Guaranteed APP modified bitumen
All IKO Shingles are conform the ETA (European Technical Assessment), so any IKO roof shingle has been proven to be from excellent quality.
But by adding APP modified bitumen to the Armourglass PLUS, a different level of quality has been reached . And just to be sure we always offer the promised quality, our Armourglass PLUS shingles will be checked on a regular basis. These additional product quality checks will be done by TÜM, the Technical University of Munich, one of the most notable German institutes of technology.
Constant quality assured!

Shingle offering excellent UV protection
One of the advantages of this PLUS range is the additional UV Protection. Each IKO roof shingle already offers protection against UV radiation thanks to the granules on the top of the shingles. But adding up APP modified bitumen increases the resistance against UV rays.
Keep in mind that we offer a 20 years total warranty on the Armourglass PLUS, of which we offer 10 years Platinum warranty.
Add this guarantee to the UV protection and you’ll know your roof will be in excellent shape for many years to come!
Flexible roof shingle for each environment
Another advantage of these APP modified bitumen is the flexibility of the shingle. Each roof shingle is flexible at high temperatures, but now Armourglass PLUS is also flexible at low temperatures. This makes Armourglass PLUS an ideal shingle in every environment (from the African dessert to the Russian Siberian winter, from the low points in Death Valley to the roof of the world, the Himalaya).
It especially makes the installation of this roof shingle much easier for the roofer.
Advantages
Other advantages are the strong fiberglass inlay and remarkable tensile strength.
All these advantages also go for the shingles Victorian PLUS (rounded shape) and Diamant PLUS (triangular shaped), which are different shapes but offer the same high quality as this Armourglass PLUS.
Your advantage with Armourglass PLUS roof shingle:
- APP modified bitumen (TÜM approved)
- Superior quality high grade bitumen fibreglass shingle
- Exceeds the most stringent worldwide standards
- Additional UV protection thanks to APP Bitumen
- Higher flexibility with low(er) temperatures

A safe and healthy roof is a crucial part of each building. When one or more of the following roof problems occur, we know that the safety of your roof is at risk:
- A leaking roof
- Deteriorating roofing materials
- The roofing materials are moving or shifting to an accepted degree, or the shape of material is changing.
- The roof has an unsightly appearance.
The causes of roofing and flashing problems usually spring from design, from the materials selected by the builder or architect, and finally from the way the contractor applied the roofing and flashing.
Moisture and Roofs
Contemporary architects and building engineers recognize that their systems are vulnerable to moisture due to 3 sources:
- Rain penetration
- Entry of water vapor
- Ice damming
To avoid these dangerous situations, certain building science principles behind the problems of moisture and roofing should be understood.
Rain Penetration
Roofs leak when water finds an opening and sufficient force is applied to drive the water inwards. To eliminate rain penetration the roofer must either close the openings or neutralize the driving force. A sloped bitumen shingle roof seldomly leaks because gravity offsets the forces acting to move the water inward. Overlapping the shingles limits the direct entry of rain drops by impingement.
Gravity acts to move water outward down the roof slope. The greater the vertical height of the shingle lap, the greater the gravitational force. Leakage occurs when the roof is not sloped enough to let the force of gravity resist the wind force driving the rain through the openings. Generally, the only way to control water penetration on low slope roofs is by applying a continuous waterproofing membrane.
