An Integrated Roofing System, Layer by Protective Layer

It takes more than just shingles to protect your home. It takes an integrated system of components and layers designed to withstand the forces of nature outside while controlling temperature and humidity inside. The Owens Corning™ Total Protection Roofing System™§ gives you the assurance that all of your Owens Corning™ roofing components are working together to help increase the performance of your roof – and to enhance the comfort and enjoyment of those who live beneath it. See how the Total Protection Roofing System™§ works with our interactive guide.

The Owens Corning™ Total Protection Roofing System™§ VentSure® Soffit or InFlow™ Intake Ventilation Products

When used with the proper exhaust ventilation, Owens Corning™ VentSure® intake ventilation products help replace the warm, humid air in your attic with cool, dry air to help protect the interior components of your roof system from heat and moisture damage. They also help keep the attic temperature closer to the outside temperature to help eliminate problems such as ice damming, which can cause premature shingle deterioration.

WeatherLock® Self-Sealing Ice & Water Barrier Products

Owens Corning™ WeatherLock® Self-Sealing Ice & Water Barrier products are designed to protect the roof where water has a tendency to collect or flow, including valleys, vents, chimneys and skylights. Ice and water barrier products also help prevent damage from ice damming, when melting and refreezing water can migrate beneath the shingles and lead to premature roof deterioration.

Owens Corning™ Underlayment Products

Underlayment provides an additional layer of protection between your roof’s wood decking and the shingles, mainly to guard against wind-driven rain that can get beneath the shingles. Owens Corning™ roofing products include both Fiberglas™ Reinforced Felt Underlayment and durable synthetic DECK DEFENSE® High Performance Roofing Underlayment.

Owens Corning™ Starter Shingle Products

Owens Corning™ Starter Shingle products are the first step in the proper installation of the shingles. They help to provide a clean look with a straight edge at the eave and along the rake edge of the roof. The continuous sealant bead on the product provides a seal between the starter and the first row of shingles. Owens Corning™ Starter Shingle products help prevent shingle blow-offs and water infiltration in a vulnerable area of the roof.

Owens Corning™ Shingles

Shingles not only serve as the first layer of defense against the forces of nature, they also help define the character of your home. With innovations such as our patented SureNail® Technology and the multiple granule colors and shadowing used in our TruDefinition® Duration® Shingles, Owens Corning™ shingles are designed to bring strength and beauty to your roof.

VentSure® Exhaust Ventilation Products

Owens Corning™ exhaust ventilation components such as VentSure® ridge or off-ridge vents help draw air out of the attic, protecting the roofing system from heat and moisture damage. Optimally designed to work together with our VentSure® intake ventilation products, they help create a balanced flow where warm, humid air is continuously replaced by cool, dry air.

Owens Corning™ Hip & Ridge Shingles

Owens Corning™ Hip & Ridge Shingles add an attractive, finished look to your roof. They also provide additional protection. Owens Corning Roofing offers a variety of styles designed to match and complement our shingles.
