These shingles stand up to the test of time and they look good doing it. 

IKO Industries’ Weatherwood Cambridge shingles are a perfect, natural option for any home, whether you are looking to preserve the classic style of a historic home or add some class to a modern build. These shingles come in a wide variety of color blends that are backed up with innovative technology that makes them more than just an aesthetic option — they are also one of the most durable shingles you can buy.  

1 - Algae resistance  

Cambridge shingles were specifically designed with algae-resistant granules. These work to inhibit blue-green algae growth that is the source of black stains, streaks and discolorations. 

2 - Powerful core 

These shingles have a strong core that is made up of a fiberglass mat. This is then coated from top to bottom with weathering asphalt and the granules are added on top. Having the fiberglass mat core makes Cambridge shingles heavy-duty and long-lasting. 

3 - Exceptional bonding 

With IKO Fastlock® sealant strips designed into the bottom edge of these shingles; they will stay put. These strips, while tacky on their own, get activated by the sun’s heat and create an even stronger bond, protecting your home from wind uplift and water leaks.  

4 - Blow-off protection 

Another feature of these shingles, printed nail line guides, help installer position and fasten the shingles in the most effective system. Optimizing the installation of the nails is key to keeping the shingles secured to the roof and avoid blow-off in high wind conditions. 

5 - Advantage size 

The Cambridge shingles are also designed at IKO’s advantage size, meaning they have a larger than average exposure area. This means they can be installed faster and create a unique visual effect helping your home’s aesthetic stand out from the crowd. 

6 - Warranty 

To round it all off, IKO Cambridge shingles come with a lifetime warranty. There is also a 10-year Iron Clad protection period in the U.S.A. and a 15-year Iron Clad protection period in Canada. 

Overall, IKO’s Cambridge shingles are engineered carefully to be the first line of defense against mother nature while also giving homes a beautiful appearance.
