How SureNail® Technology Sets Owens Corning Apart

When choosing a roofing shingle, durability, performance, and long-term value are all top priorities. That’s where Owens Corning’s SureNail® Technology stands out—and it’s one of the main reasons Craig Gouker Roofing recommends and installs Owens Corning products for homeowners throughout Western Pennsylvania.

What Is SureNail® Technology?

SureNail® is an exclusive feature built into many of Owens Corning’s Duration® Series shingles. It’s a patented reinforcement fabric embedded in the nailing area, designed to improve strength, precision, and overall roof performance.

At its core, SureNail® offers:

• A wider, clearly defined nailing strip for more accurate placement

• Triple Layer Protection® where the fabric, shingle, and laminate layers meet

• High-wind resistance of up to 130 mph with proper installation

• Enhanced grip and hold, even under tough weather conditions

Why This Matters for Homeowners

A roofing system is only as strong as its weakest point—and in most cases, that’s the fasteners. Shingles without reinforced nail zones are more vulnerable to improper installation, blow-offs, and early wear.

SureNail® Technology solves this problem by:

• Reducing installation errors – The visible fabric strip helps roofers nail in the right zone every time.

• Improving long-term performance – Shingles stay in place longer with fewer callbacks or repairs.

• Offering better protection – Especially in high-wind areas like Western PA, the added wind resistance helps protect your home and investment.
