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!
