Cedar Roofing
About Cedar Roofing
Classic Elegance
Cedar shakes & shingles bear a distinctive style, warmth, and elegance that other materials can only imitate. Because of the individuality of natural shakes and shingles, every cedar roof bears a character that is unique from all others. When you choose a cedar roof, you’re choosing a luxury item, not just a roofing material.
Enduring Shelter
What better way to resist the elements than to use nature itself? Western Red Cedar roofing is tough and can withstand high winds (up to 245 mph), decay, pounding hailstorms, and even earthquakes.
Energy-Smart
Cedar's natural insulative R-value stands is stark contrast to conventional asphalt shingles. Tests show that wood roofs can keep your attic 28° Fahrenheit cooler in severe summer heat. That equates to savings of over 20% on your cooling system!
| Roof Structure | Attic Ventilation | Average Attic Temperature | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Cedar Shingles on ½" plywood | Without | 103° F | 101° F |
| With | 99° F | ||
| Asphalt shingles on ½" plywood | Without | 132° F | 128.5° F |
| With | 125° F | ||
Renewable
The forest industry replaces what it removes; the same cannot be said of the iron ore, petroleum, bauxite or limestone used to create other building products. Wood is biodegradable, unlike the substitute products that can linger in landfills for decades, if not longer.
