Iron Shield Roofing Offers Owens Corning Shingles in Edmonton
Iron Shield Roofing installs Owens Corning asphalt shingles on homes across Edmonton and the surrounding region.

Who Is Owens Corning?
Owens Corning is a long-established North American building-materials manufacturer and one of the most recognized names in residential roofing — instantly identifiable by its pink branding. Its shingle range spans value architectural, impact-resistant SBS, and luxury designer profiles, backed by the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System® of underlayment, leak barrier, starter, ridge, and ventilation components.
The Owens Corning Quality Promise
Owens Corning architectural shingles are built around a few standout technologies:
- SureNail® Technology — a tough engineered fabric strip in the nailing zone for a clear nail line, triple-layer reinforcement, and 130 mph wind performance.
- SBS polymer-modified asphalt on Duration FLEX and Duration STORM for cold-weather flexibility and Class 4 impact resistance.
- TruDefinition® colour for vibrant, dimensional colour blends.
- Tru Bond® sealant (with SureNail) for a strong, wind-resistant seal.

Which Owens Corning shingle is best for Edmonton’s climate?
For most Edmonton homes, Duration FLEX is the standout. It’s an SBS polymer-modified shingle that stays flexible in deep cold and carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, addressing both freeze-thaw cracking and hail. Duration STORM is the other strong Class 4 choice, often favoured for insurance.
What is SureNail Technology?
SureNail® is a tough, engineered fabric strip woven into the nailing zone of Owens Corning’s Duration series. It gives installers a clearly defined nailing line and triple-layer reinforcement where the shingle is fastened, which is why the Duration series carries a 130 mph wind rating — improper nailing is the leading cause of blow-offs.
Does Owens Corning make a Class 4 hail-resistant shingle?
Yes. Duration FLEX and Duration STORM both use SBS (rubberized) modified asphalt to earn a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, the highest category. Class 4 roofs may qualify for an insurance discount — check with your provider.
What warranty comes with Owens Corning shingles?
Owens Corning architectural and designer shingles carry a limited lifetime warranty on single-family homes, with wind coverage up to 130 mph on the SureNail Duration series.
