MALVERN, Pa. — Reflecting a strong commitment to research and development, CertainTeed has launched its new Landmark® ClimateFlex® algae-resistant (AR) shingles. This new product improves upon CertainTeed’s most popular and colorful shingle line with the latest advances in polymer science, offering enhanced granule adhesion, hail resistance, and cold-weather flexibility. Over the course of 2021, CertainTeed will introduce ClimateFlex technology to other existing asphalt shingle lines.
In addition to the impact resistance and cold-weather resiliency improvements of ClimateFlex, CertainTeed will begin introducing its improved NailTrak® feature to many of its most popular shingle lines. NailTrak provides a nailing area three-times wider than standard laminate shingles and clear nailing lines that are highly visible even in low-light conditions, allowing faster and more accurate installations. CertainTeed’s NailTrak technology now includes, Quadra-Bond™, a specially formulated adhesive that adheres shingle layers at four points — more than any other manufacturer — providing superior bond strength and protection against shingle delamination over the life of the shingle.
