It is not just asphalt. A few IKO features are what let these roofs stand up to prairie wind and hail.
A reinforced nailing zone — about 40% wider — that grips fasteners and resists blow-off and tearing in high wind.
Nordic shingles use a flexible, impact-absorbing asphalt that earns the highest Class 4 hail rating — ideal for Alberta.
Performance shingles like Dynasty and Nordic carry a 130 mph wind rating to stand up to prairie storms.
Many IKO lines resist the blue-green algae streaking that can stain a roof over time, keeping the look cleaner for longer.
