Used on commercial and residential properties all around the world, this kind of roofing is available in shake, shingle, and hip and ridge unit formats. Below are 6 reasons to think about cedar for your following roofing project:
Dimensional stability
Capable of maintaining its original dimensions within humid conditions, cedar wood includes a low density material which provides minimal shrinkage. As it lies flat, remains straight, and tightly holds fastenings, it’ll make for lasting installations.
Resistance to elements
Cedar roofing, with natural preservatives which make it resistant to UV rays, moisture, and insect damage, also is resistant to wind.
Workability
Cedar wood produces lightweight, long lengths of timber with straight, fine graining patterns, and uniform texture. Those characteristics will make it easy to nail, saw, and cut.
Strength
Cedar, regarded as one of the globe’s toughest woods, includes a naturally durable material for roofing. A wise investment for your house, it also will enhance the roof’s structural strength.
Insulating
Cedar includes a natural insulator, permitting cooler temperatures inside within the summertime and warmth within the wintertime.
Architecturally enhancing appearance
As cedar shingles provide a tailored, smooth appearance, cedar shakes will present a more rough-hewn, rustic look. Cedar, as far as long-term beauty is concerned, ages to a distinguished-appearing silvery gray over a period of time.
