Low budget roof

If you have a low budget, than a light roof structure makes a great difference in the construction of your home and in your wallet.

A new roof with a low budget:

When compared to conventional roofing materials, shingles are much lighter in weight and more flexible, without compromising quality levels at all.

IKO roof shingles are very quick and efficient to install, as their light weight simply adds to the superior quality and they can easily be placed over the existing roof construction with renovation projects.

With an IKO Shingles roof you save money: roof parts like hips and ridges are cut from the basic shingle tabs. You do not need to spend money on expensive accesorries as you will have to with other conventional roofing materials.

And as for later roof maintenance: labour and costs are reduced to the absolute minimum. Absolutely low budget friendly!

Noticeably stylish

Ecological roof

The lightweight of an ecological roof with shingles, provides a positive ecological effect:

  • Ecological roof reason 1:

    The transport weight of the material is light, which results in a much smaller impact on the environment.
  • Ecological roof reason 2:

    The various ventilation systems in the IKO programme create optimum air circulation and insulation, both of which are good for your health and result in lower energy bills

Insulation

  • Noise insulation:

    IKO roof shingles absorb a great amount of noise caused by rain and hail on a roof, making IKO shingles the superior option for noise insulation when compared to other materials.
  • Vermin insulation:

    It is also much harder for vermin to penetrate shingle roofs, providing additional protection for your attic.

In the past, many shingle manufacturers didn’t recommend the use of nail guns when installing a new shingle roof. In that time, hand nailing was more popular. Most of them preferred an application with a shingle hatchet. Recently things have changed and a lot of roofing contractors started using different power tools, including nail guns.

Their main reason to use nail guns is to save time. A second reason is to facilitate the roofer’s job by reducing the manual work. Shingle producers also introduced special designed shingles with zones for accurate nailing. IKO offers two different laminated shingles, Cambridge Xpress and Cambridge Xtreme 9,5°, produced with nailing lanes for the fastening with a nail gun.

But the main question is: what is better, hand nailing or nailing with a nail gun? While many roofers have strong feelings one way or the other, the only thing that really matters is a shingle roof installed with the highest quality. Both methods of application have their own strengths and weaknesses, let’s compare. But first..

Hand nailing versus use of a nailgun
