Features & Benefitsof Cedar Shake Roofing
- Insulation: According to the USDA Forest Service, wood roofing and siding have the highest insulation value of any of the wood substitutes. Wood has 413 times the thermal resistance (R-value) of steel, 2,000 times that of aluminum, and 8 times that of concrete. Consequently, wood roofing and siding help reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool our homes and offices.
- Durability: Cedar is a naturally rot-resistant wood, which means that cedar shake shingles can last for many years without rotting or deteriorating. The tight grain and flex of hand-split cedar shingles are highly resistant to hail damage and are rated to withstand wind shearing of 130 MPH-plus.
- Aesthetics: Cedar shake shingles have a natural, rustic look that can add character and charm to a home.
- Environmentally friendly: Cedar is a renewable resource, and cedar shake shingles can be made from sustainably-harvested wood.
- Low maintenance: Cedar shake shingles require little maintenance and can last for many years.
- Natural pest resistance: Cedar wood is naturally resistant to insects, which can help reduce the need for chemical treatments.
