Duration Premium: The ADC Roofing Deep Dive

The Owens Corning Duration Premium shingle line elevates the standard for asphalt roofing, combining impressive durability with a distinct aesthetic. Featuring the advanced performance of patented SureNail® Technology, these shingles are designed for superior holding power and wind resistance, critical attributes for roofing in the storm-prone DFW metroplex. The SureNail strip ensures a strong, uniform seal, helping the roof withstand the significant uplift forces experienced during high winds associated with our regional weather patterns. Rated Class 3 for Impact Resistance, Duration Premium shingles offer a reliable degree of protection against common hail events. While DFW homeowners often face severe weather, this rating provides a robust defense for many storm scenarios, potentially reducing claims frequency. The bold, dimensional appearance adds significant curb appeal, an important factor for property value and adherence to aesthetic standards in many DFW HOAs. ADC Roofing's installation protocols for Duration Premium shingles strictly follow Owens Corning's specifications, including the critical 6-nail fastening within the SureNail zone. This precise method is fundamental to achieving the stated 130 MPH wind resistance and ensuring the Limited Lifetime Warranty remains valid. Our crews prioritize meticulous workmanship to maximize the longevity and performance of every roof we install. Furthermore, beginning January 1, 2024, Duration Premium shingles now include Algae Resistance. This is a significant enhancement for DFW, where humidity contributes to algae growth, leading to unsightly black streaks. This feature helps preserve the roof's appearance over time, reducing maintenance concerns for homeowners. The combination of enhanced aesthetics, impact resistance, and superior wind performance makes Duration Premium a strong contender for discerning property owners in North Texas.

Why Duration Premium Fits DFW Roofs

With Class 3 Impact Resistance and 130 MPH wind rating, these shingles are well-suited for DFW's challenging weather. The new algae resistance feature (effective 01/01/2024) is a valuable addition for our humid climate, helping roofs maintain their appearance for HOA compliance.

How ADC Installs Duration Premium

ADC Roofing installs Duration Premium shingles with strict adherence to the SureNail Technology guidelines, utilizing 6-nail fastening per shingle. This precise installation optimizes wind resistance and ensures the shingle's Limited Lifetime Warranty is fully honored.

Duration Premium — Frequently Asked Questions

Q.How does SureNail Technology benefit these shingles in DFW windstorms?

SureNail Technology provides a wide, highly visible fabric strip in the nailing zone, creating a strong, durable bond. This significantly enhances the shingle's resistance to blow-offs during the high winds common in DFW, reinforcing its 130 MPH wind rating.

Q.Do these shingles come with algae resistance for the DFW climate?

Yes, for Duration Premium Shingles manufactured effective January 1, 2024, they now include Algae Resistance. This is beneficial for DFW, as it combats the black streaks caused by algae, helping your roof maintain its aesthetic appeal over time.

Q.Is the Class 3 Impact Resistance rating adequate for DFW hail season?

Class 3 Impact Resistance offers solid protection against many hail events experienced in DFW. While Class 4 provides the highest level of impact resistance, Class 3 is a robust option that meets typical building code requirements and provides good resilience.
