• Visual appeal: With its reddish hue and rustic appeal, cedar is desirable for its stunning natural beauty.
• Durability: Cedar’s natural oils make it highly durable and resistant to moisture, decay, insects and rot.
• Natural insulation: The unique properties of cedar wood act as a natural barrier against winter’s cold and summer’s heat.
• Longevity: Cedar shingles are a long-lasting material known to last as long as 30 years when properly maintained.
