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.
