WHAT MAKES DURATION FLEX SHINGLES SPECIAL?
-
Class 4 Impact Resistance:
Class 4 impact resistance in roofing shingles represents the highest level of durability. To achieve a Class 4 rating, the shingle must withstand the impact from a 2-inch steel ball dropped 20 feet. Installing Class 4 impact resistant shingles not only gives you superior protection against the elements. It can also lead to savings on your home insurance premiums.
-
Class A Fire Resistance:
Class A fire resistant roof shingles must resist flame penetration and limit the spread of fire across the roof surface. Class A fire rated shingles can withstand between 30-120 minutes of severe fire exposure before they ignite. Many insurance companies offer discounts on your premiums when you use fire resistant roofing materials. -
130 MPH Wind Resistance:
Owens Corning Duration FLEX shingles are engineered to offer exceptional durability and performance in high winds. Their standout features is the 130 MPH wind resistance rating, which is supported by a limited warranty when the shingles are properly installed.
Owens Corning's patented SureNail technology enhances the grip of each shingle, making them less likely to be dislodged during high wind events. The proprietary blend of SBS polymer-modified asphalt ensures they remain flexible and resistant under intense storm conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Duration and Duration FLEX shingles both have use Owens Corning’s patented TruDefinition color technology to preserve your roof’s vibrant colors. But Duration FLEX shingles use a proprietary rubberized asphalt blend that gives them greater flexibility.
Because they are more pliable, Duration FLEX shingles have a greater resistance to impacts from hailstones or branches. They can absorb blows that would crack a more brittle shingle.

Your Duration FLEX roof comes with a warranty of up to 30 years on materials. The actual life of your new roof will depend on a few factors.
- Storms and Accidents: A downed tree or bad storm can leave you with a seriously damaged roof. Duration FLEX shingles are among the toughest out there, but there are some things that even the toughest roof can’t handle.
- Installation: A poorly done roof installation will lead to problems almost immediately. Sloppy attic ventilation will lead to overheated shingles in summer and winter ice dams.
- Maintenance: Clogged gutters interfere with the flow of water down your roof pitch to the drain spout. This can lead to water damage on the roof deck and eaves. If your home is in need of a roof inspection, give County Roofing Systems a call.
- Enhanced Wind Resistance: The reinforced nailing strip ensures that the shingles are securely fastened, providing superior resistance to wind uplift. This makes the shingles capable of withstanding high wind speeds, ensuring that they stay in place during severe weather conditions.
- Improved Installation: The woven fabric strip provides a clear, reinforced nailing zone, which helps installers achieve precise and consistent nailing. This not only speeds up the installation process but also reduces the likelihood of errors that could compromise the roof’s integrity.
- Durability and Longevity: By enhancing the shingle’s fastening strength, SureNail Technology helps prevent blow-offs and shingle damage, contributing to the overall longevity and durability of the roof. This technology is particularly beneficial in regions like Long Island which are prone to extreme weather.
