Application instructions

Coiled nails can be used for fixing IKO Roof Shingles very fast.

Laminated shingles (Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° or Cambridge Xpress) and nailing of hips and ridges require nails 31 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.

Armourvalley is used in roof valleys and is a high quality APP modified roll finished with ceramic-coated granules that perfectly match the colours of IKO roof shingles.

The special features make it ideal for the specific needs of roof valleys: strength, flexibility and aesthetics.

> It can also be used for low slope roof areas adjacent to shingles. Check out how, with this interesting blog: Extended flat and sloped roof: how to solve it?

 

IKO Base is an underlay for IKO Armourvalley, when used on low slope roof areas (<15°) this roll must be applied with a good mechanical fastening (nail or screws every 20 cm in all directions). 

Afterwards the IKO Armourvalley must be fully torched on it. Check out how, with this interesting blog: Extended flat and sloped roof: how to solve it?

Other features are: 

  • the little bulk of each roll allows operator to carry more rolls during handlings and transports
  • despite its lightness it shows good waterproofing properties (it is W1 ranked and has average values of 4 m in the water column test): thanks to the particular bituminous compound able to enhance its waterproofing behaviour
  • it has a very valuable resistance to cold (up to - 45 °C!!!) allows it to resist also in extreme cold weather conditions
  • the total adhesion on the continuous support protect it from external atmospheric agents
