PRODUCTS TO BE SHOWCASED AT BOOTH #1909: 

Innovi™TPO Single-Ply Commercial Roofing Membrane Systems

InnoviTPO Single-Ply Roofing Systems offers the latest commercial innovation from IKO, available in Canada and the eastern U.S. The new thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membrane systems expand on the company’s low-slope roofing expertise. Designed for exceptional performance, InnoviTPO single-ply roofing membranes are the culmination of significant investment in breakthrough processing technologies and a proprietary weathering formulation, known as MATRIX™.

Offered in 100- or 200-foot rolls, the membranes are available in 45-, 60- and 80-mil thicknesses, with widths ranging from 5 to 12 feet, and they come in white, grey or tan. Suitable for use with mechanically attached, fully adhered or induction-welded roofing systems, IKO’s InnoviTPO is heat-welded at the seams to create a continuous, water-resistant roofing membrane for low-slope commercial roofs.

Dynasty® Class 3 — Residential

IKO’s acclaimed Dynasty® premium-quality laminated performance shingles will now carry a Class 3 impact resistance rating*, which further distinguishes it as a top-performing shingle, offering peace of mind and protection from inclement weather. Depending on geographic location, with the new Class 3 rating, some homeowners may qualify for discounts on their insurance policy. 

Dynasty performance shingles feature ArmourZone®, a reinforced woven band that fortifies the nail zone to help resist tears and blow-offs. In addition, IKO’s FastLock™ sealant quickly creates a strong bond to keep the shingles in place even in extremely high winds. Built with a 1 ¼-inch nailing zone to create an enlarged nailing area for a faster, easier and more accurate installation, this shingle’s large 5 ⅞-inch exposure area and True Square Advantage means three shingle bundles will always match a true roofing square and create a look that homeowners will love. With advanced high-definition, color-blending technology, the design is available in 13 nature-inspired fresh, bold colors. For more information, see our launch video here.

IKO now offers two of its Designer Shingles lines, Armourshake™ and Crowne Slate™, with a Class 4 impact resistance rating*. By expanding these beautiful designs with industry-leading performance and unmatched durability, IKO marries aesthetic appeal with enhanced peace of mind.

Mimicking the look and feel of natural slate tiles or cedar shakes without the associated maintenance worries and cost, Armourshake and Crowne Slate deliver the ultimate in weather protection for estate homes and other high-caliber properties.
