They will keep your roof safe, so your roof can keep you safe. Check out the six sleek colors below and then keep scrolling to discover all of the other features with these shingles.

AmourZone - An Ingenious Idea

What’s that? It’s a 1-1/4” wide nailing surface for correct nail placement reinforced by a tear-resistant band that provides even more fastening strength over a wider surface area of the shingle. Nails applied in this area are optimally positioned to help resist nail pull-through and shingle blow-off, even in high winds.

IKO Cambridge IR shingles with ArmourZone are manufactured in IKO’s special “Advantage” size. Bigger than most competitors’ comparable product, they not only go down faster, they offer greater exposure for tremendous visual appeal.

Say No-Thank you to Algae

IKO embeds special algae-resistant granules into IKO Cambridge IR shingles to help inhibit the growth of blue-green algae that can cause unattractive black stains, streaks and discoloration.

Don’t Let Your Roof Get Blown Away!

You want your new shingles to stay put. If the wind lifts them up, water can sneak in underneath and may cause a leaky roof. IKO shingles have IKO Fastlock™ sealant along their bottom edges. When activated by the sun’s heat, it gets extra-tacky and creates a strong bond to help ensure maximum protection against wind uplift, blow-off and water penetration.

In addition, printed nail line guides installers to position and fasten the shingles correctly, to help keep them on the roof and prevent them from blowing off in high wind.
