Owens Corning home page Around Your Home


Think of your house as a series of systems--each one made up of components working together for a common purpose. Owens Corning can give you insight into many of the important systems in your home. We'll also show you which components can help those systems perform their best. The ultimate benefit of all this? When it comes to taking care of your house, the right systems-- properly installed and maintained-- will do most of the work for you.

By better understanding the role and make-up of each system, you can make better decisions when you're building or remodeling your home. And let's face it. Your home is the biggest investment of your life--so you'll want to build in lasting value from the start.

Insulating system. Helps keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer--without putting a strain on your energy bills. Enables your heating and air conditioning systems to run at top efficiency.

Roofing system. Fends off the elements outside, lets moisture out from the inside. And since a roof can be up to 50% of your home's exterior, it should look good while doing those jobs.

Sound control system. Manages the control and volume of sound. Even lets you customize control to the particular needs of each room in your house, to keep privacy in and noise out.

Exterior system. Helps the outside of your house endure the elements beautifully and in trouble-free fashion. Performs its duties with minimal effort from you.
