Product Comparison
What's the Difference?
Cambridge sets the baseline. Dynasty and Nordic add performance features, while the designer lines change the roof profile.
How long should these shingles last?
IKO does not publish a product-specific expected lifespan for these shingles. “Limited Lifetime” is warranty language, not a guarantee of useful roof life. Roof design, installation, ventilation, climate, exposure, and weather events all affect service life.
Architectural and performance shingles
Compare Cambridge with the ArmourZone-reinforced Dynasty and Nordic lines. Nordic adds a Class 4 impact rating.

Impact classifications are laboratory ratings, not hail-damage guarantees. Wind figures are limited wind-warranty terms for the first 15 years, not promises that a roof will withstand every wind event. Coverage requires the specified IKO installation, starter and cap products, proper nailing, and shingles that have sealed or were manually sealed. Product and color availability varies by region.

Questions About IKO
Which IKO shingle should I see first?
Cambridge is a useful baseline for price and appearance. Your inspection will show whether the roof needs a different product path.
How do Cambridge, Dynasty, and Nordic differ?
Cambridge is the everyday architectural choice. Dynasty and Nordic offer different specifications and a more pronounced profile. See available samples and installed prices for your roof.
Can I see IKO colors at my home?
Ask for available samples during the estimate. Daylight, siding, and trim can change how a roof color reads.
