Fiberglass shingle DIAMANT PLUS

Euroclass Efor roof

If you are looking for a triangular shaped shingle that exceeds the most demanding worldwide roofing standards, Diamant PLUS is one the best options (together with the Monarch Diamant). Thanks to its stable fiberglass inlay and the durable and protective surface covered with granules, Diamant PLUS can be used on each roof with a slope between 15° and 85°. Roof shingles with high quality fiberglass Diamant PLUS is being produced in Europe. To meet the stringent European standards, IKO Shingles only uses glass fiber. Organic shingles (felt inlay) don’t meet the EN norms. Even though IKO only offers a high quality fiberglass (and not felt!) based asphalt shingle, fiberglass roof shingles often suffer from confusion with very poor quality organic felt shingles on the market (also known as felt tiles or felt roof tiles). Do not be confused, they are not the same! Fiberglass inlays, like used in our IKO shingles, offer a strong and durable shingle, resistant to all kind of weather conditions. Organic felt inlay (which is used in felt shingles, felt tiles or felt roof tiles and – just to be clear - NOT in IKO Shingles) on the other side is less waterproof and fireproof, because felt shingles are very porous. They absorb humidity, which after temperature and weather differences can lead to premature and disastrous curling and cracking of these felt shingles. Shingles with fiberglass inlay, like IKO roof shingles, are the safe option. Fireproof roof shingles All IKO Shingles have undergone fire testing (external fire performance and reaction to fire) by an independent Belgian institute and have a BRoofT1 attest, which means that IKO Roof Shingles are fireproof.
