CeDUR Residential Roofing 

1. Authentic Wood Look

CeDUR synthetic shakes are crafted to replicate the look and texture of natural cedar shakes, offering deep grain patterns and rich shadow lines. The product is available in four timeless colors: Live Oak, Walden, Shiloh, and Golden Cedar. These colors are designed to weather naturally over time, achieving a stable, authentic wood appearance that enhances the curb appeal and value of homes. 

2. Durability and Performance

CeDUR synthetic roofing shakes are known for their exceptional durability. They are made from a proprietary polyurethane material that provides a Class 4 impact rating (the highest available) and a Stand Alone Class A fire rating. This means they can withstand severe weather conditions, including hail and wildfire exposures, without requiring additional fire-resistant underlayment’s. 

3. Low Maintenance

Unlike natural wood shakes, CeDUR synthetic shakes require virtually no maintenance. They are resistant to splitting, rotting, mold, and mildew. This reduces the long-term costs and efforts associated with maintaining traditional wood roofing. 

4. Lightweight and Easy Installation

Weighing only 170 pounds per square, CeDUR synthetic shakes are lighter than many traditional roofing materials, including asphalt shingles. This lightweight nature simplifies handling and installation for roofing contractors. CeDUR shakes can be installed using standard roofing tools and techniques, similar to natural cedar shakes, without the need for special hardware or accessories. 

5. Energy Efficiency

CeDUR roofs provide excellent insulation with an R-value greater than 2.0, which helps maintain indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. The closed-cell structure of the shingles also prevents water absorption, enhancing the roof’s overall thermal performance. 

6. Environmental Benefits

CeDUR synthetic shakes are an eco-friendly roofing option. They are designed to last much longer than traditional roofing materials, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, their high-performance features can lead to savings on homeowners’ insurance policies through impact resistance and fire safety credits.
