| General Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| GENERAL | GENERAL Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of the Company, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2014, balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.). In connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this report, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company’s 2014 annual report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods presented for 2014 to conform to the classifications used in the periods presented for 2015. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded additional income tax expense of $4 million and $8 million, respectively, related to prior periods. The effects of these charges were not material to the current or any previously issued financial statements. |
