Upgrade Your Shingles - CertainTeed's Landmark vs Landmark Pro Shingles
CertainTeed shingles are renowned for their exceptional quality and durability, offering a dependable solution for homeowners seeking both beauty and long-lasting protection. With a vast selection of styles and colors, CertainTeed products complement a wide range of architectural styles. Two of the most popular offerings from CertainTeed are the Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles.
The Difference Between Landmark and Landmark Pro Shingles
There is a lot of similarity between these two popular CertainTeed products. The Landmark series of shingles protects millions of homes across America, making them one of the best-selling shingles in America. All Landmark Series have some common layers.
- QuadraBond Advanced Layering secures the layers of the shingle together, helping it stand up to wind and weather with an industry best 4 points of adhesion.
- StreakFighter Algae Resistance provides longterm protection against black streaking by infusing the shingle granules with copper. The copper helps to prevent algae from taking hold of your shingles.
- CertaSeal Wind Uplift Protection is a high-grade adhesive polymers that lock shingles together to safeguard against moisture intrusion and wind uplift while remaining pliable enough to accommodate structural shifts.
- NailTrak Nailing Lines are a wide nailing area that allows the contractor to work with speed, accuracy, and confidence, taking the guesswork out of installation.
- ClimateFlex technology features rubberizing polymers that result in impact-resistant shingles that offer an industry-leading Class 4 rating for protection against hail damage.
- Solaris Cool Roof is a technology that can reflect up to 44% of sola heat, reducing roof temperatures and heat transfer into your home, giving your air conditioning system a break in the summer and saving on energy costs.
However, even with their similarities, Landmark Pro shingles have some differences that make them the superior shingle option.
The Landmark Pro Advantage
Both types provide excellent protection for your home, but the Landmark Pro shingles stand out for their added benefits. Landmark Pro is thicker and heavier, boasting a UL 2218 Class 3 Impact Rating, which makes it more resistant to hail dam/blogage compared to the standard Landmark shingles. This level of impact resistance can be crucial for homes in areas prone to severe weather. Additionally, Landmark Pro shingles come with a 30-year StreakFighter algae resistance warranty instead of just 25 years of StreakFighter algae resistance, an important feature for homes that experience unsightly dark streaks caused by algae growth.
Landmark vs Landmark Pro Colors
In terms of aesthetics, the Landmark shingles come in 21 traditional colors, offering classic appeal. On the other hand, the Landmark Pro series introduces Max Def shingle color options, featuring deeper, more vibrant hues for enhanced curb appeal, along with a wider range of color choices. If you’re looking for bluer blues, greener greens, or redder reds, we recommend Landmark Pro’s color choices.

Choosing Landmark or Landmark Pro Shingles
Both Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles share the same fire rating, a lifetime limited warranty, and a ten-year manufacturer warranty. However, for homeowners seeking enhanced protection and richer color options, Landmark Pro offers a worthwhile upgrade, making it an excellent investment in long-term durability and style for any home.
