Cedar's protective qualities makes it the best choice. 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.
|
In terms of strength, cedar is the clear choice. Cedar improves
the structural stability of your home, while weighing 75% less than
asphalt. In wind tunnel testing, cedar roofing has endured winds in
excess of 130 miles per hour. |
Due to the natural recovery of wood fibres, cedar provides
superior protection against hail, high winds, as well as thermal shock
associated with freeze-thaw conditions. In short, cedar shakes
provide protection that lasts, even in the most extreme climates. |
Cedar Breather® preserves the beauty and life of wood roofing.
As an underlayment for wood shingles and shakes. Cedar Breather
provides space for a continuous airflow between the solid
roof deck and the cedar shingles. This patented three-dimensional design
allows the entire underside of the shingle to dry, eliminating
excess moisture, preventing thermal cupping and warping, and
reducing potential rotting.
For quick and easy installation, Cedar Breather rolls out
over standard 30 lb. felt, installs without any special tools, and
eliminates the need for furring strips. Its fire-resistant nylon
matrix remains unaffected by UV light, heat or cold, for
long-lasting, durable cedar roof performance.
