High-temperature self-adhering underlayment

Owens Corning patented SureNail® Technology is the first and only reinforced nailing zone on the face of shingles.

SureNail delivers a limited warranty for 130-mph wind performance with fewer nails, two times the common bond area of standard shingles and an easy-to-see target area for "no-guess" nailing.
