IKO shingles vs Chinese shingles• External: shingle.• Technical characteristics China bad/not reliable

– Mechanical: tensile width & length, nail tear

elongation width and length : upto 20 % less

– Bitumen leaking between granules:

• Extremely important• Substantial decrease of the lifespam of shingles.  (damage of bitumen by UV) dimensions of granule

• Quality of the granules?– granule loss after short period– bitumen exposure after granule loss– colour stability?– blistering

Blistering

• Problems with self seal dots (sticking of the sheets to each other)• No/problems with colour blends (lamination effect on roof?)
