IKO Cambridge Shingles — Classic Protection
America’s most popular architectural shingle, delivering timeless beauty and dependable weather defense. IKO Cambridge shingles combine dual-layer construction with the widest color palette in the industry — installed with care by Faith Roofing Group across East Texas.
The Cambridge Advantage
IKO Cambridge shingles have earned their reputation as the go-to architectural shingle for homeowners who want proven performance without the premium price tag. The dual-layer laminated construction creates a dimensional profile that adds visual depth and shadow lines to your roofline, giving your home the appearance of a much more expensive roofing material while delivering genuine, tested weather protection year after year.
What makes Cambridge the most installed IKO shingle in the East Texas market is the combination of affordability, durability, and aesthetic versatility. Cambridge is also manufactured in IKO’s exclusive Advantage size — physically larger than most competitors’ comparable architectural products — which lets roofers install the shingle faster and creates a more dramatic exposure across each course. Whether your home features warm brick, painted siding, natural stone, or stucco, the Cambridge palette includes a color blend that will complement your exterior and enhance your curb appeal without requiring a premium investment.
The Cambridge shingle is engineered to handle the specific challenges of the East Texas climate. The fiberglass mat core provides dimensional stability in high heat, while the specially formulated asphalt coating resists the effects of UV exposure and thermal cycling that degrade lesser shingles over time. The granule surface includes algae-resistant technology that prevents the dark streaking commonly seen on roofs throughout humid regions of Southeast Texas, keeping your roof looking clean and fresh for years without the need for chemical treatments or pressure washing.
IKO backs every Cambridge shingle with their Limited Lifetime warranty, providing coverage for manufacturing defects and wind damage up to 110 miles per hour when installed using IKO’s recommended application methods. Faith Roofing Group follows these specifications on every Cambridge installation, ensuring your warranty protection is complete and uncompromised from the day your new roof is finished.
Cambridge Performance Specs
Proven architectural performance built on decades of field testing and engineering refinement across millions of residential installations nationwide.
Dual-Layer Design
Two layers of fiberglass-reinforced asphalt are laminated together to create a thick, dimensional shingle that resists curling, cracking, and wind uplift. The dual-layer construction distributes stress across a wider area, improving fastener retention and overall roof system integrity even under sustained wind loads.
110 MPH Wind
Cambridge shingles are rated for wind resistance up to 110 miles per hour when installed per IKO specifications. The self-sealing adhesive strip activates with sun exposure to bond each shingle to the one below, creating a continuous wind-resistant barrier across the entire roof surface that holds firm during East Texas thunderstorms.
Lifetime Warranty
IKO’s Limited Lifetime warranty covers the Cambridge shingle against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the original homeowner. The warranty includes wind damage coverage at 110 mph for the first fifteen years and remains transferable to subsequent owners for up to twenty-five years after the original installation date.
10 Color Blends
Cambridge ships in ten high-definition color blends ranging from deep charcoals and rich browns through warm cedar tones, weathered wood, slate greys, and a clean Dove White option. Each color uses IKO’s multi-granule blending process to create natural-looking variation across every shingle, with the dimensional profile producing deep shadow lines that read like much costlier roofing materials.
Inside Cambridge
Five engineering details that explain why Cambridge has been IKO’s most popular architectural shingle for decades. Every Cambridge roof we install carries these features as standard, not upgrades.
IKO Advantage Size
Cambridge ships in IKO’s exclusive Advantage dimension, physically larger than most competitors’ comparable architectural shingles. Larger shingles mean faster installation and a more dramatic exposure per course, giving every Cambridge roof a designer-grade appearance pulled directly from IKO’s flagship engineering.
FastLock Sealant Strip
A run of IKO FastLock sealant along the bottom edge of every shingle activates under the sun’s heat, growing extra-tacky to bond each shingle to the course below. The result is stronger resistance to wind uplift, blow-off, and wind-driven rain trying to work its way under the shingle.
Printed Nail Line
A factory-printed nail line on the front of every Cambridge shingle guides installers to position fasteners exactly where IKO’s engineering specifies. Correctly placed nails are the single biggest factor in long-term wind resistance, and the printed guide eliminates the guesswork that often produces premature blow-off failures on competitor shingles.
Built-In Algae Resistance
Special algae-resistant granules are embedded into the Cambridge surface to inhibit the growth of blue-green algae, the organism responsible for the dark vertical streaks that prematurely age many roofs in humid East Texas neighborhoods. Your roof keeps a clean, fresh appearance for years longer.
Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Mat
Cambridge’s structural core is a heavy-duty fiberglass mat coated top and bottom with weathering asphalt, then surfaced with protective colored granules. The dual-layer laminated construction adds dimensional thickness and shadow depth without sacrificing the dimensional stability that fiberglass mats provide in high heat.
Affordable Designer Look
Cambridge delivers the visual depth of natural wood shake or slate at a fraction of the installed cost. Multi-granule blending creates realistic shadow lines and color variation across every shingle, and the dimensional profile reads from the curb like a much more expensive roof. Beauty you can see, quality you can feel.
