Strong fiberglass shingles

Because of the demanding European standards, IKO Shingles only produces shingles with a glass fiber inlay.
Please be aware that organic shingles (with 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 are often confused with organic felt shingles on the market. These felt shingles, also known as felt tiles or felt roof tiles, offer a below average quality.

Organic felt shingles and fiberglass shingles are NOT alike!

Here is why:
Being a strong and durable shingle, Victorian PLUS (with fiberglass inlay!) is resistant to all kind of weather conditions.
A roof shingle with an organic felt inlay (commonly referred to as felt shingles, felt tiles or felt roof tiles and – just to be clear - NOT in IKO Shingles)
on the other side is less waterproof and fireproof,
which can lead to premature and destructive curling and cracking.

Roof shingles with impressive tensile strength

Another argument to choose for Victorian PLUS is its impressive tensile strengthA 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!
