Do not be confused, they are not the same! Fiberglass inlays, like used in our IKO shingles, offer a strong and durable shingle, resistant to all kind of weather conditions. Organic felt inlay (which is used in felt shingles, felt tiles or felt roof tiles and – just to be clear - NOT in IKO Shingles) on the other side is less waterproof and fireproof, because felt shingles are very porous. They absorb humidity, which after temperature and weather differences can lead to premature and disastrous curling and cracking of these felt shingles. Shingles with fiberglass inlay, like IKO roof shingles, are the safe option.
Fireproof roof shingles
All IKO Shingles have undergone fire testing (external fire performance and reaction to fire) by an independent Belgian institute and have a BRoofT1 attest, which means that IKO Roof Shingles are fireproof. They do not catch fire nor extinguish fire. Well, that sounds like a good reason to buy Diamant PLUS.
These advantages also count for Armourglass PLUS and Victorian PLUS, 2 shingles in different shapes (respectively rectangular and rounded shape) that offer the same quality. Most important features of these 3 types of PLUS shingles are UV protection; flexibility at low temperature and APP modified bitumen.

Resistance to storm and strong winds (up to 220km/h!)
ArmourShield PLUS is a popular roof shingle in stormy areas like coastal areas or mountain ranges, thanks to its exceptional resistance to strong winds. Armourshield PLUS roof tile shingles are extensively tested in a wind tunnel and the results were impressive. All IKO shingles can easily resist winds, but ArmourShield PLUS 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 PLUS 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 7 carefully composed shingle colours. On each ArmourShield PLUS 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 PLUS 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 PLUS roof shingles directly on the concrete deck. An APP based underlay (like Armourgum IKOnic) should first be torched onto the roof. Then you should nail (and not(!) torch) the roof shingles on the “melted” APP membrane. Thanks to the self-adhesive back of the Armourshield PLUS, these roof shingle tiles will perfectly attach to the membrane and you’ll have a roof that will withstand each weather condition!
