IKO shingles are organized into several levels or tiers based on quality, appearance, and price, ranging from budget three-tab to premium designer. The entry level is three-tab shingles, represented by IKO Marathon, a basic 20 to 25-year three-tab shingle for budget and utility projects. Next is the architectural shingle level, which is most popular, including IKO Cambridge, the flagship architectural shingle with dual-layer construction and many color options, and IKO Dynasty with ArmourZone, which features a wider nailing area for improved fastening and 130 mph wind warranty. Next is the premium architectural level, including IKO Dynasty with ArmourZone and IKO Nordic which is made with polymer-modified asphalt for better performance in cold climates and impact resistance. Next is the designer or luxury level, which mimics natural materials, including IKO Crowne Slate which mimics natural slate, and IKO ArmourShake which mimics wood shake. The highest level is IKO Royal Estate and IKO ArmourShake heavyweight designer shingles that offer most luxurious appearance and weight up to 350 pounds per square. Each higher level offers better durability, appearance, and warranty, with price ranging from 70 dollars per square for three-tab to 120 to 250 dollars for designer. IKO also offers Class 4 impact options in some lines.
