IKO Nordic Shingles in Edmonton
IKO Nordic is a Class 4 impact-rated architectural asphalt shingle with the ArmourZone® nailing strip and a 130 mph wind warranty, making it one of the most hail-resistant shingles available for Edmonton homes.
What Nordic Is — and Who It’s For
Nordic is IKO’s impact-resistant performance shingle. It shares Dynasty’s ArmourZone® reinforced nailing strip and FastLock® sealant, but adds a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating — the highest rating against hail. Visually it’s a dimensional architectural shingle with rich, high-definition colour blends.
For hail-prone Alberta, Nordic is the IKO line we point homeowners to first — especially those who’ve been hit by hail before or want the best chance at a potential insurance premium reduction.
