One of IKO’s most popular roof shingles is the hexagonal shaped ArmourShield. Thanks to its self-adhesive characteristic it can be used all over the world, from the cold snowy winters in Russia to the hot sticky summers in Egypt.
Resistance to storm and strong winds (up to 220km/h!)
ArmourShield is a popular roof shingle in stormy areas like coastal areas or mountain ranges, thanks to its exceptional resistance to strong winds. Armourshield roof tile shingles are extensively tested in a wind tunnel and the results were impressive. All IKO shingles can easily resist winds, but ArmourShield roof shingles also can resist to strong winds up to 220km/h. Seems like the best roof shingle to install in stormy areas.
Roof shingle with unique look and feel
ArmourShield is a roof shingle with not only nice technical details. The esthetics of the asphalt shingle makes it a great choice too. This roof shingle is available in 9 carefully composed shingle colours. On each ArmourShield colour (except black) you can also find the unique shadowband, which definitely gives an extra dimension to your safe shingles roof.
Shingles installation on concrete roof
In certain countries (Italy, Spain, Cuba, Romania,..) shingles are also being installed on concrete roof decks. ArmourShield is an ideal asphalt roof shingle for this application. For a correct roof application, certain guidelines should be followed. It is important that the roof deck is cleaned and dust free. The use of a bitumen primer is recommended. This primer needs to dry before you can proceed with the following step. You cannot install the ArmourShield roof shingles directly on the concrete deck.
