How long do TruDefinition Duration shingles last?
When properly installed as part of a complete Owens Corning Roofing System, TruDefinition Duration shingles typically last 25–30+ years. Their longevity depends on attic ventilation, local weather conditions, and proper installation.
Are Duration shingles the same as Duration Designer?
Not exactly.
Both use the TruDefinition® color platform and SureNail® Technology, but:
- Duration → Best all-around performance and value
- Duration Designer → Enhanced color depth, richer contrast, and a more premium architectural look
Designer is the aesthetic upgrade, while standard Duration focuses on balanced performance and affordability.
Can these shingles withstand Michigan winters?
Yes. Duration® shingles are engineered with SureNail reinforcement for exceptional fastening strength, a major advantage during freeze–thaw cycles, high winds, and heavy snow loads. When installed as a full roofing system, they are rated for winds up to 130 mph, making them an excellent fit for Michigan’s climate.
Does RoofAdvisor register my warranty?
Yes. RoofAdvisor registers all eligible Owens Corning warranties on your behalf after installation. This ensures your coverage is active, documented, and tied directly to your property, giving you long-term protection without the paperwork.
