IKO Nordic: Among the Peak-Performing Shingles for the Price

Your first concern when choosing a shingle should always be how well it can provide shelter for your family. IKO Nordic performance laminate shingles have that covered. They tower above most comparable shingles you can get for the money. Why? Because they’re fortified with the IKO ArmourZone® and engineered to provide superior protection against wind uplift and water penetration. In fact, they carry a Limited High-Wind Warranty¹ for winds of up to 130 mph (210 km/h).

We also reinforce their resilient, heavyweight fiberglass mat with Polymer-Modified Asphalt for exceptional flexibility and tear-resistance. This enhanced pliability means IKO Nordic shingles act like a shock absorber, earning them a Class 4 Impact Resistance rating².

And you’ll love how they’ll make your home look! High-definition color blends and an extra-large exposure combine to create the coveted look and visual texture of real stone tiles or wood shakes, without the associated expense or maintenance worries.

Note: Nordic Shingles are available only in select markets.

It is not to be construed as any type of express or implied warranty or guarantee of the impact performance against hail, of this shingle by the manufacturer, supplier or installer.

Transcript

For us, we approach each installation with a custom system that’s designed to perform. And that’s why we partnered with IKO to be able to deliver their systems to the consumer. My name is Warren McGrew, I’m the owner and founder of Sparrow Exteriors.

We service greater Atlanta, both residential and commercial. We are about delivering quality installation and the best roofing materials. We want to make sure that we’re committed to excellence.

My name is Frank Hardy, Colonel, United States Air Force, retired. We had a pretty heavy storm and it lifted up the shingles. We had replaced his neighbor’s roof, about three houses down before, due to storm damage. And that homeowner had chosen IKO’s Nordic shingle. And then, just a few weeks later, a severe storm hit the area. The neighbor’s roof held up great, but his started experiencing leaks. We woke up with water in the living room. We had leaks in both ends of the house. When searching for contractors to bid, I went and asked my neighbor if he would give their [Sparrow’s] phone number.

In the last 30 days, we’ve had micro-bursts, tornadoes, and severe weather roll across our area, affecting pretty much the entire state. After hearing from us and seeing the best roofing materials, he really knew that we stood behind quality.

After seeing the product, the roof underlayment, particularly, compared to the old felt-paper type underlayment, it seemed to be a much superior product.

Seeing is believing. We’ve seen it perform on the neighbor’s roof, with the neighbor enthusiastically endorsing us with this IKO Nordic shingles review. And then when Mr. Hardy’s home sustained damage, he had someone he could trust and for us, it’s about earning that trust.

They repaired things this morning that I had no idea existed in the condition that they were. Working with Sparrow has been unquestionably good.

Whenever we’re assessing the various roofing materials that are on the market, we look at where we believe the best roofing materials are for the consumer at any given time. We really feel that IKO is that manufacturer for us.

We’ve elevated these asphalt shingles to perform exceptionally well by adding the ArmourZone.

The ArmourZone is a 1-1/4” wide nailing surface for correct nail placement reinforced by a tear-resistant band that provides even more fastening strength over a wider surface area of the shingle. Nails applied in this area are optimally positioned to help resist nail pull-through and shingle blow-off, even in high winds.

Dynasty-Shingle

1. Built-In Algae Resistance

IKO Nordic shingles have special algae-resistant granules embedded in their surface to help inhibit the growth of blue-green algae which can cause unattractive black stains, streaks and discoloration.

2. Designed to Lie Down and Stay Down

Shingles are meant to lie flat and stay put on your roof. If the wind lifts them up, water from ice dams or wind-driven rain can enter in underneath and may cause a leaky roof. Our shingles have IKO FastLock® sealant along their bottom edges. When activated by the sun’s heat, it gets extra-tacky and creates a strong bond to help ensure maximum protection against wind uplift, blow-off and water penetration.

3. Extra Blow-off Protection

Printed nail line guides installers to position and fasten the shingles correctly, to help keep them on the roof and prevent them from blowing off in high wind.

4. Its Fiberglass Mat Gives IKO Nordic its Inner Strength

At the heart of every IKO Nordic shingle is a tough, resilient fiberglass mat. We coat it top and bottom with Polymer-Modified Asphalt, which is formulated to be extremely flexible.  IKO Nordic is one heavy-duty shingle you can count on for its durability and structural integrity.
