                    Owens Corning Announces the Acceptance
                     of Fibreboard Shares in Tender Offer


TOLEDO, Ohio; June 27, 1997 -- Owens Corning (NYSE/TSE:OWC) today announced it 
has accepted shares tendered pursuant to its tender offer for all outstanding 
shares of common stock of Fibreboard Corporation (AMEX:FBD).

Owens Corning has been advised by The Bank of New York, the depositary for the 
offer, that as of midnight Eastern Daylight Time, on Thursday, June 26, 1997, 
approximately 7,836,655 shares of Fibreboard common stock (in excess of 92 
percent of the outstanding shares) had been validly tendered and not withdrawn.

"We are pleased to accept the shares tendered to us at this time and look 
forward to finalizing the partnership between Fibreboard and Owens Corning," 
said Glen H. Hiner, Owens Corning chairman and chief executive officer.

The tendered shares will be purchased by an Owens Corning subsidiary. It is 
expected that such subsidiary will be merged into Fibreboard, with each share of
Fibreboard not tendered being converted into the right to receive $55.00 in 
cash. The merger is expected to be effective in early July.

Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Owens Corning is a world leader in high
performance glass fiber composites and building materials with sales in 1996 of
$3.8 billion. The company employs 19,000 people in more than 30 countries. The
company's internet website can be found at http://www.owenscorning.com.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Fibreboard is a leading producer and 
distributor of vinyl siding and other residential and industrial building 
materials. Sales in 1996 were $469 million. On a pro-forma basis - assuming 
Fibreboard's 1997 acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 1997 - 
Fibreboard's sales this year would be expected to be close to $800 million. 
Fibreboard employs 3,400 people and operates a total of 21 manufacturing plants 
in the United States and Canada.

Merrill Lynch & Co. served as financial advisor to Owens Corning and acted as 
dealer manager in the tender offer.
