Cedar Shakes
Cedar is the most durable roofing material available.When it comes to protecting your home, no other roofing material outperforms Western Red Cedar shakes. Mother Nature created cedar with special protective qualities, making it the smart choice among all the roofing materials available today. A wood roof keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. As an insulator, nothing even comes close to the efficiency of cedar shakes. They have more than twice the insulating value of asphalt shingles, four times that of fiber-cement composites, and five times that of slate. In terms of strength, once again, cedar is the clear choice. Most other materials, such as tile and cement composites, simply add weight to a roof. But cedar actually improves the structural stability of your home, while weighing as much as 75% less than the competition--something you'll definitely want in earthquake danger areas or high winds. And in wind tunnel testing, cedar roofing has endured winds in excess of 130 miles per hour. Due to the natural recovery of wood fibers, cedar provides superior protection against hail, as well as thermal shock associated with freeze-thaw conditions. In short, cedar shakes provide protection that lasts, even in the most extreme climates.
