Why Choose Composite Cedar Shake?

Composite cedar shakes are designed to replicate the rich, textured look of traditional cedar without the downsides of natural wood. Made from high-performance synthetic materials, composite shakes are resistant to the elements and require far less upkeep over time.


Key benefits include:

  • Authentic wood appearance with deep grain textures and color variation
  • Resistant to rot, mold, insects, and moisture
  • No splitting, warping, or curling
  • Class A fire rating and Class 4 impact resistance
  • Lightweight design that often requires no structural reinforcement
  • Fade-resistant color blends for long-term curb appeal
  • Eco-friendly materials, often recyclable and sustainably sourced


Whether you’re replacing an aging cedar roof or upgrading from asphalt, composite shakes give you the look you love with the performance you need.

  • How long do composite cedar shakes last?

    Composite shakes typically last 40 to 50 years, depending on the product and environmental conditions. They’re engineered to withstand severe weather, making them a smart long-term investment.

  • Are composite shakes more expensive than natural cedar?

    Upfront, composite cedar shakes may cost more than natural wood, but they offer significant savings over time through lower maintenance costs, fewer repairs, and a longer lifespan.
