Exciting Expansion of IKO's Shingle Collection
IKO is thrilled to announce the addition of a new color, Olde Style Weatherwood, to its line of performance shingles, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This latest offering is set to become available this month throughout the U.S. and Canada, and it will be part of the esteemed IKO Dynasty® and Nordic™ shingle ranges.
Designed with Homeowners in Mind
Vince Carrier, Residential Product Development Manager at IKO North America, expressed enthusiasm about the new color by stating, “IKO Weatherwood has long been a favorite brown blend in our Cambridge line. Our goal with Olde Style Weatherwood is to provide a shade that homeowners will love; it's warm, versatile, and timeless, embodying the performance and protection that IKO is known for.”
Aesthetics and Versatility of Olde Style Weatherwood
This new shade is inspired by the rich hues of natural, aged wood, contributing to a classic atmosphere while maintaining modern appeal. The soft greys and warm browns of Olde Style Weatherwood beautifully complement natural materials such as logs and stone, as well as warm beige, taupe, and cream siding, ensuring it harmonizes with a variety of home designs. It pairs exceptionally well with earthy trim colors like brown or bronze, and adds a grounding effect to metal accents in bronze, copper, or steel finishes.
Performance Features That Homeowners Can Trust
Underpinning both the Dynasty and Nordic shingle lines is the promise of Proven Performance. The Dynasty shingles are constructed with a Class 3 impact rating, while Nordic shingles provide a formidable Class 4 rating, which is the highest for hail impact resistance. These notable ratings may help homeowners with potential reductions in their insurance premiums where applicable.
Both lines are fortified with ArmourZone® technology, ensuring a robust 1 ¼-inch nailing surface and limited wind resistance warranties of up to 130 mph (210 km/h). Additionally, these shingles feature tear-resistant tape backing that aids in preventing blow-off and nail pull-through, combined with FastLock® sealant, activating under sunlight for a strong adhesive quality that combats water infiltration.
Bringing Style and Resilience Together
With the addition of Olde Style Weatherwood, homeowners not only get a stylish roof but also ensure durability and protection for their investments. The IKO shingles are designed to enhance the overall look of homes while standing firm against the elements. Whether you're aiming for a contemporary or traditional look, the new color offers flexibility and charm for all styles of homes.
