The Dynasty Difference

IKO Dynasty shingles represent the pinnacle of architectural roofing performance. Engineered with IKO’s exclusive ArmourZone technology, these shingles feature a reinforced nailing area that provides superior fastener holding power — giving your roof a stronger bond against wind uplift and extreme weather conditions that are common throughout the East Texas region.

What sets Dynasty apart from other architectural shingles is its Class 3 impact resistance rating under the UL 2218 testing standard. Dynasty shingles have been tested to withstand the force of a 1.75-inch steel ball dropped from seventeen feet, simulating moderately large hailstones common to East Texas spring storms. For homeowners in Huntsville, Conroe, and the surrounding Walker County communities, this level of protection provides genuine peace of mind and can qualify you for an insurance premium discount in many cases.

Dynasty is also manufactured in IKO’s exclusive Advantage size, physically larger than most competitors’ comparable architectural products. The greater shingle exposure per course produces a more dramatic roofline that emphasizes Dynasty’s deep shadow lines and dimensional profile rather than burying it under tighter overlap. Pick one up by hand and you can feel the heft, courtesy of a thick coating of weathering asphalt over a heavy-duty fiberglass mat.

Dynasty shingles also deliver exceptional curb appeal with their high-definition color blends. The granule pattern creates deep shadow lines that mimic the look of natural slate or cedar shake, adding an upscale aesthetic to any home without the cost or maintenance of those premium materials. With a curated palette ranging from warm earth tones to bold accent shades like Atlantic Blue and Monaco Red, Dynasty allows you to customize your roof to complement any architectural style.

Every Dynasty shingle is backed by IKO’s Limited Lifetime warranty, covering manufacturing defects and providing wind resistance protection up to 130 miles per hour when installed according to IKO’s high-wind application specifications. Faith Roofing Group is trained in these specific installation methods, ensuring your warranty coverage remains fully intact from day one.

Dynasty Performance Specs

Built for the toughest conditions East Texas can deliver, every Dynasty shingle is engineered to exceed standard requirements across all critical performance categories.

Class 3 Impact

Dynasty passes the UL 2218 Class 3 impact resistance test, absorbing the force of a 1.75-inch steel ball dropped from seventeen feet without cracking, splitting, or losing granules. The Class 3 rating qualifies many Texas homeowners for a documented insurance premium discount, depending on carrier.

130 MPH Wind

ArmourZone technology reinforces the nailing strip with a wider, stronger adhesive zone that grips fasteners more securely than conventional shingles. When installed per IKO high-wind specifications, Dynasty resists uplift at sustained winds up to 130 miles per hour.

Lifetime Warranty

IKO’s Limited Lifetime warranty covers material defects for the life of the original owner, with full transferability for up to 25 years. The warranty also includes 15-year wind resistance coverage at the full 130 mph threshold when properly installed.

ArmourZone Tech

IKO’s proprietary ArmourZone nailing area is the widest in the industry, providing a more forgiving target for installers and a stronger bond once fastened. This technology is exclusive to the Dynasty line and directly contributes to its superior wind performance.

Inside Dynasty

Six engineering details that separate Dynasty from standard architectural shingles. Each one contributes to the shingle’s heavyweight performance and signature curb appeal — and to the warranty coverage that backs every Faith Roofing installation.

IKO Advantage Size

Dynasty shingles are manufactured in IKO’s exclusive Advantage dimension, physically larger than most competitors’ comparable architectural products. Greater per-course exposure produces a more dramatic roofline that emphasizes Dynasty’s deep shadow lines and dimensional profile.

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 surface.

Built-In Algae Resistance

Copper-coated granules are embedded directly into the Dynasty surface to inhibit the growth of blue-green algae, the organism responsible for the dark vertical streaks that age many roofs prematurely. Your roof keeps its showroom appearance for years longer in the East Texas humidity.

Tear-Resistant Reinforcement

On the back of every Dynasty shingle, IKO bonds a tear-resistant reinforcement tape directly behind the ArmourZone nailing area. This second layer of fastening strength helps prevent nail pull-through during high winds, one of the most common failure points in standard architectural shingles.

Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Mat

Dynasty’s structural core is a heavy-duty fiberglass mat coated top and bottom with weathering asphalt, then surfaced with protective colored granules. This thick coating qualifies the shingle for its Class 3 impact resistance rating and gives Dynasty the hand-felt heft you sense the moment you pick one up.

1¼” Wide Nailing Strip

The visible 1.25-inch ArmourZone on the front of each shingle is the widest nailing target in the industry, a forgiving area that guides roofers to correct nail placement on the first pass. Wider, accurate nailing means a faster install with fewer mistakes and a more secure roof system overall.

Why Faith Roofing + IKO

Our partnership with IKO means better materials, better pricing, and better warranty protection for every homeowner we serve across East Texas.

