Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A factory starter course is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve wind performance at the eave, where sealant strip placement matters most. Install Armour Starter per IKO's instructions with correct overhang past the drip edge, and pair it with IKO underlayment and field shingles for a complete system. Estimate by eave length, not roof area, since starter covers linear feet.
Follow IKO's installation instructions and local code for fastening; bundles are heavy, so lift with care and use roof fall protection.
Order IKO Armour Starter shingles in Greystone to secure your roof's critical lower edge.
