IKO Felt Roof Shingles | Straight

Durable, Weatherproof Roofing for Garden Buildings

Manufactured by IKO, the world-renowned leader in roofing solutions, these Straight Bitumen Felt Roof Shingles deliver an attractive, tiled finish with superior weather resistance for log cabins, summerhouses, gazebos, and garden sheds. Available in Black, Green, Red, Brown, and Blue, you can easily match your roof to your garden aesthetic or timber treatment.

Key Benefits

• Generous Coverage: Each pack covers 3m² of roof area.
• Self-Sealing Weather Protection: Every shingle features an integrated bitumen adhesive strip that activates in the warmth of the sun, bonding tiles together against wind lift and driving rain.
• Lightweight & Easy to Customise: Simple to cut and shape around roof edges, ridges, and apexes without heavy-duty tools.
• 5 Colour Options: Choose from traditional slate tones to natural woodland shades.

How Many Packs Do You Need?

• Pent / Flat Roofs (min. 10° pitch): (Length × Width) ÷ 3
• Apex / Pitched Roofs: ((Length × Width) × 1.3) ÷ 3 (This allowance covers the required double starter course at the eaves and cut ridge caps).

Installation & Recommended Accessories

• Roof Pitch: Suitable for roofs with a gradient of 10° or greater. For shallower pitches, increase the tile overlap, use a full felt underlay to prevent wicking, and apply shingle adhesive to every tab.
• Felt Shingle Glue: While the self-sealing bitumen strip bonds in warm weather, we strongly recommend applying IKO Shingle Glue to the first leading edge, ridge tiles, on exposed sites, or when fitting during colder UK months.
• Underlay Membrane: Optional for standard leisure buildings, though installing a Type 3B glass fibre underlay or standard roofing felt adds secondary waterproofing protection.
