The ArmourZone is 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 shingles have special algae-resistant granules embedded in their surface to help inhibit the growth of blue-green algae which can cause unattractive black stains, streaks and discoloration.
Shingles are meant to lie flat and stay put on your roof. If the wind lifts them up, water from ice dams or wind-driven rain can enter in underneath and may cause a leaky roof. Our shingles have IKO Fastlock sealant along their bottom edges. When activated by the suns heat, it gets extra-tacky and creates a strong bond to help ensure maximum protection against wind uplift, blow-off and water penetration.
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.
At the heart of every IKO shingle is a tough, resilient fiberglass mat. We coat it top and bottom with Polymer-Modified Asphalt, which is formulated to be extremely flexible. IKO shingles are heavy-duty so you can count on them for their durability and structural integrity.

Our ArmourGard Ice and Water Protector is used for waterproofing under shingled roofs preventing water penetration due to ice dams or wind-driven rain. It can also be used as an underlayment around chimneys, dormers, vent stacks, skylights and other roof-top structures or apertures, around doors and windows, and as an exterior vapor barrier for foundations and basements.
Our RoofGard-Cool Grey rolls are lighter and easier to handle making it faster to install. The synthetic, non-breathable material provides a superior slip resistant surface. It is easy to install around vents, dormers, and other roof structures. And since its grey instead of black, it absorbs less of the suns radiant heat. Lay lines every 1 (2.5cm) aid in shingle course alignment.
Our Leading Edge Plus offers the latest evolution in roof starter strips. They're fast, easy and very convenient to apply. Leading Edge Plus starter strip shingle is perforated right down the middle so that you can get two starter strips out of each roof shingle! The sealant strip along their bottom edge creates a tight seal to protect shingle ends against wind damage and reduce shingle blow-offs.
Our specially constructed ridge cap shingles are designed to provide a high-quality alternative to using cut-up roof shingles to protect this important area. The HP stands for High Profile, which means that they're also designed to add dimension, depth and texture to your roof line and rakes.
