Toronto, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IKO has launched Blackstone, a new color in its performance shingle range within the IKO Dynasty® collection, available throughout the U.S. and Canada.
“Blackstone represents our most refined black offering to date — contrast that catches the eye without overpowering the home. It’s the choice for homeowners who want their roof to make a statement in the most elegant way possible,” said Vince Carrier, Residential Product Development Manager at IKO North America.
As a rich black shingle, Blackstone pairs naturally with virtually any exterior palette. It offers striking contrast against crisp whites and light greys, blends seamlessly with deep charcoals and navy siding and adds quiet drama to warm tones like greige, taupe and cedar.
IKO has also released a dynamic video showcasing the color in real-world applications.
At the core of IKO Dynasty shingles is Proven Performance.
- Class 3 impact rating* (for both UL and FM standards), which may help homeowners qualify for reduced insurance premiums where available
- ArmourZone® technology, featuring a 1 ¼-inch nailing surface for enhanced fastening strength and a limited wind resistance warranty for up to 130 mph (210 km/h)
- Tear-resistant tape backing designed to help prevent nail pull-through and blow-off and FastLock® sealant that activates under sunlight to form a strong bond against water infiltration
