IKO announced the expansion of its Dynasty Cool Colors Plus shingle line by introducing five new striking colors. These additions offer homeowners an expanded palette to complement their architectural style while being suitable for use to comply with California’s cool roof requirements. The new color options include Dual Brown, Graphite Black, Pebble Grey, Bayshore, and Coastal Sands.
“We’re thrilled to introduce our Dynasty Cool Colors Plus line with these vibrant new options,” said Vince Carrier, residential product development manager at IKO North America. “These additions not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also maintain the exceptional durability and performance that homeowners have come to expect. This expansion truly reflects IKO’s commitment to ‘Roofing Elevated.'”
The Dynasty Cool Colors Plus shingles are designed to exceed the minimum reflectivity standards by 25%, making them an ideal choice for Los Angeles residents navigating the region’s cool roofing regulations. Their vibrant color blends and specially designed granules minimize heat transmission into attics, achieving high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) ratings.
Key Features of Dynasty Cool Colors Plus Shingles:
- Cool Roof Compliance: The shingles can be used to comply with California Title 24, Part 6 requirements and Los Angeles City and County roof reflectance Title requirements with an SRI of 20-plus.
- Class 3 Impact Resistance Rating: These heavy-duty laminated shingles feature a Class 3 impact resistance rating* thanks to their heavy-weight construction and thick coating of weathering asphalt, helping homeowners qualify for reduced residential insurance premiums, if offered.
- ArmourZone Technology: Thanks to the addition of the ArmourZone, the shingles have been designed to resist high winds and feature a limited wind resistance warranty of 130 mph (210 km/h). The shingles have tear-resistant reinforced tape on the back to prevent nail pull-through and shingle blow-off. Additionally, a 1.25-inch-wide nailing surface on the front ensures accurate nail placement for stronger and faster installation.
- FastLock Sealant: Activated by the sun’s heat, IKO FastLock sealant strips form a strong bond to protect against wind-driven rain and water damage.
- Durability and Protection: The shingles are coated with weathering asphalt and topped with protective granules, ensuring exceptional durability and structural integrity.
Dynasty Cool Colors Plus offers a unique combination of performance features. The integration of ArmourZone technology enhances durability, providing superior resistance to high winds and impact. This is complemented by a Class 3 Impact Resistance rating and FastLock Sealant for wind-driven rain protection, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance in harsh weather conditions. Additionally, integrating solar reflective granules enhances energy efficiency, achieving a 20-plus SRI, making it one of the most versatile shingles available.
