Innovations That Set Certainteed Apart
In our experience as a roofing contractor, we’ve seen firsthand the benefits of using Certainteed products. Let’s delve into some of their unique features that make them a preferred choice for reroof, roof replacement, and roof installation projects.
- StreakFighter – Battle Against Algae: A common challenge in roofing is combating algae growth, which can mar the appearance of roofs with unsightly streaks. Certainteed’s StreakFighter technology uses a special granular blend, including copper, to resist algae, ensuring that your roof remains aesthetically pleasing for years.
- NailTrak – Nailing Made Easy: Roofing requires precision, especially when it comes to nailing. Certainteed’s NailTrak feature offers high-visibility lines for accurate nailing, crucial for both standard and steep-slope applications. This innovation eliminates guesswork, ensuring each nail is placed correctly for optimal roof performance.
- QuadraBond – Superior Layer Adhesion: The strength of a roof lies in the bond between its layers. Certainteed’s QuadraBond technology adheres shingle layers at four points, more than any other manufacturer. This robust bonding method provides exceptional protection against shingle delamination, maximizing the roof’s performance regardless of the climate.
- CertaSeal – Advanced Sealant Technology: Protecting roofs from elements like wind uplift and shingle blow-off is paramount. CertaSeal is Certainteed’s fast-activating modified asphalt sealant, designed to keep shingles firmly in place. Its flexibility and durability ensure long-term performance, safeguarding homes against various weather conditions.
- SureStart Protection – Unparalleled Warranty: One of the most significant aspects of choosing a roofing material is the warranty it comes with. Certainteed’s SureStart Protection is a testament to their confidence in product quality. This warranty covers 100% of the costs of shingles and labor for repairs or replacements due to manufacturing defects during the warranty period.
