Natural
and Durable-
The world's
most enduring roofing material was made by nature. Cedar.
For years manufactures 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.

and Insulative-
For
hundreds of years cedar has protected home from harsh conditions.
-
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.

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
great 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.
