Iko and BP Shingles
Our team of certified roofers can advise you on the selection of asphalt shingles for your roof. The manufacturer Iko as well as the manufacturer BP offer numerous models of asphalt shingles and a multitude of beautiful colors that will complement the exterior cladding of your home or business. Our company can offer you the best roofing covering products. These products (shingles, waterproofing membrane, flashings, etc.) are covered by excellent warranties (up to over 40 years).
Each shingle is equipped with a fiberglass reinforcement, which provides great tear resistance and durability. Moreover, each series of models has its advantages. The High-Performance series, from the manufacturer IKO, was designed so that each shingle resists detachment during extreme winds, as well as black streaks left by blue algae that form on roofs. These stains ruin the appearance of roofs. Algae spores spread from one roof to another in warm and humid periods. Then, the black streaks are very difficult to clean.
The Designer premium model, also from IKO, reproduces the look of overlapping cedar shingles with style. The Cambridge model with three colors gives a sophisticated appearance to roofs. The High-Performance is wider and thicker, while the three-tab model is offered at an advantageous price while also being equipped with high-tech features.
Architectural shingle models, from the manufacturer BP, are equipped with Weather-Tite technology, which consists of a wider nailing surface that is self-adhesive and allows each shingle to be more securely attached. To see all the BP shingle models offered, visit the manufacturer's website.
Maximum Protection for Our Climate
Roofs on houses, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, corporate offices, and institutional buildings (municipal facilities, clinics, libraries, etc.) must not only look good, but also provide effective protection against the elements.
With the extreme temperatures in our province—scorching heat in the summer and freezing cold in the winter—roof waterproofing and ventilation are truly put to the test. Here are the most common issues:
Poorly Protected Eaves: During extreme cold, ice can damage the shingles along the edges of the roof. When the temperature rises, the ice melts and water can seep under the shingles.
To prevent this, the roof must be equipped with strong, durable eave shingles that stay in place at all four corners. Additionally, an eave waterproofing membrane must be installed underneath these shingles to prevent any water infiltration.
Waterproofing Membrane: A waterproof membrane must cover the entire surface of the roof decking to prevent water infiltration if shingles lift due to strong winds.
Properly Sealed Flashings: The flashings around rooftop fixtures (ventilator, plumbing vent, skylight, chimney, etc.) must be properly sealed. The condition of the sealing should be checked every spring and redone if needed.
Efficient Ventilation: Your attic ventilation must be optimal to prevent condensation and mold on ceilings in the winter and excessive humidity in the summer. Soffit vents must not be blocked by insulation, and the roof ventilator must be functioning properly.
