CeDur Synthetic Roofing Products

The Most Realistic Synthetic Roofing Shake

CeDUR Synthetic Roofing Products are the most realistic synthetic roofing shakes ever made. A CeDUR synthetic roof combines the desirable cedar shake look with the latest in design and technology. Our polyurethane based synthetic roofing products perfectly replicate the wood look of heavy hand split natural cedar shakes. CeDUR synthetic shakes are fire-resistant, light weight, durable, and provide property owners with peace of mind and long-term value. A CeDUR synthetic roof gives any home classic wood beauty without the constant maintenance and headaches inherent in real wood shakes or alternative roofing materials.

Authentic Wood Look. Extreme Fire Resistance. Lasting Performance.

For years the roofing industry has been trying to create synthetic composite roofing materials that have the authentic natural wood appearance and are low maintenance, fire rated, impact resistant, and long lasting. Until now, no replacement roofing products have been able to match the authentic wood appearance of hand split natural cedar shakes. Other roofing products simply do not have the depth, texture, dimension, and color variations of a natural cedar shake roof. Even other synthetic roofing products composed primarily of polyethylene can provide an unnatural and shiny appearance. The proprietary polyurethane technology that CeDUR developed provides homeowners and industry professionals with the most natural wood shake looking synthetic roofing product available.

Our state-of-the-art polyurethane manufacturing process allows us to mold each individual CeDUR shake from hand split natural cedar wood shakes. This gives CeDUR unquestionable wood shake beauty while enhancing your home’s curb appeal and property value. CeDUR Synthetic Shakes are light weight (just 170 pounds per square), feature a 3/4” inch butt end, and perfectly replicate the appearance of heavy hand split natural cedar shakes. A CeDUR synthetic roof provides authentic wood depth, dimension, thickness, and texture while meeting and exceeding the roofing industries most stringent testing standards.

Wood Shakes vs CeDUR

Wood shake roofs are known to retain moisture. Mold and mildew grow best in moist environments and a wood shake roof requires routine maintenance to avoid mold and mildew build up. Once mold or mildew set in and additional moisture is retained, water damage, rot, and roof leaking can potentially occur. CeDUR synthetic roofing products feature a solid core with no cavity back. This allows for easy installation on a roof’s valleys, eaves, gable, rake, and hips because the CeDUR product can be easily cut and scored using a utility knife or skill saw to fit into tight and unique spaces on your roof without sacrificing appearance. CeDUR synthetic shakes are resistant to rot, moss, water absorption and insects. The polyurethane product composition of CeDUR provides installers with stability and uniformity at cuts and is resistant to water absorption.Wood shakes are naturally flammable and untreated wood shakes can be ignited by firebrands, exposure to fire, or traveling embers from a nearby fire. CeDUR synthetic shakes are fire-resistant and stand-alone Class A Fire Rated - ASTM E108.

Wood roofs provide thermal insulation properties. CeDUR roofs also provide insulation benefits and are rated at an insulation value of R > 2.0 R factor (approximately 20% greater than heavy wood shakes).If energy efficiency is important for you and your home environment, then CeDUR shakes are worth a look. The insulation properties of a CeDUR roof can help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
