After asphalt shingle roofing, cedar roofing is the most common type of residential roofing material. They are at least twice the thickness of asphalt shingles. Although they are at a higher price point than asphalt shingles<\/a>, you can get wood shingles in a variety of species, including red cedar, yellow cedar, and white cedar. These roofs can be anywhere between 30 to 50 years, making it a great option for those seeking a durable roof.<\/p>\n

Their strength is derived from how thick they are, which depends on which part of the tree they were cut from. When shingles are cut from a stronger and thicker part of the tree, they will be more durable, as well as more expensive. Cedar shake and cedar shingle sound very similar, so let\u2019s talk about what makes them different![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=”Cedar Shake Roofing” use_icon=”on” icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”95%” module_class=”temp8_blurb” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_line_height=”1.3em” body_font=”Poppins||||||||” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Cedar shakes are hand-made, so they have a more rustic look than wood shingles. They add a distinctive look to your home and make an excellent impression! Each piece is individually made, so there will be more variance between each piece. It\u2019s vital for a professional roofer to install a cedar shake roof because different-sized pieces can leave your roof susceptible to gaps and leaks. Guardian Roofs has the knowledge and experience to install a cedar shake roof that is reliable and water-tight![\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Cedar Shingle Roofing ” use_icon=”on” icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”95%” module_class=”temp8_blurb” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_line_height=”1.3em” body_font=”Poppins||||||||” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Cedar cut shingles are cut by a machine and the pieces are more uniform than cedar shakes. This makes wood shingles less expensive than cedar shakes. They are lightweight, easy to maintain, and energy-efficient.

    \n
  • Natural:<\/strong> Cedar shingles and shakes are totally natural because they come from trees! They are 100% biodegradable and friendly to the earth. Stylistically, they look great on bungalows, Cape Cod, cottage, Craftsman, and Tudor-style homes.
    Energy Efficient Cedar roofing material is incredibly energy-efficient. It insulates your home while still allowing it to breathe, which saves on heating and cooling costs.<\/li>\n
  • Durable:<\/strong> Cedar roofing lasts up to 25 years, which is longer than a standard asphalt shingle roof.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n
    • Not for wet climates:<\/strong> If you live in an area with a wet climate, you may decide against cedar shakes or shingles. The constant moisture can cause a cedar roof to mold, split, or rot over time.<\/li>\n
    • Drying issues:<\/strong> Because they are natural wood, cedar shakes and shingles are prone to drying out more than other roofing materials. This makes them susceptible to fire. We recommend purchasing Class A fire-rated wood roofing products that include shingles treated with fire-resistant coating for maximum protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
