Limited Warranty on Hip & Ridge Shingle Products

Limitations on the transferability of this warranty are set forth herein.

Introduction

Thank you for your recent purchase of Owens Corning Rooﬁng and

Asphalt, LLC (Owens Corning) Hip & Ridge shingle product. We believe we

sell the highest quality and most attractive rooﬁng products and systems

available anywhere, and that is why we stand behind them with one of the

best warranties in the industry. We have attempted to write this warranty in

clear, plain-English terms, including the limitations and restrictions, so you

will fully understand the warranty we are making to you. However, the

terms contained herein are subject to change without notice. If anything in

this warranty is not clear to you, please call us at 1-800-ROOFING or visit

our Web site at www.owenscorning.com/rooﬁng.

Who is Covered

To be eligible for this limited warranty, your property must be located in the

United States or Canada and you must be the original consumer purchaser

(i.e., the property owner, not the installer or contractor), or the ﬁrst

transferee from the original consumer purchaser (Owner) of one of our

Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products listed at the end of this

warranty, you are entitled to the beneﬁts of this warranty.

What Is Covered

We warrant that your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products are

free from any manufacturing defects which materially affect their

performance on your roof during the applicable warranty period.

How Long Are You Covered

If you’ve installed Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products

with Owens Corning

Rooﬁng Shingles: The length of the warranty

depends on the type of Owens Corning

shingles installed on your

property. See the chart at the end of this warranty for the speciﬁc warranty

period that applies to your shingles installed. If the only Owens Corning

Rooﬁng product installed is Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingles

(not in conjunction with Owens Corning

shingles), we warranty that your

Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle product is free from manufacturing

defects when manufactured. Owens Corning shall have no liability for any

product failures and/or damage caused by improper installation or any

other cause other than manufacturing defects. Should the product prove to

be other than as warranted, Owens Corning’s sole and exclusive liability

shall be limited as described within the Compensation section herein.

• What About Wind Resistance

Your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products contain asphalt

sealant that requires direct warm sunlight for several days (Thermal

Sealing) in order to seal properly. If your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge

shingle products are installed during a period of cool weather, they may

not adequately seal until the season changes or the weather warms, and

if your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products never receive

direct sunlight or are not exposed to adequate surface temperatures,

they may never achieve Thermal Sealing. Prior to Thermal Sealing, your

Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products are more vulnerable to

blow-offs and wind damage. This is the fundamental nature of hip &

ridge shingles and not a manufacturing defect, and we are not

responsible for any blow-offs or wind damage that may occur prior to

Thermal Sealing having occurred. After your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge

shingle products have achieved Thermal Sealing, however, they will be covered

under this warranty if they experience blow-offs or wind damage in winds up to

the levels listed in the chart at the end of this warranty. HOWEVER, THE

COVERAGE AGAINST SHINGLE BLOW-OFFS OR WIND DAMAGE IS IN

EFFECT FOR A PERIOD OF FIFTEEN (15) YEARS, FROM THE ORIGINAL

DATE OF INSTALLATION. Owens Corning will be liable only for the reasonable

cost of replacing blown-off Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge Shingle product if

applicable (to include material and labor during the applicable warranty period)

and the reasonable cost of manually sealing the unsealed Owens Corning

Hip

& Ridge shingle products remaining on the roof. Please refer to the

“Transferability of This Warranty” below for applicable transfer coverage

• What About Algae Resistance

If the Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle product you purchased were not

speciﬁcally labeled as “Algae Resistant” (AR), then any discoloration caused by

algae is not covered by this warranty as explained in the section below, “What Is

Not Covered.” However, if you did purchase Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge

shingle products, they are covered for the period described in the chart at the

end of this warranty (prorated after the ﬁrst year) following the date of installation

(“AR Warranty Period”) against brown-black staining caused by growth of

blue-green algae (primarily the cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa magma). We do not

cover the effects of other growth such as mold, lichen, and green algae. If

brown-black staining occurs during the AR Warranty Period, you will be entitled

to the following remedy:

REMEDY FOR BLUE-GREEN ALGAE GROWTH—If your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products are discolored by blue-green algae growth during

the ﬁrst year of the AR Warranty Period, we will cover the cost, including labor

(such cost not to exceed the initial cost of the Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge

shingle products plus the initial cost of installation), as reasonably determined by

Owens Corning to repair, replace or recover the affected Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products, subject to certain limitations. We will not cover the

cost to tear off or dispose of your Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge shingle

products. For purposes of this Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge shingle

products warranty, the term “repair” as used above refers to cleaning or

otherwise removing any blue-green algae growth from affected Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge shingle products. Decisions regarding whether your

Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge shingle products should be repaired, replaced

or recovered will be made solely by Owens Corning.

PRORATION—If your Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge shingle products

have been installed longer than one (1) year, labor will not be covered and we

will prorate your Compensation (as deﬁned within the compensation section

herein) to take into account the number of months of use that you have

enjoyed through the date of your claim. For example: If you make your claim in

the last month of the fourth (4th) year of the AR warranty and the AR

warranty length is ten (10) years, our Compensation to you will be reduced by

3/10ths and the reasonable material cost of the affected Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge shingles products (such cost not to exceed 7/10ths of the

Owens Corning

AR Hip & Ridge material cost at time of purchase of the

Owens Corning

AR hip & ridge shingle product).

• What Is Not Covered

Our warranty does not cover damage to your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge

shingle products or products due to any cause not expressly covered herein.

After Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products leave the manufacturing

facility, they are subjected to conditions and handling beyond our control which

could affect their performance. This warranty does not cover any problems with

non-defective Owens Corning

conditions or handling beyond our control. Some examples of conditions not

covered by this warranty include:

speed listed in the chart at the end of this warranty;

2. Damage to or failure of your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products

have questions, please contact us at 1-800-ROOFING;

8. Leaks caused by pre-existing conditions, structural failures(s) or damaged

9. Damage to your Owens Corning

Hip & Ridge shingle products caused by

alterations made after completion of application, including structural changes,

equipment installation, power washing, painting, or the application of cleaning

solutions, coatings, or other modiﬁcations;

10. Improper storage, handling or other conditions beyond our control;

11. Damages caused by, or the cost to repair or replace, any non-Owens Corning

products.

12. Improperly designed or installed gutter or downspout systems; and

13. Any costs that you incur which are not authorized in advance by Owens Corning.
