CertainTeed Corporation

What CertainTeed Corporation does

CertainTeed Corporation is a North American manufacturer of building products, headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, with 6,300+ employees and 60+ manufacturing facilities across the United States and Canada. Founded in 1904 and operating today as a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain (founded 1665), the company produces roofing, siding, insulation, drywall, ceilings, and solar products under a unified brand, and has more recently entered building-integrated photovoltaics (Solstice Shingles, SunStyle) and circular-economy manufacturing (RenuCore recycling technology).

The company's technology stack is fundamentally physical-product manufacturing — formulated asphalt shingles, polymer-based siding, fiberglass insulation, gypsum drywall, and acoustic ceiling systems — augmented by digital tools such as the ColorView AI Home Visualizer, CertaSpec product configurators, and integrations with Hover for 3D measurement. Recent product launches include ONE PRECISION ASSEMBLIES, a panelized construction system designed for offsite build cycles. Products are certified to UL standards and supported by ICC-ES evaluation reports, with the company actively testifying at building code hearings.

CertainTeed sells primarily through a three-tier distribution model: building products distributors, lumber yards and dealers, and a credentialed contractor network that serves both residential homeowners and commercial customers. Revenue is generated through unit sales of branded, warranted building envelope components, with system-level warranties encouraging cross-category adoption across the roofing, siding, insulation, drywall, and ceiling portfolio. The company is a privately held LLC within Saint-Gobain and does not publicly disclose segment revenue.
