A good approximation is to order an extra 10 - 15 % material (depending on the amount of roof detail) for coverage of the hips, ridges and starter strip.

When applying round shaped (Biber/Beaver) or laminated shingles be sure to order rectangular shingles in a matching colour to cover hips and ridges.

Cut rectangular or diamant shaped shingles into individual pieces by dividing the shingle at the cut-outs.

Apply the hip and ridge shingles double thickness by stacking two pieces and bending them over the hip or the ridge.

In cold weather warm the shingle before bending.

Nail the capping 16 cm from the tab edge and 2,5 cm from each side, exposing each piece 14 cm. Start application from the end of the ridge opposite the direction of the prevailing winds.

Coiled nails can be used for fixing IKO Roof Shingles very fast.

Laminated shingles (Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° or Cambridge Xpress) and nailing of hips and ridges require nails 31 mm in length.

Proper fastening is essential for a good roof. 

Drive the nails straight so that the nail heads are flush with, but not cutting into the shingle surface. Always nail 2,5 cm above the cut-out and 2,5 cm from each edge. For correct positioning and nail quantities per type of shingle and roof slope check out the detailed application instructions.

If your roof has a steep slope (>60°) or if you are living in a highly exposed area you will need to use extra nails and Shingle Stick adhesive.

Armourvalley is used in roof valleys and is a high quality APP modified roll finished with ceramic-coated granules that perfectly match the colours of IKO roof shingles.

The special features make it ideal for the specific needs of roof valleys: strength, flexibility and aesthetics.

> It can also be used for low slope roof areas adjacent to shingles. Check out how, with this interesting blog: Extended flat and sloped roof: how to solve it?

IKO Base is an underlay for IKO Armourvalley, when used on low slope roof areas (<15°) this roll must be applied with a good mechanical fastening (nail or screws every 20 cm in all directions). 

Afterwards the IKO Armourvalley must be fully torched on it. Check out how, with this interesting blog: Extended flat and sloped roof: how to solve it?
