Cedar Shakes

Energy saving

• Cedar shake roofing has exceptional thermal insulation, which can lower your heating costs.
• Cedar acts as a second layer of insulation. Most homes lose the most heat through the roof, so through Ontario's cold winters you'll enjoy the savings.
• It takes substantially less energy to manufacture a cedar roof than a petroleum-based composition shingle.

Strength and durability

• Cedar is one of the strongest woods, and the only roofing that actually adds strength to the structure.
• It stands up to a wide range of climates — from hailstorms to winter storms, cedar withstands the harsh Canadian elements.
• Cedar has natural preservatives that resist moisture and decay.

Appearance and value

• From the clean lines of a cedar shingle to the rustic charm of a cedar shake, cedar roofing is often imitated by man-made products.
• No mass-made product matches the prestige and performance of cedar shakes and shingles.
• When you choose a cedar roof, you are choosing a luxury item — not just a roofing material.
