Roof shingles with impressive tensile strength
Another argument to choose for Victorian PLUS is its impressive tensile strength. A short example of the test can be found in our film “How do they do it?”. This movie shows the different stages of the production process and also gives a small look at a few important quality checks we do to make sure our IKO shingles deliver the high quality customers expect. One of these tests measures the tensile strength.
The average values we’ve registered for the Victorian PLUS are:
1000 N/50 mm for the tensile length (EN 12311-1) and
700 N/50 mm for the tensile width (EN 12311-1).
For the EN 544 standards the following minimum values are required: 600 N/50 mm for the tensile length (EN 12311-1) and 400 N/50 mm for the tensile width.
Looks like Victorian PLUS exceeds these standards by more than 65 % without any effort!
The advantages mentioned above also count for Armourglass PLUS (rectangular shaped) and Diamant PLUS (triangular shaped), 2 IKO roof shingles that offer the same quality as the rounded Victorian PLUS. The biggest advantages of these 3 types of IKO PLUS shingles are UV protection; flexibility at low temperature and APP modified bitumen.
Your advantage with Victorian PLUS roof shingle:
- APP modified bitumen (TÜM certified)
- 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
Application instructions
- If replacing an existing flashing remove existing part before installing the Multiflash.
- Determine the size of the vent pipe.
- Match the pipe size with the correct tear line on the Multiflash.
- Break the seal with a dull object, and clear away the redundant material by hand.
- Carefully lift the shingles that will be used to cover the upper half of the Multiflash. Push the Multiflash over the vent pipe and secure the flange to the roof deck with roofing nails.
- Replace the shingles removed earlier, and secure over the top half of the flange.
Important info
- Do not use a sharp instrument to pierce or cut the Multiflash seal.
- Not to be used with petroleum-based sealants. Use only EPDM compatible sealants!
- Suitable for cold weather applications, use caution during installation in extreme conditions.
- Adhere to installation requirements as determined by the local regulatory authorities.

What does BIM stands for?
BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. BIM or Building Information Modeling is today a hot topic in the building industry, amongst architects, engineers, contractors, project developers, manufacturers, building professionals…
There can be found different definitions of BIM – Building Information Modeling on the internet:
Some BIM definitions speak about the digital representation of the building process, others refer to software, or to a collection of building data in a d-base.
The US National Building Information Model Standard Project Committee has the following definition: “Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.”

BIM and shingles roof
IKO Shingles is a leading name in Roof Shingles. To help architects, engineers, project developers, building professionals to understand the requirements for an optimum shingles roof, an architect book was created. This book is filled with drawings, cross-sections, detailing on various insulated roof details ranging from eaves, chimney, mansard roof, valley and hip to ventilation. Next to that local building regulations of course apply, however this book helps in a first general shingles roof understanding.
What is available from IKO, The Shingles Expert?
The information available on the bottom of this page is gathered per chapter and every chapter always in 4 subchapters:
- the un-insulated roof condition or cold attic situation
- the insulated roof condition with soft insulation material
- the insulated roof condition with (IKO) PIR insulation on sheathing
- the insulated roof condition with (IKO) PIR insulation above the rafters
