IKO is a worldwide innovator in roofing, recognized for advances in wind resistance, impact performance, and architectural curb appeal. Whether you’re refreshing an older roof or upgrading to a higher-end system, IKO shingles offer dependable protection backed by limited lifetime warranties and modern design.
All three—Cambridge®, Dynasty®, and Nordic™—are laminate (architectural) asphalt shingles that deliver a dimensional, wood-shake look. Beneath the appearance, the materials and technology differ by line to address specific performance needs.
Treasure Coast weather can be demanding. Dynasty shingles are engineered to handle it with:
A 1¼-inch reinforced nailing strip helps resist nail pull-through and blow-offs. The wider target zone speeds installation and supports consistent fastening.
An aggressive adhesive strip promotes a tight bond between shingles, improving wind uplift resistance and helping seal out wind-driven rain.
When installed to code and manufacturer specifications, Dynasty carries a Class 3 impact rating and wind protection up to 130 mph.
Overview
A go-to across North America, Cambridge offers dependable performance and a timeless architectural profile at a budget-friendly cost. It’s a smart upgrade from 3-tab shingles, delivering long-term value and curb appeal.
