Who is the guarantor of your roof?

Check who the guarantor of your roof is. Many guarantees available on local markets are issued by distributors, which means they may not necessarily be manufacturer guarantees (in some cases they differ significantly).

Ask yourself whether the manufacturer will honor such a guarantee in case of problems.


>>> IKO’s guarantee periods are always clearly stated in the product data table on the relating IKO product page.

Guarantee terms

In many cases, to have a manufacturer’s guarantee, you must register your product(s).
Before purchase, check whether this is possible in your country (some manufacturers limit guarantee registration by region – confirm whether it's allowed in your country).

Guarantee registration is time-limited – you must register it within a specified period.
Some manufacturers register the guarantee to a specific property owner with the option to transfer it once. If ownership changes, you may need to transfer the guarantee to the new buyer (this is usually allowed only once, often with an additional fee and a reduction of the guarantee period).

The transfer of the guarantee is also time-limited and may require document translation costs to confirm the new owner’s rights.

Guarantee: roof with Cambridge shingles in color Autumn Brown (53)

Check guarantee conditions

To ensure your guarantee is valid, the roof must be built according to local regulations and the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Some manufacturers require the use of original components from their system (check whether you can purchase them to meet guarantee requirements).

IKO’s most recent guarantee conditions can be downloaded here.

Submitting a claim and how it's processed

Check whether the manufacturer has a representative office in your country.
A local representative ensures:

  • Easy communication
  • No language barriers
  • Fast response
  • Possibility of roof inspection

The European IKO brand is available through many offices, see our locations. Apart from the offices, we also have a lot of local representatives. If you need to get it in touch in regards with a claim, you can easily contact us.

Cambridge Xpress

If there's no representative in your country, this may cause various issues when handling claims:

  • Difficult contact due to language barriers
  • Often no chance for on-site inspection (in disputes, you may need an independent expert)
  • Lengthy claim process
  • High additional costs for sending samples to the manufacturer


Also, check what documents are required to submit a claim:

  • Proof of purchase
  • For some manufacturers: registered guarantee
  • Sending samples to the manufacturer

As you can see, the guarantee offered with your brand of shingles is an important factor to take into consideration. Be sure to take a close look at all the above mentioned facets before making this big decision.
