Wood Roofing:







NATURAL AND DURABLE

The world's most enduring roofing material was made by nature. Cedar. For years manufacturers have tried to duplicate the natural beauty and durability of cedar shakes and shingles. While imitation is flattering, it does not approach the integrity of the original. Cedar is prized for its natural beauty and durability in tough climate conditions.



TOUGH AND INSULATIVE

  •   Cedar shakes and shingles withstand winds exceeding 120 mph and 130 mph,       respectively.
  •   Cedar, with Class 3 hail resistance, stands up tough against hail storms.
  •   Cedar's unique cellular structure makes it an excellent insulator, keeping your home       cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
  •   Cedar withstands the extreme temperatures and freeze-thaw conditions found across
          North America.
  •   Cedar is lightweight and earthquake safe. At only around 2-1/2 pounds per square foot,
          cedar shakes and shingles are about the lightest and toughest roofing materials       available.




    • BEAUTIFUL AND VERSATILE

    The natural beauty and architectural versatility of cedar shakes and shingles have made this material a choice among the world's greatest architects. Wood shakes and shingles have been used in historical architecture around the country; from the shingle style estates of the Northeast, ranch houses in the Midwest, bungalow styles of California and the rustic contemporary homes of the Northwest.



                         

    Modern technology now combines the appeal and durability of genuine cedar,
    plus the safety standards required in fire hazard areas.

    Cedar Plus provides enduring fire protection with a state-of-the-art treating process. Cedar Plus' high-quality cedar shakes and shingles are placed in pressure-treatment cylinders where fire retardants are injected into the inner cells of the wood. The material then goes through a polymerization process and the fire retardants are locked into the wood fiber. After 10 years of outdoor weathering and regular testing, the treatment has been deemed permanent.

    Cedar Plus shakes and shingles are tested and certified to Underwriters Laboratories' standard UL-790, Uniform Building Code standard 15-2 and National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA-256.



                         

    Western Red Cedar, a recognized durable wood species, is now made even more durable with modern treating technology. Now you have long term protection from weather and decay associated with high humidity regions, like the Southeastern United States. Cedar Plus CCA uses high quality shakes and shingles in a preservative treatment process. Bundles of shakes and shingles are placed in pressure-treatment cylinders where preservatives are set into the wood cells. The preservative treated wood then goes through a fixing process to ensure long-term protection from fungal decay.