Certified Installation

Faith Roofing Group’s installers are trained and certified in IKO’s specific application methods. This certification is not just a badge — it is a requirement for activating IKO’s full warranty coverage. Every Dynasty roof we install meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, from starter strips and underlayment to ridge cap placement and high-wind fastener patterns. Our certified status means your warranty is fully backed from the moment we complete your project.

Best Regional Pricing

As an established IKO partner in the East Texas region, Faith Roofing Group has negotiated preferred pricing on the full Dynasty product line. We purchase materials direct through IKO’s distribution network, cutting out middlemen and passing the savings directly to homeowners. You get a premium, Class 3-rated roofing system at a price that competes with standard architectural shingles from other manufacturers. We provide transparent, itemized quotes so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.

Full Warranty Coverage

When Faith Roofing Group installs your Dynasty roof, you receive IKO’s complete warranty package — not a reduced or limited version. This includes the Limited Lifetime material warranty, 15-year wind resistance coverage at 130 mph, and algae resistance protection. Because we follow IKO’s certified installation process to the letter, there are no gaps in your coverage. If a warranty issue ever arises, we handle the entire claim process on your behalf.

Premium at Affordable Prices

Many homeowners assume premium impact-rated shingles are out of reach financially. Our IKO partnership changes that equation entirely. Dynasty shingles installed by Faith Roofing Group typically cost fifteen to twenty percent less than comparable Class 3 architectural products from competing manufacturers. When you factor in the insurance premium discount that a documented Class 3 rating can qualify you for, the Dynasty system often pays for itself within the first several years through reduced annual insurance costs.

Dynasty Shingle FAQs

Common questions about IKO Dynasty shingles answered by the Faith Roofing Group team.

How long do IKO Dynasty shingles last?
IKO Dynasty shingles are backed by a Limited Lifetime warranty and are engineered to provide decades of reliable protection. In the East Texas climate, where heat, humidity, and severe storms are regular factors, Dynasty shingles are rated to maintain their structural integrity and weather resistance for thirty years or more when properly installed and maintained. The algae-resistant granules also help preserve the aesthetic appearance of the roof throughout its lifespan, preventing the dark streaking that affects many other shingle products.
Will Dynasty shingles lower my insurance premiums?
In most cases, yes. Because IKO Dynasty shingles carry a Class 3 impact resistance rating under UL 2218, many Texas insurance companies offer a premium discount for homes with a documented Class 3 rated roof — commonly in the ten to fifteen percent range, though the exact figure depends on your carrier and location within the state. We recommend contacting your insurance provider before your project begins so you can factor the potential savings into your overall investment calculation. Faith Roofing Group can provide documentation of the Class 3 rating for your insurance file. The IKO impact resistance rating is intended for the purpose of obtaining an insurance reduction where available; it is not a guarantee of damage prevention from hail.
What colors are available for Dynasty shingles?
IKO Dynasty shingles are available in approximately twelve high-definition color blends. Warm earth tones include Brownstone, Shadow Brown, and Cornerstone. Cooler neutrals include Glacier, Frostone Grey, and Granite Black. Bolder accent options include Atlantic Blue, Monaco Red, Emerald Green, and Sentinel Slate, with Biscayne and Driftshake rounding out the palette. Each color uses IKO’s multi-granule blending process that creates realistic depth and shadow lines across the roof surface. Color availability can vary by region and season, so we always recommend requesting physical color samples before making a final selection. Faith Roofing Group keeps the most popular East Texas color options in stock for faster project turnaround.
How much do IKO Dynasty shingles cost installed?
The installed cost of IKO Dynasty shingles varies based on roof size, complexity, the number of penetrations and valleys, and the condition of the existing decking and underlayment. As an IKO certified partner with preferred pricing, Faith Roofing Group typically offers Dynasty installations at fifteen to twenty percent below the prices quoted by competitors using comparable Class 3 architectural products. We provide free, detailed quotes that break down every line item so there are no surprises. Call (936) 900-7790 for a same-week quote.
What is ArmourZone technology?
ArmourZone is IKO’s proprietary reinforced nailing zone that is exclusive to the Dynasty shingle line. Traditional shingles have a narrow nailing area where installers must place fasteners within a small target strip. ArmourZone widens this area significantly and reinforces it with additional adhesive, creating a stronger bond between the shingle and the roof deck. This means better wind resistance, fewer installation errors, and a more secure roof system overall. It is one of the primary reasons Dynasty achieves its 130 mph wind rating.
Can Dynasty shingles be installed over an existing roof?
While Texas building code allows a second layer of shingles in some cases, Faith Roofing Group recommends a full tear-off for Dynasty installations. Removing the existing shingles allows our crew to inspect the roof deck for damage, replace any compromised decking, and install a proper ice and water shield underlayment. This approach ensures the Dynasty shingles perform to their full specification and that your IKO warranty remains valid without exception. A clean installation also provides a flatter surface that shows off Dynasty’s dimensional profile to its best advantage.
