Flexible roof shingle for each environment
Another advantage of these APP modified bitumen is the flexibility of the shingle. Each roof shingle is flexible at high temperatures, but now Armourglass PLUS is also flexible at low temperatures. This makes Armourglass PLUS an ideal shingle in every environment (from the African dessert to the Russian Siberian winter, from the low points in Death Valley to the roof of the world, the Himalaya).
It especially makes the installation of this roof shingle much easier for the roofer.
Advantages
Other advantages are the strong fiberglass inlay and remarkable tensile strength.
All these advantages also go for the shingles Victorian PLUS (rounded shape) and Diamant PLUS (triangular shaped), which are different shapes but offer the same high quality as this Armourglass PLUS.
Your advantage with Armourglass PLUS roof shingle:
- APP modified bitumen (TÜM approved)
- Superior quality high grade bitumen fibreglass shingle
- Exceeds the most stringent worldwide standards
- Additional UV protection thanks to APP Bitumen
- Higher flexibility with low(er) temperatures

- Apply roof shingles with IKO nails.
- You would need +/- 35 pc/m². Valley, hips and ridges are easy to install without purchasing a huge range of extra accessories.
Foresee solid insulation and also good ventilation for an optimal and long-lasting roof - improving heating and cooling costs.
Eaves, rakes, walls, chimneys, roof windows, etc. require metal flashings.
Roof shingles with high quality fiberglass
Diamant PLUS is being produced in Europe. To meet the stringent European standards, IKO Shingles only uses glass fiber. Organic shingles (felt inlay) don’t meet the EN norms. Even though IKO only offers a high quality fiberglass (and not felt!) based asphalt shingle, fiberglass roof shingles often suffer from confusion with very poor quality organic felt shingles on the market (also known as felt tiles or felt roof tiles).

Do not be confused, they are not the same! Fiberglass inlays, like used in our IKO shingles, offer a strong and durable shingle, resistant to all kind of weather conditions. Organic felt inlay (which is used in felt shingles, felt tiles or felt roof tiles and – just to be clear - NOT in IKO Shingles) on the other side is less waterproof and fireproof, because felt shingles are very porous. They absorb humidity, which after temperature and weather differences can lead to premature and disastrous curling and cracking of these felt shingles. Shingles with fiberglass inlay, like IKO roof shingles, are the safe option.
Fireproof roof shingles
All IKO Shingles have undergone fire testing (external fire performance and reaction to fire) by an independent Belgian institute and have a BRoofT1 attest, which means that IKO Roof Shingles are fireproof. They do not catch fire nor extinguish fire. Well, that sounds like a good reason to buy Diamant PLUS.
These advantages also count for Armourglass PLUS and Victorian PLUS, 2 shingles in different shapes (respectively rectangular and rounded shape) that offer the same quality. Most important features of these 3 types of PLUS shingles are UV protection; flexibility at low temperature and APP modified bitumen.
