When it comes to roofing, durability isn’t just about surviving a storm—it’s about lasting for decades, protecting your investment, and maintaining energy efficiency through the harshest Alabama weather. That’s why 1 Stop Roofing and Exteriors proudly uses Owens Corning roofing systems—a brand that’s not just trusted but constantly innovating. Owens Corning has set a new benchmark for roofing durability, and homeowners across North Alabama are seeing the difference.
Let’s take a closer look at the technology behind their success—and why it matters for your home.
🧱 Built for Strength: The Power of SureNail® Technology
Owens Corning’s SureNail® Technology is one of the biggest advances in modern roofing. Each shingle features a reinforced nailing strip engineered for exceptional grip and wind resistance. This strip provides:
-
Triple-layer reinforcement where nails are placed—critical for preventing blow-offs.
-
Consistent fastener placement, ensuring shingles stay tight and aligned.
-
Up to 130 MPH wind performance rating, perfect for Alabama’s unpredictable storms.
In short, SureNail keeps shingles locked in place when others might tear or lift. That’s real peace of mind for homeowners facing high winds and heavy rain throughout the year.
☀️ Advanced WeatherGuard® & Fiberglass Mat Protection
The Owens Corning roofing system uses a proprietary fiberglass mat that provides superior strength without adding unnecessary weight. Combined with WeatherGuard® Technology, these shingles resist cracking, splitting, and delamination from temperature swings.
This is especially important in Alabama’s climate, where roofs endure both intense summer heat and rapid cool-downs during storms. The result? A roofing system that holds up year after year—with less warping, less granule loss, and fewer repairs.
💧 Total Protection Roofing System®
Durability isn’t just about shingles—it’s about the entire system working together. Owens Corning developed its Total Protection Roofing System® to ensure every layer plays a part:
-
Seal: Ice and water barriers protect against wind-driven rain and moisture.
-
Defend: Durable shingles and underlayments shield your home from the elements.
-
Breathe: Proper ventilation helps balance attic temperatures and prevent moisture buildup.
By combining sealing, defending, and breathing components, homeowners get complete coverage from the deck up—protection that goes beyond what typical single-layer roofs can offer.
🔬 Innovation in Testing & Longevity
Owens Corning continually tests its products to exceed ASTM and UL industry standards. Their roofing materials undergo impact, wind, and temperature cycling tests that simulate years of wear in just weeks.
That rigorous approach results in products that last longer, age slower, and perform better—even after constant exposure to Alabama’s humidity, UV rays, and storms.
🌿 Sustainability Meets Strength
Durability doesn’t have to come at an environmental cost. Owens Corning has invested heavily in sustainable manufacturing:
-
Up to 33% recycled content in many shingles.
-
Energy-efficient production plants with reduced carbon output.
-
Recyclable materials designed to reduce landfill waste.
This balance of strength and sustainability reflects a future-focused approach that aligns perfectly with 1 Stop Roofing’s own commitment to responsible construction and long-term value.
