Why Install IKO Shingles On Your Southeast Florida Home?

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.

Shared Features Across All IKO Architectural Shingles

  • Architectural Profile: Multi-layer, dimensional design for standout curb appeal.
  • High-Definition Color Blends: Vibrant granules for deep contrast and rich tones.
  • Algae Resistance: Built-in protection helps limit blue-green algae staining.
  • Class A Fire Rating: Top-tier protection against external flame exposure.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty: Manufacturer coverage for lasting confidence.

Built for Tough Conditions

Treasure Coast weather can be demanding. Dynasty shingles are engineered to handle it with:

ArmourZone® Technology

A 1¼-inch reinforced nailing strip helps resist nail pull-through and blow-offs. The wider target zone speeds installation and supports consistent fastening.

FastLock® Sealant

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.

Breakdown of IKO’s Performance Shingles

IKO Cambridge® Shingles: The Proven Favorite

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.

Key Benefits

  • Laminated Strength: Built to stand up to sun, rain, and salty coastal air with less curling and cracking over time.
  • Wide Color Selection: An extensive palette to complement nearly any exterior style.
  • Value Forward: Architectural look and solid weather protection at a lower price than Dynasty or Nordic.

Limitations

  • No ArmourZone® Strip: Does not include the reinforced nail zone found in higher-tier lines.
  • Lower Impact Rating: Not designated as Class 3 or Class 4 for impact resistance.

IKO Dynasty® Shingles: Bold Style, Storm-Ready

Overview
Designed for homeowners who want both standout style and stronger weather performance, Dynasty features IKO’s ArmourZone® reinforced nailing area and FastLock® adhesive to help resist high winds and nail pull-through.

Key Benefits

  • Class 3 Impact Resistance: Added protection against hail and wind-borne debris.
  • ArmourZone® Reinforced Nailing Strip: A 1¼″-wide zone that helps reduce blow-through and uplift during severe weather.
  • Wind Resistance Up to 130 mph: When installed to code and manufacturer guidelines.
  • FastLock® Sealant: Aggressive bonding to help guard against wind uplift and water intrusion.
  • Oversized Exposure (5 7/8″): Larger format can streamline installation and create a consistent, dimensional look.

Limitations

  • Standard Oxidized Asphalt: Lacks the extra flexibility of polymer-modified options like Nordic.
  • Class 3 (Not Class 4): Excellent for many climates, but may not meet insurance discount thresholds in severe hail zones.

IKO Nordic™ Shingles: Top-Tier Protection

Overview
Built for the toughest conditions, Nordic uses SBS polymer-modified asphalt for enhanced elasticity and impact absorption—especially beneficial in colder temps and during severe storms.

Key Benefits

  • Class 4 Impact Resistance: The highest impact rating available for asphalt shingles.
  • SBS-Modified Asphalt Core: Adds flexibility and “shock-absorber” resilience under impact.
  • ArmourZone® + FastLock®: Reinforced nailing and strong sealing for a storm-ready system.
  • Wind Resistance Up to 130 mph: With proper installation per IKO specifications.
  • Heavier, Robust Build: One of IKO’s stoutest architectural shingles.

Limitations

  • Premium Price Tier: Advanced materials and performance come at a higher cost.
  • Selective Availability: Check with Panda Contractors for current availability in your area.

Which IKO Shingle Should You Choose?

  • Cambridge® — Choose this line if you want a cost-effective architectural shingle that delivers dependable protection and classic curb appeal.
  • Dynasty® — Pick this option for a storm-ready roof with boosted wind and impact performance, plus vibrant, high-definition color blends.
  • Nordic™ — Go with Nordic when maximum protection is your priority—excellent impact resistance, robust wind performance, and confidence in harsh conditions.


No matter your choice,
Panda Contractors installs to manufacturer specifications, helps you navigate warranty coverage, and ensures your roof is built for Treasure Coast weather.
