Roof shingle with unique look and feel
ArmourShield PLUS is a roof shingle with not only nice technical details. The esthetics of the asphalt shingle makes it a great choice too. This roof shingle is available in 7 carefully composed shingle colours. On each ArmourShield PLUS colour (except black) you can also find the unique shadowband, which definitely gives an extra dimension to your safe shingles roof.
Shingles installation on concrete roof
In certain countries (Italy, Spain, Cuba, Romania,..) shingles are also being installed on concrete roof decks. ArmourShield PLUS is an ideal asphalt roof shingle for this application. For a correct roof application, certain guidelines should be followed. It is important that the roof deck is cleaned and dust free. The use of a bitumen primer is recommended. This primer needs to dry before you can proceed with the following step. You cannot install the ArmourShield PLUS roof shingles directly on the concrete deck. An APP based underlay (like Armourgum IKOnic) should first be torched onto the roof. Then you should nail (and not(!) torch) the roof shingles on the “melted” APP membrane. Thanks to the self-adhesive back of the Armourshield PLUS, these roof shingle tiles will perfectly attach to the membrane and you’ll have a roof that will withstand each weather condition!
The resistance to strong winds, the self-adhesive back and the unique look and feel make ArmourShield PLUS an excellent roof shingle which can be used all over the world!

Application instructions
Coiled nails can be used for fixing IKO Roof Shingles very fast.
Laminated shingles (Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° or Cambridge Xpress) and nailing of hips and ridges require nails 31 mm in length.
Proper fastening is essential for a good roof.
Drive the nails straight so that the nail heads are flush with, but not cutting into the shingle surface. Always nail 2,5 cm above the cut-out and 2,5 cm from each edge. For correct positioning and nail quantities per type of shingle and roof slope check out the detailed application instructions.
If your roof has a steep slope (>60°) or if you are living in a highly exposed area you will need to use extra nails and Shingle Stick adhesive.
Application instructions:
Easy application (for professional roofers):
- Base is a wooden or concrete underdeck construction with a waterproof IKO underlayment.

Roof shingles with high quality fiberglass
Diamant PLUS is being produced in Europe. To meet the stringent European standards, IKO Shingles only uses glass fiber. Organic shingles (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 often suffer from confusion with very poor quality organic felt shingles on the market (also known as felt tiles or felt roof tiles).
