How Much Do IKO Shingles Cost?

IKO architectural shingles currently cost about $56 to $62 per bundle in the clearest publicly priced examples available in August 2026. Since Cambridge and Dynasty each cover about 33.3 square feet per bundle, that works out to roughly $168 per roofing square for Cambridge and $184.92 per square for Dynasty before waste, starter shingles, hip and ridge pieces, underlayment, flashing, fasteners, tear-off, disposal, and labor.

A complete IKO roof costs much more than the field shingles. Current 2026 roof-cost data puts a typical shingle-roof replacement around $7,500 to $24,000, with shingle materials alone broadly ranging from about $1.50 to $6 per square foot depending on product type. Roof size, pitch, access, old-roof removal, decking condition, local labor, and accessory materials can move the final contract far more than a small difference in bundle price.

IKO’s current U.S. residential lineup spans traditional Marathon Plus AR three-tab shingles, Cambridge architectural shingles, Dynasty and Nordic performance shingles, and designer products such as Crowne Slate, Armourshake, and Royal Estate. The price per bundle only becomes useful after the bundle coverage is known.

Jump to sections

• Current public seller examples put IKO Cambridge at $56 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 1.9 hours of work, before taxes) per bundle and Dynasty at $61.64 per bundle.
• Cambridge and Dynasty each use about three bundles per 100-square-foot roofing square, producing field-shingle costs of about $168 and $184.92 per square.
• Nordic is IKO’s Class 4 impact-rated performance shingle, while Dynasty and Cambridge carry Class 3 ratings.
• Marathon Plus AR is the current traditional three-tab line and carries a 25-year limited warranty.
• Crowne Slate needs about four bundles per square, while Armourshake needs about five, so premium bundle prices must be compared by coverage rather than sticker price alone.
• A complete shingle-roof replacement commonly costs about $7,500-$24,000, far above the field-shingle bill by itself.

How Much Do IKO Shingles Cost?

IKO does not publish one nationwide retail price because shingles move through regional distributors and retailers. A current Roofing4US price listing shows Cambridge at $56 (about 1.9 hours of work at $30 per hour) per 33.3-square-foot bundle and Dynasty at $61.64 per 33.3-square-foot bundle. Those are current seller examples, not fixed national MSRPs.

IKO product	Current public price example	Coverage per bundle	Bundles per square	Calculated field-shingle cost per square
Cambridge	$56.00/bundle	33.3 sq. ft.	3	$168.00
Dynasty	$61.64/bundle	33.3 sq. ft.	3	$184.92
Nordic	Local quote	33.3 sq. ft.	3	Depends on local supplier
Marathon Plus AR	Local quote	32.3 sq. ft.	3 bundles + 2 shingles	Depends on local supplier
Crowne Slate	Local quote	25 sq. ft.	4	Depends on local supplier
Armourshake	Local quote	20 sq. ft.	5	Depends on local supplier

The table also shows why a bundle price cannot be compared across IKO lines without checking coverage. IKO’s own bundle-coverage chart lists three bundles per square for Cambridge, Dynasty, and Nordic, four for Crowne Slate, and five for Armourshake.

What You’re Actually Buying

A roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. It is not one bundle and it is not 100 individual shingles. Cambridge and Dynasty bundles cover about one-third of a square, while premium designer products can cover less per bundle because their dimensions and exposures differ.

The field shingles are also only one part of the roof system. A reroof can require starter shingles, hip and ridge caps, underlayment, ice and water protection where specified, drip edge, flashing, vents, fasteners, decking repairs, tear-off, disposal, permits, and contractor labor. Some bids include most of these costs in one price while others break them into separate line items.

IKO’s current product families also serve different buyers. Marathon Plus AR is a traditional three-tab shingle. Cambridge is an architectural shingle, not a three-tab product. Dynasty and Nordic are performance shingles, while Crowne Slate, Armourshake, and Royal Estate are designer lines intended to create more distinctive slate- or shake-like roof profiles.

