The Advantages of Using Cedar Roofing
Cedar shingles offer a smooth, classic look, while cedar shakes add a more rugged, rustic appeal. Cedar pieces are also available in different tones, including amber, red, gold, and brown. However you want it, cedar roofing is perfect for adding a unique, natural beauty to your home whether it’s a modern style home, a country cottage, or even a beach house.
Cedar roofing may be particularly known for its unique, natural looks. However, beyond the element of beauty it adds, it also has practical advantages.
Cedar roofing is weather resistant and thermal resistant. It can help you save money and energy because it minimizes the necessity for heating and cooling
With proper maintenance, cedar roofs can last over 25 years. And when the time comes that replacement is necessary, it is possible to only replace the specific shingles that have warped, worn, or cracked, making it not only eco-friendly, but also a wallet-friendly option in the long run. Discarded cedar roofing also has a minimal impact on the environment, as many trees being harvested are replaced by three.
