At MLG Roofing, we know that choosing the right shingles for your roof isn’t just about appearance—it’s about performance, protection, and peace of mind. Two of the top brands we install in Brevard and Indian River Counties are Owens Corning and Tamko shingles. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide what’s best for your home, especially with hurricane season approaching.

Owens Corning Shingles: Strength with Style

Owens Corning is a trusted name in roofing. Their Duration Series is one of the most popular products on the market—and for good reason. These shingles come with SureNail® Technology, which adds reinforced grip and wind resistance. They’re rated for winds up to 130 mph, making them a solid choice for Florida’s unpredictable weather. Plus, they offer beautiful color options like Estate Gray, which many of our customers love for its sleek, modern look.

Tamko Titan XT Shingles: Built for High-Impact Weather

Tamko’s Titan XT line is newer but quickly gaining popularity, especially for homes in storm-prone areas. These shingles are rated for winds up to 160 mph and have an enhanced fastening system with AnchorLock™ Technology, providing excellent protection against uplift and blow-off. They’re a great option if you’re looking for top-tier storm durability.

Key Differences:

Wind Rating	Up to 130 mph	Up to 160 mph

Which Shingle Is Right for You?

If you want a well-rounded, attractive shingle with proven reliability, Owens Corning Duration is a smart choice. If your top concern is maximum wind protection and you live closer to the coast or in a high-wind area, you may want to invest in Tamko Titan XT.
