Owen's Corning
Is This Your Business?Author: Kaitlyn Short
In 1938, Owens Corning invented Fiberglas fibers, a discovery that later helped convert the roofing industry from organic felt based shingles to a construction that uses Fiberglas mat at its core. Owens Corning Roofing began production of fiberglass reinforced shingles in 1977. For almost 40 years, they have been producing high-quality 3-tab and architectural shingles. Today, Owens Corning supplies shingles for shipment throughout the Southwest and into Mexico and South America.
