IKO, a global leader in the roofing, waterproofing, and insulation industries for residential and commercial markets, is excited to introduce Matte Black, a timeless, deep black color, to their performance shingle line – Dynasty. The elegant Matte Black, part of IKO’s investigation of a new monochromatic color palette, is intended to match a variety of popular exterior options, including gray stone, brown brick, and white siding. Its elegant, low-contrast color makes it an excellent choice for homeowners wishing to improve their home’s curb appeal with an adaptable and timeless design.
“While IKO already offers several distinctive black shades, Matte Black brings a refined, depthless tone that expands our monochromatic palette for a sophisticated, classic look,” said Jeff Williams, vice president of marketing and branding at IKO North America. “IKO is proud to have pioneered the Performance Shingle category, and this addition is a testament to our commitment to innovating with products that enhance both the aesthetics and durability of homes in a way that resonates with modern design preferences.”
The Matte Black shingle color will be manufactured in all IKO shingle mills and distributed throughout the United States and Canada. This sleek color complements IKO’s existing collection of eye-catching, high-definition color mixes, which includes Granite Black, Shadow Brown, Glacier, Driftshake, Frostone Grey, Cornerstone/Weatherwood, Brownstone, Biscayne, Atlantic Blue, Monaco Red, Emerald Green, and Summit Grey.
IKO Dynasty premium laminated performance shingles provide peace of mind and protection from harsh weather. These shingles are built with a strong, thick covering of weathering asphalt and have a Class 3 impact resistance rating*, which may help homeowners qualify for lower residential insurance premiums if available in their area. The shingles, which feature ArmourZone technology, are meant to endure severe winds and come with a limited wind resistance warranty of up to 130 mph (210 km/h). The tear-resistant tape backing prevents nail pull-through and blow-off, and the 1 ¼-inch nailing surface provides precise and efficient installation. Sunlight activates IKO FastLock sealant, which forms a strong bond against water damage. Furthermore, the shingles prevent blue-green algae growth, retaining the color’s appearance and demonstrating IKO’s dedication to both longevity and aesthetics.
Dynasty Matte Black will be available to contractors and shipped to market in early 2025, adding to IKO’s comprehensive portfolio of high-performance roofing solutions intended for the diverse styles and needs of modern architecture.

*The Impact Resistance rating is exclusively intended to allow residential property owners to receive a decrease in their home insurance rate, if possible. It is not intended to be understood as an express or implied warranty or guarantee of the shingle’s impact performance against hail by the manufacturer, supplier, or installer, and hail damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
