Shingles roof with slate tile look and feel

The Monarch Diamant roof shingle is a popular alternative for slate tile roofs. Especially when you choose for the black or grey (slate) colour, the Monarch Diamant roof shingle offers the same look and feel as the classical slate roof tile, but with a few advantages. The Monarch Diamant roof shingle is more price economical than a slate tile roof. A full shingles roof is also much lighter than a slate tiles roof, which is both easier for application and an important issue when choosing your roof deck material.

Monarch Diamant, the thicker roof shingle with glassfiber inlay

The Monarch Diamant is the thickest roof shingle in the wide IKO range. Although thicker does not necessary means better, choosing for our Monarch range is definitely one of the best choices you can make. This higher quality offered by this stylish roof shingle is reached in two ways. First of all, we use a thicker fibre glass inlay to ensure we create a durable and stable roof shingle. Another way the Monarch Diamant proves its great quality is the use of the highest number of APP modified bitumen in the entire IKO Shingles range. During the manufacturing process, we add ±1500 gr APP modified bitumen per m².

It adds a higher resistance at high temperatures, but also makes the roof shingle more flexible at low temperatures. Clearly Monarch Diamant is an impressive roof shingle you can use all over the world.

Strong fiberglass shingles

Because of the demanding European standards, IKO Shingles only produces shingles with a glass fiber inlay.

Please be aware that organic shingles (with 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 are often confused with organic felt shingles on the market. These felt shingles, also known as felt tiles or felt roof tiles, offer a below average quality.

Organic felt shingles and fiberglass shingles are NOT alike!

Here is why:

Being a strong and durable shingle, Victorian PLUS (with fiberglass inlay!) is resistant to all kind of weather conditions.

A roof shingle with an organic felt inlay (commonly referred to as 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,

which can lead to premature and destructive curling and cracking.
