In the world of roofing, choosing the right shingle color can have a significant impact on the overall aesthetics and curb appeal of a home. Owens Corning, a global leader in building materials, understands the importance of color in roofing and has recently unveiled “Williamsburg Gray” as the 2024 Shingle Color of the Year (SCOTY).
The timeless appeal of Williamsburg Gray
Williamsburg Gray offers a modern take on conventional shades of gray, infusing nature-inspired tones to create a timeless color statement on a home’s roof. This color integrates slate grays, volcanic black shades, and earthy browns, resulting in a visually striking and versatile choice for your home.
Part of the TruDefinition® Duration® shingle line, Williamsburg Gray not only enhances the curb appeal of a home but also delivers exceptional performance. Owens Corning recognizes that homeowners seek shingles that can withstand a wide range of weather conditions while still maintaining their visual appeal.
Beauty and performance combined
The TruDefinition® Duration® shingle line has garnered positive feedback from both consumers and contractors. Homeowners appreciate the shingles’ ability to enhance the overall look of their homes, while contractors value the performance and durability that these shingles provide.
Williamsburg Gray shingles are equipped with Owens Corning’s patented SureNail® Technology. This advanced technology ensures that the shingles stay securely in place, even in the face of strong winds and harsh weather conditions. You can have peace of mind knowing that your roof is protected season after season.
Inspiring home exteriors
To complement the introduction of Williamsburg Gray, Owens Corning has also unveiled new design resources to help inspire you. Three style boards showcase how a home’s roof can contribute to its overall design aesthetic. Whether you’re looking for a quaint low-country cottage vibe, a sleek and minimalist Scandinavian feel, or a mid-century modern ranch look, Williamsburg Gray can be the perfect choice to tie everything together.
Gray has become increasingly popular as a versatile and stylish option that can be easily integrated with landscaping, furnishings, and exterior accents.
From regional favorite to national sensation
Williamsburg Gray has long been a beloved color in the southeastern United States. Due to growing demand from other regions of the nation, Owens Corning has decided to make this stunning color available nationwide. By updating and refreshing this classic shade of gray, Owens Corning ensures that homeowners from all across the country can enjoy the timeless beauty and versatility of Williamsburg Gray.
“The updates to this classic color allowed us to integrate warm earthen tones, providing homeowners with a comprehensive portfolio of gray shingles that will look stunning on any style of home,” says Sue Burkett. Whether it’s a California bungalow, a Midwestern modern farmhouse, or a traditional East Coast estate, Williamsburg Gray is a color that transcends regional boundaries and adds elegance to any architectural style.
