About CertainTeed Roofing Technologies

As a result of Certainteed’s dedication to product improvements and manufacturing excellence, they have developed numerous valuable technologies that help contractors and homeowners build better, safer, more comfortable homes. CertainTeed products feature the following roofing technologies:

  1. QuadraBond™ technology firmly secures the layers of a shingle together, helping roofs stand up to wind and weather so they maintain their beauty and performance. Featuring an industry-best four points of adhesion, and backed by CertainTeed’s superior manufacturer’s warranty, QuadraBond delivers exceptional quality and reliable strength against shingle delamination.
  2. StreakFighter® Algae Resistance technology provides reliable, long-term protection against the unsightly black streaks caused by algae formation. Featuring copper-infused surface granules that possess natural anti-algae properties, StreakFighter works to prevent algae from taking hold on shingles – helping roofs maintain their beauty and color.
  3. CertaSeal™ is a high-grade adhesive made from a proprietary blend of asphalts and polymers that seals shingles together on the roof to safeguard against wind uplift, shingle blow off, and moisture infiltration. Unlike harder sealants that can dry out and crack over time, it is designed to remain pliable and accommodate the slight structural shifts caused by years of temperature and weather changes.
  4. NailTrak® wide nailing area has helped contractors install our shingles with speed, accuracy, and confidence for more than a decade. NailTrak removes the guesswork with three separately defined lines, presenting a large area to guide nailing and a smaller area for extreme steep-slope applications. Learn more about the NailTrak nailing line.
  5. Solaris® Cool Roof technology is a sustainable solution that applies energy-saving performance to our most popular shingle brands. Featuring a special granule surface blend that can reflect up to 44 percent of solar heat, they help reduce roof temperatures and heat transfer into living spaces, lessening the workloads of air conditioning system to save on energy costs.
