Owens Corning shingles and insulation are for homeowners replacing a roof or insulating a home. Duration and Oakridge give you shingle lines to compare, and Design EyeQ helps you picture roof colors on the house. For insulation, there’s a formaldehyde-free Thermafiber offering.
Owens Corning makes roofing, insulation and fiberglass building materials. The business began with a 1935 partnership between Owens-Illinois and Corning Glass Works. Owens-Corning Fiberglas was incorporated in 1938, based in Toledo, Ohio.
Comparing Duration and Oakridge shingles
Duration and Oakridge belong on the same shortlist. If color is driving your decision, start with Duration because Owens Corning offers a Duration Designer Color Collection. That gives you a useful starting point. Compare the documented wind and impact ratings for the exact shingles on each quote.
Owens Corning helped move roofing shingles from organic or paper reinforcement mats to fiberglass. For your own roof, judge the specific shingle alongside the installation plan. Get the shingle line, underlayment, flashing work and ventilation work written into the proposal.
Compare the written warranty terms attached to the specific shingle, including coverage and exclusions.
Choosing a roof color
Design EyeQ helps you visualize Owens Corning roof colors. Compare them against the siding, masonry and trim you’re keeping, then look at a physical sample outdoors. It’s worth taking this step on a surface that covers so much of the house.
Evergreen Mist belongs to TruDefinition Duration Designer and was named Owens Corning’s 2026 Shingle Color of the Year. Judge it beside your existing exterior finishes in daylight.
Planning the whole roof
Owens Corning lists starter shingles, hip and ridge shingles, ice and water barriers, synthetic underlayment, and intake and exhaust ventilation. Those details deserve attention alongside the field shingles. The roof proposal should account for each component where the roof design calls for it.
Choosing insulation for the space
Owens Corning’s insulation names include PINK Next Gen Fiberglas and a formaldehyde-free Thermafiber offering. If formaldehyde content matters to your material choices, Thermafiber gives you a specific option to consider. Start there for that concern.
For residential insulation, match the product’s labeled R-value and thickness to the space you’re insulating. Compressing fibrous insulation changes its installed performance. Settle the cavity depth before choosing the product.
Air sealing belongs in the plan too. Before covering accessible leaks with fibrous insulation, seal them with materials suited to each opening. During installation, fit the insulation carefully around wiring, pipes and corners so the cavity has even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Owens Corning shingles any good?
Owens Corning gives you a useful range to compare, including Duration and Oakridge, plus starter shingles and hip and ridge shingles for the roof’s edges and peaks. Whether you’re considering Duration or Oakridge, judge the complete roofing proposal: careful flashing and installation matter as much as the shingles you see.
How do you choose an Owens Corning shingle color?
Owens Corning’s Design EyeQ lets you visualize roof colors on a house. Use it to narrow your choices, then compare physical samples outdoors against the siding and trim you’re keeping. Check them in sun and shade, since a color that works in one light can look different in the other.
What are Owens Corning Duration Designer shingles?
Duration Designer is a shingle line that includes Evergreen Mist, named the 2026 Shingle Color of the Year. Evergreen Mist is the color choice within that line, so keep both the line and color written together on your roofing proposal to make the selection clear.
What is Owens Corning FOAMULAR insulation?
FOAMULAR is polystyrene insulation, a different material from fiberglass insulation. When you’re planning insulation work, include air sealing in the job too: insulating a space and closing the paths where air leaks through are separate tasks.
