How SureNail® Technology Sets Owens Corning Apart

When it comes to protecting your home, your roof is your first line of defense. That’s why Craig Gouker Roofing proudly installs Owens Corning® roofing products, known for their durability, beauty, and advanced technology. One of the standout features that sets Owens Corning apart from the competition is SureNail® Technology—a patented innovation that delivers exceptional strength and performance.

Whether you're building new or replacing an old roof, understanding the value of SureNail can help you make a confident, long-term investment in your home.

What Is SureNail® Technology?

SureNail® Technology is a unique feature found in Owens Corning’s TruDefinition® Duration® Series shingles. It includes a reinforced nailing zone with a specially engineered fabric strip embedded into the shingle. This strip provides a clearly visible nailing area and delivers outstanding grip and holding power.

This isn't just a marketing gimmick—it's a real advantage on the roof.

The SureNail® Advantage

✔️ Unmatched Holding Power

SureNail offers triple-layer protection in the nailing zone, allowing for superior fastener retention. This creates a stronger, more secure installation that holds tight even in high winds.

💨 Wind Resistance Up to 130 MPH

Thanks to SureNail, Owens Corning Duration shingles can withstand winds of up to 130 miles per hour—an essential feature for homeowners in Western Pennsylvania where seasonal storms and gusty conditions are common.

🧰 Easier, More Accurate Installation

Roofing crews benefit from the clearly marked nailing zone, reducing installation errors and improving overall quality. A better installation means a longer-lasting roof for you.

🔒 Peace of Mind with Proven Performance

Independent testing has shown that SureNail outperforms competitors’ shingles in key durability metrics. It’s one of the reasons Owens Corning shingles are trusted by homeowners and roofers alike.
