CertainTeed Roofing - Steep Slope

CertainTeed is a leading U.S. manufacturer of low slope and steep slope roofing products for commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential roofing and waterproofing applications. CertainTeed has served the roofing industry for 100 years, establishing a solid reputation for quality, reliability, and technical innovation.

Fifteen or twenty years ago, with fewer shingles on the market and little variation between them, it was relatively simple to choose the best shingle for the job. That is no longer the case.

Today, the available array of shingle styles, colors, and materials is matched only by your imagination. CertainTeed is proud to be at the forefront of this new era. An era where technology and style work hand in hand to produce beautiful and lasting results.

When a roof can account for as much as 40% of the average home's exterior, many factors weigh into the choice of materials. Some surfaces are more beautiful than others. Some offer greater resilience or endurance. Some are more affordable. But the one roofing surface which offers all those attributes in balance is the asphalt shingle.

Now accounting for about 80% of the residential roof surfacing in the United States, asphalt shingles are measured against a variety of standards that evaluate fire and wind resistance, tear strength, and other key performance indicators. For fiberglass shingles, ASTM D3462 is considered the most important.

This comprehensive standard covers tear strength, nail-pull resistance and pliability, among other shingle characteristics.

Over 20 CertainTeed fiberglass shingles are independently certified by Underwriters' Laboratories to meet the tough ASTM D3462 standard.

All of CertainTeed’s shingle products are covered by standard SureStart^™ protection for a specified period. Under this warranty feature, CertainTeed, at no charge, will repair or replace, at its option, any shingles proven to be defective during the applicable SureStart period (see actual warranty for details).

CertainTeed also offers SureStart PLUS, the strongest extended warranty coverage in the industry, which extends the coverage AND duration of the standard SureStart protection when a credentialed contractor installs an Integrity Roof System^™ . Protect your investment and your home—demand The Integrity Roof System, demand a credentialed contractor, and demand SureStart PLUS.
