Warranty

2. PRORATED PERIOD: Once the TRU PROtection
®
coverage period for the
Owens Corning
®
roofing products purchased has expired, the prorated period will
begin. During this prorated period, we will provide prorated compensation of the cost
of the defective Owens Corning
®
products, but no labor or other costs will be covered
during the prorated period, and we will take into account the number of full years of
use that you have enjoyed from the original installation date through the date of your
claim, and reduce the amount of our compensation to you accordingly. We will prorate
the amount of our compensation to you to adjust the number of years you have
enjoyed from the original installation through the date of your claim. For example: If
you purchased a shingle with a Lifetime warranty and three (3) or more Owens Corning
components and you make your claim in the 15th year of the warranty, we will not
cover labor but our compensation to you will be 72% of the Owens Corning
®
roofing
shingles and components cost at the time of purchase. Further detail can be found on
the “Limited Lifetime
∆
Roofing Shingles and Components Proration
§
Table” below.
3. OTHER TYPES OF STRUCTURES: The coverage for the Owens Corning
®
roofing
products offered by this warranty depends on the structure of which the shingles are
installed and the owner of the structure. Lifetime coverage for all Owens Corning
®
shingles applies only to single-family detached homes where the owner of the roof
is the resident occupying the home. In the instance of roofing products purchased
or installed upon property owned by others, for example, corporations, governmental
agencies, partnerships, trusts, religious organizations, schools, condominiums,
homeowners’ associations or cooperative housing arrangements, or installed on any
other structures (for example, on apartment buildings or any other type of building
or premises not used by individual homeowners as their residence), the warranty
period will be 40 years from the original installation date of the roofing shingles and
components, and the TRU PROtection
®
coverage period will be five years. Further
detail can be found on the “Limited Lifetime

replacement of your Products instead of compensating you directly.

4. EXCEPTIONS: All of Owens Corning’s obligation of Compensation under this warranty
(whether for repair, replacement, recover or refunding a prorated portion of the cost of
the defective roofing products are subject to the limitations provided by this warranty.
Any replacement Owens Corning
®
products will be warranted only for the remainder
of the original warranty period. Owens Corning will not provide compensation for any
underlayment, metalwork, flashings or other related work, and we will not compensate
for the cost to remove or dispose of your Roofing Shingles and Components.
5. WHAT ABOUT WIND RESISTANCE: Your shingles and Hip & Ridge (the Shingle
Products) contain asphalt sealant that requires direct warm sunlight for several days
(Thermal Sealing) in order to seal properly. If your 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 Shingle Products never receive direct sunlight or are not
exposed to adequate surface temperatures, they may never achieve Thermal Sealing. Prior
to your shingles achieving Thermal Sealing, your Shingle Products are more vulnerable to
blow-offs and wind damage. This is the fundamental nature of Shingle Products and not
a manufacturing defect, and we are not responsible for any blow-offs or wind damage
that might occur prior to Thermal Sealing having occurred. After your Shingle Products
have achieved Thermal Sealing, however, they will be covered under this warranty if they
experience blow-offs or wind damage in winds (including gusts) up to the levels and
for the period from the original installation date (“Wind Warranty Period”) listed in the
“Limited Warranty Information Table” listed in the chart at the end of this warranty.
HOWEVER, THE COVERAGE AGAINST SHINGLE PRODUCT BLOW-OFFS OR WIND
DAMAGE IS IN EFFECT FOR A PERIOD OF 15 YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE OF
INSTALLATION. Owens Corning will be liable only for the reasonable cost of replacing
blown-off Shingle Products (to include material and labor during the applicable
TRU PROtection
®
warranty period) and the reasonable cost of manually sealing the
unsealed Shingle Products remaining on the roof. Owens Corning is not responsible
where the damage or blow-offs are caused by damage to the underlying structure.
6. WHAT ABOUT ALGAE RESISTANCE: If the Shingle Products that 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”
below. However, if you did purchase AR Shingle Products, they are covered for the
period described in the “Limited Warranty Information Table” at the end of this warranty
following the date of installation (“AR Warranty Period”) against brown-black staining
caused due to growth of cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa magma algae. 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:
A. Remedy for Algae Growth: If your AR Shingle Products are discolored due to
cyanobacteria algae growth during the first year of the AR Warranty Period, we will
compensate you for the cost, including labor (such cost not to exceed the cost of
the AR Shingle Products plus the cost of installation), as reasonably determined
by Owens Corning, to repair, replace or recover the affected AR Shingle Products.
For purposes of this AR Shingle Products warranty, the term “repair” as used
above refers to cleaning or otherwise removing any algae growth from affected AR
Shingle Products. Decisions regarding whether your AR Shingle Products should be
repaired, replaced or recovered will be made solely by Owens Corning.
THIS WARRANTY INCLUDES LIMITATIONS ON ITS TRANSFERABILITY.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE
OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR PROVINCE TO PROVINCE.
FOR CANADA ONLY: THE TERMS IN THIS WARRANTY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR MODIFY BY AND ARE IN
ADDITION TO ANY PROVINCIAL LAWS.

HOW LONG ARE YOU COVERED
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES APPLICABLE TO YOUR ROOFING SHINGLES AND COMPONENTS
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TRU PROtection
®
COVERAGE PERIOD APPLICABLE
TO SUCH PRODUCTS, AS PROVIDED BY THIS WARRANTY, UNLESS A SHORTER PERIOD
IS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
1. TRU PROTECTION
®
PERIOD: From the installation of the shingles through the
TRU PROtection
®
coverage period of this warranty, Owens Corning will compensate
you to either repair, replace, or recover defective Owens Corning
®
roofing shingles and
components. The compensation provided by Owens Corning is limited to the cost of
replacing Owens Corning
®
roofing shingles and components and the labor directly
required to repair, replace or recover such defective Owens Corning
®
roofing products
as reasonably determined by Owens Corning. Our compensation will not cover any
non-Owens Corning
®
underlayment, metalwork, flashings or other related work,
and we will not cover the cost to remove or dispose of your roofing materials. The
TRU PROtection
®
coverage period does not apply to Wind and Algae coverage. Please
see “What About Wind Resistance” and “What About Algae Resistance” portions of
this warranty for applicable coverage. Owens Corning reserves the right to arrange
directly for the repair or replacement of your Products instead of compensating you
directly. This compensation is limited as follows:
A. If Owens Corning decides to replace the shingles or components, Owens Corning
will compensate you only for the cost of replacement Owens Corning
®
shingles or
components and the labor directly required to replace the defective shingles, both
as reasonably determined by Owens Corning.
B. If Owens Corning decides to repair or recover the shingles, Owens Corning will
compensate you only for the cost of the labor directly required to repair or recover
the defective shingles as reasonably determined by Owens Corning.
C. The TRU PROtection
