Specification sheets
Published R-value, wind uplift, Class 4 impact, and fire classification tables for Duration shingles, fiberglass batts, and FOAMULAR XPS boards—formatted for Division 07 binders.
Owens Corning Technical Resources
Specification sheets, installation guides, CAD drawings, and engineering data for building professionals specifying architectural shingles, fiberglass insulation, and foam board continuous insulation.
We measure documentation success by submittals that clear plan review on the first visit, installation guides that match field fastener schedules, and CAD details that still open when phase-three roofs need the same Duration nail pattern as phase one.
What This Hub Delivers to Specifiers
Installation guides
Nail patterns, batt compression limits, attic ventilation calculator inputs, and foam board fastening sequences that inspectors recognize on first walkthrough.
CAD & engineering data
Detail drawings for eaves, ridges, rim boards, and continuous insulation transitions with dimensional callouts matching current ICC-ES evaluation reports.

On a Midwest 180-home production community (2024), the GC locked R-19 walls and R-38 attics before first slab. Owens Corning R-value charts (ft²·°F·h/BTU by thickness), kraft facing moisture vapor transmission notes, and thermal bridging callouts at rim boards sat in the same packet as the framing schedule. Punch-list voids at electrical boxes dropped after a toolbox talk on compression that was erasing published thermal conductivity assumptions. A Southeast coastal re-roof used Duration shingles rated to 130 mph wind uplift with Class 4 impact resistance options; ICC-ES and UL sheets cleared the insurer review without a second submission. Light commercial retrofit limit: FOAMULAR XPS continuous insulation (typical R-5 per inch; ASTM C578 Type IV psi grades) alone does not fix leaky attic bypasses or air permeability paths—air sealing remained a separate trade, and compressive strength was confirmed against ASTM C578 before parapet details froze.
Technical limits disclosed with every download pack
- Cavity R-value is valid only at full installed thickness; compressed batts require a derate in energy models.
- Wind uplift and Class 4 impact ratings apply to listed assemblies—nail pattern, underlayment, and deck condition must match the evaluation report.
- XPS water absorption rate advantages assume closed-cell boards; damaged edges or unsealed joints reopen moisture paths.
- GREENGUARD Gold and VOC emissions sheets address indoor air; they do not replace fire resistance rating or wind listings.
How to verify before bid: request free sample coupons for thermal resistance screening, run the attic ventilation calculator with your net free area, and book an application-engineer walkthrough of ICC-ES / UL notes. Test environment for published shingle wind ratings follows the manufacturer’s listed methods under designated fastening schedules—field substitutions void the path.
