Owens Corning — the Duration lineup, and what Platinum Preferred gets you.
Duration, Duration Designer, and Duration STORM: the three Owens Corning shingle lines Atrium installs most, the technology built into each, and the certification that makes the enhanced system warranty available.
Atrium holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred
The top tier of the Owens Corning contractor network — limited by territory, not open to anyone who applies.
Platinum Preferred carries training, insurance, financial-stability, and customer-satisfaction requirements, and installed work is subject to audit. It is granted at the company level, it is verifiable in Owens Corning's own contractor directory, and it can be withdrawn. For the full explanation of why that matters more in a state with no roofing license, see our brands and certifications page.
The three lines we install most
Owens Corning makes more than these three, but these are the ones that show up on Atrium proposals.
Owens Corning's baseline architectural shingle, and the one specified on our FOUNDATION™ system. Built with patented SureNail® Technology — a reinforced fabric strip in the nailing zone designed for stronger holding power — and StreakGuard® protection against blue-green algae staining. UL 2218 Class 3 impact-rated.
See it on FOUNDATION™The same Duration construction and SureNail® Technology, built on Owens Corning's TruDefinition® color platform — a blended-granule process designed for deeper contrast and dimension than a single-tone shingle. This is the line homeowners reach for when color is the deciding factor.
The Class 4 step up, specified on our IMPACTSHIELD™ system. Same SureNail® platform and construction as Duration, built to the UL 2218 Class 4 impact standard — the highest documented tier the standard assigns.

Owens Corning's color offering changes by region and season. We bring current physical swatches to your in-home consultation rather than relying on a color name alone — a screen doesn't render a granule blend accurately.
The manufacturer's warranty first. Ours underneath it.
A manufacturer-backed system warranty ranks above any contractor's own warranty for one reason: it survives the contractor. If a roofing company closes, changes hands, or simply stops answering the phone, a warranty backed by Owens Corning or GAF is still honored. A contractor's warranty is only worth as much as the contractor still being in business, and that is as true of ours as it is of anyone's.
Atrium holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, the top tier of the Owens Corning contractor network, which makes the enhanced Owens Corning system warranty available on our installs. We also hold GAF Certified Plus, which makes the GAF Silver Pledge available. These system warranties cover material and, at these tiers, workmanship, and they are registered with the manufacturer in your name.
Duration, Duration Designer, and Duration STORM installs
All three are eligible for the Enhanced Owens Corning system warranty, available at Platinum Preferred standing. These are contractor-certification-tier warranties, not shingle-tier ones, so the ceiling is the same across all three lines — it's Atrium's Platinum Preferred standing that matters, not which shingle is on the roof. The tier-by-tier detail is on our brands and certifications page.
Atrium's workmanship layer
Atrium backs every roof replacement with a written 10-year workmanship warranty. It is non-prorated, so coverage in year ten is identical to year one, and it is fully transferable to the next owner. If a covered installation defect appears, we cover the labor and the materials to correct it.
The warranty covers the roof replacement we performed. It is our installation of your new roof system that carries the ten years.
It covers our installation, and that is all it covers. It is not insurance and it does nothing for hail, wind, or anything else an insurance claim would handle. The manufacturer's warranty on the shingles themselves is a separate document.
Whichever warranty applies to your system is registered in your name and delivered as part of the Power Package — the five documents every Atrium customer receives at closeout.
