Owens Corning Berkshire® (field shingle)
Discontinued — what Tulsa homeowners should know
Owens Corning's slate-look designer field shingle. The Berkshire product page now redirects to the general shingle catalog, and Owens Corning's current warranty literature lists Berkshire® only as a hip & ridge product.
Berkshire
The Oklahoma verdict
If Berkshire is on your roof today, the practical issue is matching. Once a shingle is discontinued, a hail or wind repair can't be blended into the existing slopes, and that is exactly the situation where we document the discontinuation with the manufacturer's notice and submit it with your claim. Whether your policy pays for full replacement when a match is impossible depends on your policy's wording, so we read it with you before anything is filed.
What replaced Berkshire?
The closest current Owens Corning looks are below. We bring physical sample boards of each to the inspection so you can hold them against your existing roof.
Discontinuation evidence we attach to claims
- Owens Corning Roofing System Protection Limited Warranty brochure — Berkshire® listed among hip & ridge shingles
- Owens Corning current shingle lineup (product no longer listed)
When a repair can't be matched, this documentation goes into the claim file alongside slope-by-slope photos and the test-square results. Read how we run that process in How to File a Roof Insurance Claim in Oklahoma and What Your Insurance Adjuster Won't Tell You.

Frequently asked questions
Is Owens Corning Berkshire discontinued?
Yes. Berkshire is no longer manufactured. Existing roofs keep whatever Owens Corning warranty coverage was registered when they were installed, but replacement shingles are no longer produced, so spot repairs cannot be matched.
What replaced Berkshire?
The closest current Owens Corning options are Duration Designer and Woodcrest. We bring sample boards of both to the inspection so you can compare them against your existing roof.
Will insurance replace my whole roof if Berkshire can't be matched?
It depends on your policy language. Some Oklahoma policies include matching provisions or endorsements; others pay only for the damaged slope. We document the discontinuation, photograph every slope, and submit the manufacturer evidence with your claim so the adjuster has the full picture.
