2. The width of the shim

Cambridge laminated shingles are produced with a nailing zone. Compared to laminated shingles from the products in the test, IKO’s nailing lane is up to 2-3 times larger. This makes sure that every nail comes through the two layers of wide shim, which means a correct nail placement. In our opinion, the smaller nailing areas of the products in the competitors test make it easy to poorly install the shingles.

3. Lamination and gluing system

Laminated shingles are produced from two parts which are glued together with special modified bitumen. The products in the competitors test only use 3 lines, while the gluing together of IKO laminated shingles is done with five strips of bitumen. In our opinion, this makes IKO shingles the most developed option.
