Californian valley method - application film
This method is the method to use with Cambridge Xtreme 9,5° roof shingles
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
- application lines on the surface make the application more easy and precise
Application instructions
Install as flat as possible to prevent unevenness from being projected in the shingle surface. Install parallel to the eaves.
Slopes 9,5°- 20°:
it is advised to cover the entire roof deck with IKO Armourbase STICK adhesive underlay which will seal the entire deck. End laps must be 15 cm and horizontal laps 10 cm.
Slopes 21°- 85°
The entire roof deck should be covered with IKO Armourbase underlay or an approved shingle underlay.
The underlay should be installed parallel to the eaves with a min. 10 cm horizontal lap and 15 cm end laps.
On all IKO Armourbase underlayments there are 10 cm lines on the rolls for easier overlapping.
Secure the underlay with only enough nails to hold it in place.
Application instructions
Easy application (for professional roofers):
- Base is a wooden or concrete underdeck construction with a waterproof IKO underlayment.
- 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.

Resistant to strong winds (up to 220km/h!)
Choosing the right roofing material in stormy areas can be a burden. DiamantShield PLUS is a popular house shingle that has an exceptional resistance to strong winds, which makes it the ideal choice for challenging building projects close to the coast or high up in the mountains. The hexagonal alternative of the DiamantShield PLUS roof shingles, the ArmourShield PLUS roof shingles, have proven this resistance when being extensively tested in a wind tunnel. The results of these tests were very remarkable. ArmourShield PLUS roof shingles easily resisted winds from 177km/h for up to 2 hours. But even more impressive was the way the resisted the strong winds up to 220km/h. Because DiamantShield PLUS is made with the same excellent quality as the ArmourShield PLUS, it is the best and safest choice for roofs located in stormy areas!
