Owens Corning today announced Sand Dune as the 2018 SHINGLE
COLOR OF THE YEAR. HGTV “Good Bones” home renovation experts Karen
E Laine and Mina Starsiak – renowned for their use of color as a
design element – helped unveil the selection and shared their
perspectives on the power of color to inspire home exteriors.
Sand Dune was chosen for its versatile medley of hues embedded
in the color, and for how it complements a broad range of exteriors
to create a sense of relaxed, natural grandeur.
“Combining elements of bisque beige and light sky blue with hues
of driftwood, charcoal and shale creates a canvas of elegance that
enhances today’s exterior colors and styles,” said Sue Burkett,
Owens Corning Roofing Strategic Marketing Manager.
Owens Corning launched the annual roofing color initiative to
highlight the roof as a design element that expresses a homeowner’s
personal style and contributes to curb appeal.
The versatile shingle color has been endorsed by remodeling
experts. Home renovator Starsiak shared her perspective on the
appeal of Sand Dune.
“It’s no secret that we love using color in and on our homes,”
Starsiak said. “We’ve used Owens Corning® shingles in the color
Sand Dune on our home office and think the fun and bright color is
complementary to multiple palettes.”
Complementing the announcement of Sand Dune as the 2018 SHINGLE
COLOR OF THE YEAR, the Owens Corning website offers free, online
design tools and visualization resources to help consumers color
coordinate their home’s roof and exterior. Resources include a
“Design and Inspire” section featuring several style boards,
including three new boards created in collaboration with Good
Bones’ stars Laine and Starsiak. The newly enhanced Design EyeQ®
Roof Visualization Experience is a free tool that allows homeowners
to upload a photo of their home and experiment with different color
pairings. The mobile-friendly site also includes a series of
pre-rendered home images with multiple shingle colors and
styles.
“Homeowners – especially women – have told us they are looking
for alternatives to traditional roof colors,” said Burkett. “The
online style boards and interactive tools available on our website
make it easy for homeowners to express their personal style using
the TruDefinition® Duration® Designer shingle in Sand Dune, or one
of the many other shingle colors available through Owens
Corning.
Beyond aesthetic appeal, as part of the Duration® shingle
series, Sand Dune incorporates the advanced technology and
performance of patented SureNail® Technology.
Part of the TruDefinition® Duration® Designer Colors collection,
Sand Dune becomes the second shingle designated as the Owens
Corning SHINGLE COLOR OF THE YEAR. The 2017 color was Sedona
Canyon.
