Introducing IKO Shingle 2.0
By launching IKO shingle 2.0, we reinforce our commitment to durability and innovation. Our roofing shingles are composed of carefully selected European raw materials, including a fiberglass inlay, bitumen, and a topcoat of natural stone granules available in a variety of colors. Through continuous improvement, we have refined our production process to elevate the quality of our shingles to the next level.

IKO Shingle 2.0: importance of granules
Finer granules
The new IKO Shingle 2.0 incorporates finer granules, optimizing the granulometry—the distribution, composition, and texture of particles based on their size ranges. This advancement enables a more homogeneous coverage of the shingle surface, which results in an improved UV protection of the bitumen substrate.
Water-repellent coating
Our aim is to prevent as much as possible the access of water into the structure of the granules. IKO has taken an additional step in innovation by enhancing the surface finish layer with a water-repellent coating. This theory has been proven in the lab. The improved coated granules are less water absorbent and due to its finer structure or granulometry, water has more difficulty of getting through.

Lighter bundles, more durability
Reducing the size of the stone fraction results in a reduction in the amount of material required for the top coating and not absorbing water, which ultimately means an overall reduction in the weight of the shingles. There is no change in bitumen content, which is the waterproofing part of the roof shingles. So even though there is a weight reduction, IKO has increased the durability of your roof.
Next to reducing the weight of the shingles IKO decided to reduce the m² per bundle to around 2 m². This implies much easier handling for the roofer on the roof.

Are you in need of a stylish, weather-resistant finish for facades? Shingles are the way to go!
Shingled walls have slowly been gaining popularity across Europe for aesthetic and practical reasons. Let’s walk you through everything you need to know about installing shingles on walls, including proper ventilation, usage of starter strips, and necessary metalwork.
Why shingle a wall?
One of the most important reasons is the aesthetically pleasing look. IKO offers 3 different shingle shapes suitable for wall application, being Cambridge Xtreme 9,5°, ArmourShield PLUS and DiamantShield PLUS. Thanks to the self-adhesive character of these shingles, they are suitable for areas up to 90°. These 3 styles are available in different colors, which results in a shingle for every home project.
Shingled facades are not only visually striking—they also:
- Provide extra insulation
- Add protection against rain and wind
- Allow for creative design with color and material combinations
Installing shingles on walls requires a different approach than on roofs, especially in terms of ventilation, fastening, and flashing.
