i have just seen a job that i finished about three months ago, right up close. when the client wasn’t looking, i got a ladder and had a close look at the roof shingles. they had not stuck down, or should i say that they were tacked to each other, but a child of two could have broken the bond. when i put them on, it was about 70 degrees out. what could be the problem?
was it me or the iko shingles?
irish boy lost in a world of unsticky shingles!

Eddie, give it the summer before you begin to get concerned. If it is still that way by next november, then it is possible the climate is just too cool there for the 'sticky' to work well, or else the sticky was of a substandard quality.
I'd venture a guess it'll be just fine by the end of summer.
*Never heard much good about IKO shingles. Never used them, and that was on purpose. You get what you pay for , especially shingles
*I put IKO brand on the last roof during warm spell (~50*) in March--no problems with them adhering.
*I have 25 year IKO's on my house and shop and they're fine. Here in the Pacific Northwest we rarely get over 80 degrees and get plenty of wind. I think a lot of "what you pay for" is advertising.
*Ditto what Euge1122 said. (How do you pronounce that, anyway?) Never heard anything good about them. The yards around here all quit carrying them because of complaints.
*we use almost 100% Certainteed... but if i wanted an organic felt.. i'd probably use IKO..good shingle.. often confused with Elk, which i don't like.. just personal
*as usual mike, we have the choice of two shingle maufacturers in ireland, the 'best' is Iko.ah well!i think i'll put a slate on the roof, this will negate the need to worry about shingles sticking, and ease my worries of venting.thanks for the post's guy's
