Application instructions
It is essential to allow heat dissipation and water vapour to escape the roof system through proper ventilation. Therefore, air must be able to circulate freely between insulation and the nailable roof deck, from the eaves to the ridges.
On roof pitches 15°- 40° the minimum net free ventilation area is 33 cm²,
on 41°- 85° min. net free ventilation area is 16 cm² for each 1 m² of insulated ceiling area (P),
always divided evenly between the eaves and the ridge.
Fix the Armourvent Multi every 35 cm on both sides with long nails.

We believe that IKO’s expertise crushes quality of the products tested in the competitors test – part 1.
We often get the question: Why would we choose IKO? Why wouldn’t we go for a shingle manufactured by a Russian or American competitor? Our most important answer only contains one word: quality. The shingles IKO offers worldwide are made with years of knowledge and expertise. Of course talk is cheap, so we decided to prove our quality with some simple, yet important comparison tests.
Keep in mind that a proper application is one of the most critical aspects of a successful roofing project. Incorrect placement of nails is a leading cause of many problems on roofs, especially causing leaks and wind blowing off poorly installed shingles. Compared to the products in the competitors test, we believe that the manufacturing process of IKO’s laminated shingles (Cambridge) offers a better, more developed protection against these roofing problems.
In our opinion, the products tested in the competitors test don’t stand a chance on the following topics:
1. The size of the shingle
2. The width of the shim
3. Lamination and gluing system
4. Security of gluing
5. Nailing zone and angle cut.
Today we take a look at the size of the shingle, the width of the shim and the gluing system.
1. The size of the shingle
With a length of 1038 mm and a width of 349 mm the Cambridge Xpress and Cambridge Xtreme 9,5° shingle is the biggest shingle in this range. None of the products tested does better.
