Wood roofing is available in varying styles, including shingles and shakes.
Shingles are machine-cut, and the edges tapered for that crispy texture.
However, shakes are hand-cut, and the appeal is rusty. 


Cedar Shingles are:

Warm and natural

Durable

Energy efficient

Luxury grade hence high maintenance

If you want a sophisticated roofing system, then cedar shingles are the way to go. However, you must be willing to dig deeper into your pockets with this luxury. Cedarwood is a top-grade roofing material that is highly durable and offers a higher return on investment. With proper maintenance, cedar roof shingles can last 50 plus years.

Note that cedar shingles come in different grades depending on the quality and thickness. Shingles cut from the tree center are stronger, higher quality and expensive. Thick cedar shingles have more longevity and strength. Since cedar is a natural and renewable material, it is biodegradable and sustainable to the environment.

Cedar shingles have a lower weight in comparison to slate or clay tiles. Although lightweight, the cedar shingles offer adequate moisture protection and roofing strength. We install cedar shingles on the standard roofing frame without an additional supporting structure.

Cedar shingles are ideal for enhancing housing aesthetics as they create that natural appeal for a silver-greying beauty. If you live in high-wind areas, then a cedar roofing system will come in handy. It will provide the necessary resistance even in tough weather conditions.  
We use cedar shingles treated with a fire retardant to reduce the fire risk associated with cedar roofs.

This treatment guarantees roof longevity and reduces the maintenance required.

Cedar roofing shingles are energy efficient and offer more natural insulation than the asphalt type. Proper attic insulation will ensure adequate air circulation for quality breathing air and comfortable surroundings. This energy efficiency also saves your utility cost by reducing the heating and cooling needs.

Despite the popularity of cedar shingles, this roofing option needs regular maintenance for longevity.

For less maintenance, you can go for synthetic shingles that are also durable, weather, and fire-resistant. However, you will be missing the natural appeal of cedar shingles.
