Overview
Nordic is a performance asphalt shingle made by IKO for steep-slope roofing in the United States. It is a laminated, two-piece shingle made with polymer-modified asphalt on a fiberglass reinforcement, and it carries a Class 4 impact resistance rating.
It is made in IKO's Advantage size, so three bundles give full square coverage. It is part of IKO's Performance Collection with Dynasty and is sold in select markets. The data sheet is dated 04/2026.
Construction and features
The fiberglass mat has an extra-thick coating of polymer-modified asphalt, embedded with algae-resistant granules. The ArmourZone nailing surface is woven and wider than a standard architectural shingle's. The shingle is offered in a range of enhanced color blends with a textured look.
