About the color: Granite Black
The homeowner picked Granite Black from the IKO Dynasty line. The swatch above is the manufacturer’s image of that blend. On a real roof it will read a little different depending on pitch, which way each slope faces and how much sun it gets. Granite Black has been one of the more popular picks lately: it went on 4 of the roofs in this recent-projects set. If you like it, ask us to bring a full-size piece out and hold it up against your own house.
Materials installed, layer by layer
With IKO Dynasty, the detail that matters most is the ArmourZone nailing strip: a wider, reinforced band where the nails go, so fasteners land where they hold best. Every one of our replacements is a system, not just shingles. On this roof, from the deck up:
- Two layers of synthetic underlayment. That’s double our standard spec. The second layer adds another barrier under the shingles.
- Self-sealing ice and water membrane where water concentrates. It seals around every nail driven through it, which matters in valleys and at the eaves.
- IKO Starter strip along every edge. The first course is where wind gets under a roof. A factory starter with its own sealant line locks it down.
- IKO Hip & Ridge on the hips and peak. Matching cap shingles made for the job, not field shingles cut into pieces.
- Lomanco Omni Roll ridge vent. Continuous exhaust at the peak. Together with the soffit intake, it moves heat and moisture out of the attic.
