When looking for a shingle roof tile that offers you maximum security and an impressive durability, there is only one right option: IKO’s Monarch roof shingle. Monarch is a rectangular APP modified roof shingle available in classical primary colors.
Roof shingle with ±1500 gr APP modified bitumen per m²
Every IKO shingle obtained the ETA (European Technical Assessment), which proofs that all IKO roof shingles are made with care to provide an outstanding quality. But with the Monarch APP modified roof shingle, an even better level of roofing material has been reached. This premium roof shingle is manufactured with ±1500 gr APP modified bitumen per m².

Thanks to the colourful granules on top of the shingles, every IKO roof shingle already offers a certain amount of protection against UV radiation.
