3. Lamination and gluing system

Laminated shingles are produced from two parts which are glued together with special modified bitumen. The products in the competitors test only use 3 lines, while the gluing together of IKO laminated shingles is done with five strips of bitumen. In our opinion, this makes IKO shingles the most developed option.

Let’s cut to the chase: Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° looks great on your roof!
Check for yourself in the following shingle drone video. 

Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° is the best choice when it comes to a perfect architectural shingles roof. This extreme roof shingle has it all: an exclusive architectural look and feel, an impressive minimum slope, a wide range of roof shapes, extreme safety for your house,..

Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° is the ideal roof solution for many projects. Whether you are planning to build a “simple” (residential) house or a more distinguished architectural building project like a modern mall or an exclusive hotel, this roof shingle serves each purpose.

Xtreme roof slope = 9,5° (!) right up to 90°

Until a while ago, roof shingles have only been recommended for roof slopes between a minimum of 15° and a maximum of 85°.  Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° easily exceeds this minimum roof slope by more than an impressive 35%! Unlike other roofing materials, often limited to a minimum slope of 15°, Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° can be installed on roofs of 9,5° (!). As for the maximum slope, this top of the range self-adhesive shingle can even be applied on vertical walls! So Cambridge Xtreme 9.5° opens up a whole new universe of possibilities on sloped roofs: from as low as 9,5° (!)  right up to 90°. No more limits for your architectural building projects!

This wide reach of roof slope also means that a lot of different roof shapes can be covered with Cambridge Xtreme 9.5°: from a simple gable roof to a classy mansard roof, from a garmel roof to a curved turret, from a dormer roof to a façade. Thanks to its maximum slope of 90°, you can even cover a wall with Cambridge Xtreme 9.5°, resulting in a unique style for your contemporary building project.
