Beautiful homes stand out for many reasons, but one of the most important exterior features is your roof. Your home’s roof is the cherry on top of your exquisite house, hence why you should consider the most beautiful material for your dream home. But you don’t just want a roof shingle that looks good, you want to ensure it’ll do what a roof is supposed to do: protect your home.
For your new roof, consider the Armourshake Shingle in shadow black from IKO®! This designer asphalt roofing shingle is one of the best materials on the market, with unmatched design and thickness. Each shingle is made of two fiberglass mats that are laminated together and they also have UV resistant granules, so the beautiful color won’t fade in the sun.
The Shadow Black shingle has a Class 4 Impact Resistance rating, so it’ll protect your home from the impact of hail. The material is also algae resistant, making it the perfect choice for homes in more humid climates.
Armourshake shingles easily bond to the roof thanks to the IKO FastLock® sealant strips across the back. This sealant is sun activated, so when faced with extreme heat, they’ll bond to the roof even more and will prevent wind uplift. If you have your contractor install the shingles with IKO PROFORMAX Integrated Roofing Accessories according to their High Wind Application instructions, you’ll be eligible for their High Wind Limited Warranty Upgrade. This qualifies your roof for wind coverage up to 130 mph!
Whether you want a minimalist or more traditional home exterior, the Armourshake shingle fits the look of any house. IKO recommends you pair their Shadow Black color shingle with a white or grey home. The shingle also goes well with stone and masonry siding.
