IKO self-adhesive shingles on vertical wall or façade

Cambridge Xtreme, ArmourShield Plus or DiamantShield shingles are very easy to install on steep slopes up to 90 degrees because of their adhesive surface on the backside of the shingle. These shingles can be applied also as façade products, and they are very resistant to all weather situations, mechanical stress, and storms in extreme conditions. The reason for this is the extreme stickiness and very good properties against wind driven water.

High durability is also provided with very secure nailing to a wooden deck. Shingles are fixed with more roofing nails on slopes between 60°-90°. Roofing nails are galvanized and corrosion resistant. The shank of roofing nails is barbed or ringed and provides a very good resistance against pop-ups from a wooden deck.

=> So, a vertical wall covered with IKO roof shingles is high resistant to storms and high winds.

In areas known for extreme wind speeds, the installation of roof shingles and their accessories must follow all manufacturer recommendations. Then the roof or façade is covered with a full IKO warranty and Platinum warranty as well.

Professional installation of shingles

Another important factor that speaks in favor of IKO roofs in turbulent times is the fact that roof shingles are laid exclusively by trained professionals, which guarantees their professional installation. In the IKO Training center, roofers from various companies are directly trained by IKO application professionals. This provides investors, homeowners and architects with a well high level of certainty and satisfaction, resulting in a reliable roof over your head.

Extreme wind conditions

Strong storms run not only through the mountains or along the coasts, but also in flat areas or in the valleys. If the building stands in a very exposed place or unprotected in a wind corridor, the wind can reach very high speeds even in the valleys.

Wind load is becoming an important topic, for example in the case of free-standing homes on the outskirts of the village or tall buildings in the city. Whether your house stands in the mountains, in the valley or by the sea, it must withstand harsh weather conditions.

It’s important that the choice of roofing products is selected well and the way how they are applied and fixed is carefully planned. IKO roofers and companies are properly trained and can also use the advice of IKO experts and technicians and it’s all to protect your home.

Our Cambridge Xtreme 9,5° passed two impressive tests in a windtunnel. See how well it survives extreme wind conditions.  >>>

IKO laminated shingles = the right option

Cambridge Xpress or Cambridge Xtreme are ideally suited for roof reconstruction. These premium shingles with 3D design are imitating natural slate, stone or wooden shingles and they can cover any unevenness on the old roof structure.

When you are renovating the roof, the old trusses must often be prepared for concrete or clay roof tiles that weigh several tons and the static issue is very important. With IKO roof shingles, you can avoid this. Thanks to a shingle roof, which is many times lighter, no additional truss reinforcement is required.

In addition, the IKO roof enables fast and easy installation on site by a trained roofer and can also be transported very well by a small truck. This can significantly reduce construction time.

IKO roof shingles are a light, durable and very effective roofing material, which allows you to save time and money on demanding maintenance.
