Cambridge Xpress = the biggest laminated architectural shingle
Not to bother you with too much technical details, but the average laminated or architectural roof shingle offered on the market measures 1000 x 336 mm. With Cambridge Xpress IKO Shingles offers a laminated shingle with dimensions 1038 x 349 mm. This larger shingle size is more efficient as it means more coverage on your roof in faster time. Good news for roofers! Our Canadian IKO colleagues proved in a clear movie how easy and fast the shingles application becomes when using this larger IKO laminated architectural shingle.

Dimensional shingle in beautiful natural colours
Cambridge Xpress has a unique look and feel: it makes your house look a bit classical, somehow traditional but still contemporary. Thanks to its 8 natural colours Cambridge Xpress suits every home. These 8 colours are carefully designed with blends of granules. The original purpose of these granules is to protect the waterproof bitumen on your shingles. This protection could be guaranteed by other material as well, but only granules combine this protection with great esthetics. IKO coated granules are carefully blended to assure beautiful natural colours. These shingle granules are finished with a coating to prevent colour fading.