A 2,000-Square-Foot Roof

A 2,000-square-foot roof equals 20 roofing squares. Adding a 10% planning allowance brings the field-shingle quantity to 22 squares. Actual waste depends on valleys, hips, dormers, roof shape, starter layout, and contractor cutting practices.

Worked Cambridge example: Cambridge currently costs $56 (about 1.9 hours of work at $30 per hour) per bundle in the public seller example and uses three bundles per square. Twenty-two squares would require about 66 bundles. The field-shingle calculation is 66 × $56 = $3,696.

Dynasty comparison: 66 bundles at the current $61.64 example cost $4,068.24. The difference between Cambridge and Dynasty on this example roof is $372.24.

That comparison matters because an entire roof replacement may cost many thousands more than either field-shingle total. Paying a few hundred dollars more for a higher product tier can be a modest part of the full contract if the homeowner actually values the additional specifications.

The Hidden Price

Field-shingle calculators often leave out the roof edges and peaks. The same current seller lists IKO Cambridge Hip & Ridge 12 at $111.09 per bundle with about 36.5 linear feet of coverage. A roof needing 110 linear feet of matching hip and ridge material would require about four bundles after rounding up, or roughly $444.36 at that listed price.

Add that $444.36 to the Cambridge field-shingle example and the two shingle categories alone reach $4,140.36. Starter material, underlayment, flashings, fasteners, membrane, delivery, and labor are still outside that calculation.

Roof structure can create an even larger surprise. If tear-off exposes damaged rafters, trusses, or sheathing, repairs have to be made before the new roof is completed. Our guide to roof truss costs shows how structural work can become a separate four- or five-figure issue on some projects.

Cambridge vs Dynasty vs Nordic

Cambridge is IKO’s mainstream architectural line. The current Cambridge specifications show 33 1/3 square feet of coverage per bundle, a Limited Lifetime warranty for qualifying applications, a 110 mph limited wind warranty with a qualifying 130 mph upgrade, and a Class 3 impact rating.

Dynasty adds IKO’s ArmourZone reinforced nailing area and carries a standard 130 mph limited wind warranty. Its current specifications show the same 33 1/3-square-foot bundle coverage, a Limited Lifetime warranty, a 15-year Iron Clad Protection Period, and a Class 3 impact rating.

Nordic is the step-up performance option. IKO’s current Nordic specifications list polymer-modified asphalt, Class 4 impact resistance, a 130 mph limited wind warranty, Limited Lifetime coverage, and a 15-year Iron Clad period. Nordic is only available in select markets.

A Class 3 or Class 4 designation should not be read as a hail-damage guarantee. IKO states on its product pages that the impact ratings may help with insurance-premium eligibility where offered, but hail damage is not covered merely because the shingle carries an impact rating.

Three-Tab and Designer IKO Shingles

IKO’s actual current three-tab shingle is Marathon Plus AR. It covers about 32.3 square feet per package, carries a 25-year limited warranty, has a five-year Iron Clad Protection Period, and carries a 60 mph limited wind warranty. IKO’s coverage chart calls for three bundles plus two shingles per roofing square.

At the premium end, Crowne Slate is designed to mimic slate. It covers about 25 square feet per bundle, so one roofing square requires four bundles. It currently carries a Class 4 impact rating, Limited Lifetime warranty, and 15-year Iron Clad period.

Armourshake produces a shake-style profile. IKO lists 20 square feet of coverage per bundle, meaning five bundles are needed for one square. Current Armourshake specifications include Class 3 and Class 4 configurations depending on product/color availability, along with Limited Lifetime warranty coverage and a 15-year Iron Clad period.

This is why a designer bundle priced only 20% above an architectural bundle could still cost much more per square. Coverage, not bundle count alone, determines the useful material comparison.

IKO Warranty Costs and Limits

IKO’s current warranty center describes the Iron Clad Protection Period as the initial manufacturer-defect protection period before later warranty compensation becomes prorated. Performance products such as Dynasty and Nordic currently receive 15 years of Iron Clad protection under the applicable standard warranty.

