingle blow-offs during Connecticut storms. A shingle that installs correctly and consistently holds better and reduces callbacks.
The Duration line also handles wind well. The architectural construction is thicker and heavier than three-tab shingles, which makes it harder for wind to get underneath and lift them. For coastal Connecticut properties or homes in exposed locations in Litchfield County, that's a meaningful performance difference.
Owens Corning puts real effort into their color development and it shows. Their architectural shingles use a multi-granule color approach that creates depth and shadow lines across the roof rather than a flat uniform tone. The result looks significantly better than standard shingles on a finished home and is worth looking at in person before making a final selection.
