Application instructions Armourbase GO
Install as flat as possible to prevent unevenness from being projected in the shingle surface. Install parallel to the eaves.
Slopes 9,5°- 20°
To protect the roof deck use IKO Armourbase GO with 50 cm overlaps. Cut a starter strip 50 cm wide and lay succeeding courses fastened with 50 cm horizontal laps and 30 cm end laps. Do not forget to seal the end laps with bituminous mastic.
Slopes 21°- 85°
The entire roof deck should be covered with IKO Armourbase GO underlay or an approved shingle underlay.
The underlay should be installed parallel to the eaves with a min. 10 cm horizontal lap and 15 cm end laps.
On all IKO Armourbase underlayments there are 10 cm lines on the rolls for easier overlapping.
Secure the underlay with only enough nails to hold it in place.
IKO The Shingles Expert offers several types of ventilation. The use of ventilation is highly recommended.
Ventilating your shingles roof will not only extend the life of your roof and your shingles. It will also equalise the temperature of the outer and inner roof. Your roof structure will then be able to withstand sudden temperature changes.
Other benefits are:
- Increase your living comfort
- Regulate the moisture in your roof
- Allow excess heat and water vapour to escape from the roof
- Allow air to circulate between insulation and roof deck
- Prevent humidity from damaging the roof construction
- Cool down the roof in hot weather conditions
- Prevents ice-dams after snow

Nail Pull Resistance Test
In this "Nail Pull Resistance Test" we will show you how easy or difficult it is to take shingles out of an OSB board. This will show how effective the nails are and which type of nails prevent the shingles from being blown from the roof.
Application instructions
You need IKO nails to fix the underlayment and roof shingles.
Corrosion resistant nails (galvanised clout nails) 25 mm in length and a head diameter of 10 mm. The shaft should be 3 mm in diameter and barbed.
The nails should sit 19 mm into the roof surface.
Laminated shingles (Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° or Cambridge Xpress) and nailing of hips and ridges require nails 30 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.
