Certainteed® launches Landmark® ClimateFlex® Shingles

CertainTeed, a North American manufacturer of building materials, has launched its new Landmark ClimateFlex algae-resistant (AR) shingles. This new product improves upon CertainTeed’s popular shingle line with advances in polymer science, offering enhanced granule adhesion, hail resistance, and cold-weather flexibility. Over time, CertainTeed will introduce ClimateFlex technology to other existing 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.
