Owens Corning Duration
Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles — 25–30 year performance with SureNail technology, 130 mph wind rating, Class 3 impact resistance, and a 50-year limited warranty. A consistently specified shingle for Minnesota residential roofing.
Minnesota performance
How Owens Corning Duration performs in Minnesota
The 130 mph wind rating and Class 3 impact resistance address the two main weather risks for central Minnesota roofs — hail season from May through September and the wind exposure common on lake-country and open-farmland sites. SureNail technology provides a wider nailing zone that reduces installation-related wind uplift failures, relevant in our freeze-thaw climate where improper nailing becomes evident within a few seasons.

Why we recommend it
Best for homeowners who want a balanced architectural shingle from one of the most-installed lines in North America.
Minnesota fit
SureNail technology and the 130 mph wind rating hold up through the wind events common on open central Minnesota sites and around Mille Lacs Lake. Class 3 impact resistance handles the hail frequency typical of our storm corridor without the premium cost of a Class 4 upgrade.
Colors and curb appeal
Wide color palette spanning warm brown blends, cool weathered grays, and charcoal tones — covers most standard residential styles from traditional cape cod to contemporary.