IKO ROOFPRO Select and Craftsman Premier contractors can offer extended Iron Clad coverage on qualifying projects. IKO says the contractor must apply for the extended warranty and normally pays a $75 application-processing fee, although that fee is waived for Cambridge and Cambridge Cool Colors in the United States under the current program terms.

The extended warranty does not mean IKO guarantees the roofer’s workmanship. IKO explicitly states that ROOFPRO contractors are independent contractors and that its extended Iron Clad warranty does not cover contractor workmanship. The homeowner should compare the roofer’s own workmanship warranty separately from the manufacturer’s shingle warranty.

Field Shingles vs the Complete Roof

A current 2026 shingle-roof cost survey puts a typical replacement around $7,500 to $24,000. Material-only shingles broadly run about $1.50 to $6 per square foot, or $150 to $600 per roofing square, depending on product.

Compare that with the Cambridge worked example of $3,696 for field shingles on 22 squares including the planning allowance. Even before adding IKO hip and ridge material, the field shingles represent only one part of a project that can include demolition, dump fees, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, wood repairs, safety equipment, and labor.

For another asphalt-brand comparison, our guide to TAMKO shingle costs uses the same bundle-versus-square distinction. Homeowners considering a different roofing system entirely can also compare standing seam metal roof costs.

When IKO Shingles Make Sense

Makes sense if:

• A local IKO distributor or roofer offers competitive delivered pricing on the line you want.
• You compare bundle coverage and cost per roofing square rather than the bundle sticker price alone.
• Dynasty or Nordic features fit the wind and impact performance you are paying to obtain.
• The contractor spells out starter, ridge, underlayment, flashing, tear-off, disposal, decking work, and warranty terms in the bid.

Does not make sense if:

• You are treating Cambridge as a three-tab product or using an obsolete IKO product list.
• The estimate says “per square” without stating whether it means field shingles or complete installation.
• You are paying extra for Class 3 or Class 4 shingles because you assume the rating guarantees hail-damage reimbursement.
• A low field-shingle price hides unusually high accessory, tear-off, or labor charges elsewhere in the quote.

What We Verified

• Checked: current public seller examples show Cambridge at $56/bundle and Dynasty at $61.64/bundle.
• Confirmed: Cambridge, Dynasty, and Nordic each cover about 33.3 square feet per bundle and use approximately three bundles per roofing square.
• Cross-referenced: Crowne Slate uses about four bundles per square and Armourshake about five, so premium bundle prices need a coverage adjustment.
• Verified: Cambridge and Dynasty currently carry Class 3 impact ratings, while Nordic and Crowne Slate carry Class 4 ratings.
• Checked: Marathon Plus AR, not Cambridge, is IKO’s current traditional three-tab shingle and carries a 25-year limited warranty.

Answers to Common Questions

How much are IKO Cambridge shingles?

A current public seller lists Cambridge at $56 per 33.3-square-foot bundle. With three bundles per roofing square, that is about $168 per square for field shingles before waste and accessories.

How much are IKO Dynasty shingles?

The same current seller lists Dynasty at $61.64 per 33.3-square-foot bundle. Three bundles total $184.92 per roofing square before waste and accessory products.

How many bundles of IKO shingles make one square?

Cambridge, Dynasty, and Nordic use about 3 bundles per square. Crowne Slate uses about 4, Armourshake about 5, and Marathon Plus AR requires roughly 3 bundles plus 2 shingles. Always use the coverage for the exact SKU being purchased.

Is IKO Cambridge a three-tab shingle?

No. Cambridge is an architectural laminated shingle. Marathon Plus AR is IKO’s current traditional three-tab line.

Is Nordic better than Dynasty for hail?

Nordic carries a Class 4 impact rating while Dynasty carries Class 3. That higher laboratory classification does not mean Nordic is hail-proof, and IKO states that hail damage is not covered merely because a product has an impact rating.

How much would IKO shingles cost for a 2,000-square-foot roof?

Using a 10% planning allowance, the Cambridge example comes to about $3,696 for field shingles, while Dynasty comes to about $4,068.24. A complete installed roof can cost far more after accessories, tear-off, disposal, repairs, and labor.
