This premium heavyweight, laminated shingle is composed of a dimensionally stable non-woven glass fiber mat, which is thoroughly impregnated with stabilized waterproofing bitumen. IKO Armourshake is distinguished by its random shake-look design, unique color contrast, and superior thermally activated shingle sealant. Colored, ceramic granules surface the tops of both layers of this shingle to protect the asphalt from ultraviolet radiation. Each shingle has release tape and mineral powder applied to the underside, thus preventing any sticking in the bundle. Suitable for application on roof slopes greater than 4:12. Underlayment is strongly recommended for slopes below 6:12.
