IKO offers architectural and performance shingles designed for homeowners who want dimensional curb appeal, dependable weather protection and impact-resistant options.

IKO Asphalt Shingles
IKO Options for North Texas Roofs
North Texas roofing systems must be prepared for high winds, heavy rain, extreme summer heat and hail-producing storms. IKO offers several shingle lines that allow homeowners to balance cost, appearance, wind protection and impact resistance.
Greenleaf Roofing helps homeowners compare the entire system—not simply the color or price of the shingle. The right recommendation depends on the home, roof design, ventilation, surrounding conditions, budget and the homeowner's long-term priorities.

Impact ratings are not a guarantee against hail damage. Hail damage is not covered under IKO's limited shingle warranty. An impact-rated roof may qualify for an insurance discount where available, but homeowners must confirm eligibility and requirements directly with their insurance carrier.

How the Shingles Are Built
IKO Roofing Technology
ArmourZone
Available on Dynasty and Nordic shingles, ArmourZone provides a wider, reinforced fastening area. This helps installers place nails accurately and improves resistance to nail pull-through and wind uplift when the shingles are installed according to IKO's requirements.
FastLock Sealant
FastLock is IKO's factory-applied sealant strip. Heat from the sun activates the sealant, helping the shingles bond together and resist wind uplift and wind-driven rain.
True Square Advantage
IKO's True Square Advantage is designed to provide consistent shingle dimensions and coverage, helping produce clean courses and a uniform finished appearance.
Impact-Resistant Options
Cambridge and Dynasty carry Class 3 impact ratings. Nordic carries a Class 4 impact rating. These classifications may be helpful in hail-prone areas, but no asphalt shingle should be advertised as hail-proof.
Algae Resistance
Cambridge, Dynasty and Nordic incorporate protection intended to help resist the dark streaking associated with blue-green algae.

ArmourZone is a reinforced and wider nailing area used on Dynasty and Nordic shingles. It is intended to improve nail placement and resistance to nail pull-through and wind uplift.
It is a limited manufacturer warranty—not a guarantee that the roof cannot sustain wind damage. The rating requires specific installation methods, materials and fastening patterns. All current IKO requirements must be followed.
The featured products offer limited lifetime warranty coverage, but “lifetime” has a specific meaning in IKO's warranty. Coverage, transferability, exclusions and initial protection periods are governed by the current written warranty.
Online tools are helpful for narrowing the options, but monitor settings, lighting and manufacturing variations can affect color appearance. Final color selections should be made from current full-size physical samples.
