Do you live in a Homeowners Association or Property Owner Association that only allows cedar roofs? Are you considering bringing forward a better solution but aren’t sure the board will approve it?

Meet Enviroshake, the best cedar replacement material on the market!

Introducing a new material to an Architectural Review Board can often be met with hesitation, particularly when it involves deviating from longstanding covenants aimed at preserving the uniformity and tradition of the HOA. To alleviate any uncertainties, let’s address some common questions about Enviroshake.

What is the history of this product?

Synthetics were introduced into the roofing industry 25 years ago. Enviroshake has been in business since 1998, making us not only a leader, but a pioneer in the composite roofing industry.

What third party testing has been done?

Enviroshake has passed the High Velocity Hurricane Zone TAS 125 and resists wind speeds up to 180 MPH (290 km/h).

All Enviroshake products are available with an unconditional Class A fire rating (ASTM E108).

Enviroshake has been awarded a Class 4 Impact Rating (UL 2218)—the highest impact rating available.

How long do Enviroshake products last?

Accelerated weather testing indicates that Enviroshake products have a life expectancy that is considerably longer than the 50-year lifetime transferable warranty that is offered.

Enviroshake roofs have been installed for more than a quarter decade and are performing as expected.

Compared to new growth cedar’s typical lifespan of 10 to 20 years, you can rest assured your Enviroshake roof will outperform a cedar shake roof.

What is Enviroshake made from? Are the Contents Recycled or Virgin?

Enviroshake is made from 95% post-industrial recycled plastics, fibers, and elastomers. Our products are scientifically formulated to provide outstanding performance that outlasts natural cedar. Recycled and virgin polymers must pass the same mechanical tests to confirm their impact strength and stability. As long as the product passes the tests, it is irrelevant if they were made from virgin or recycled materials. We can guarantee that Recycled Doesn’t Mean Unknown when it comes to the contents of Enviroshake.

How do Enviroshake’s Aesthetics Compare to Natural Cedar?

Enviroshake is designed to be the most authentic-looking shake product on the market. Our dies are made using 3D images of medium taper sawn cedar shakes for a truly natural appearance. As an engineered product, Enviroshake’s aesthetics are consistent, unlike cedar shakes, which will naturally have variation between them. In fact, Enviroshake will look more natural than a new cedar roof after installation.

Our tiles are designed to have a weathering period in the first year of installation to reveal a beautiful weathered matte cedar look, and after this initial period, the tiles will maintain their classic aesthetic and rich color over the lifetime of your roof.

How Does it Perform in the Real World?

Rest assured you are in good company when you choose Enviroshake.

“Your product IS amazing. We had our roof redone in late 2005. We had a very old cedar shake roof and I researched the internet and found Enviroshake. The installer didn’t know anything about this product, but I definitely wanted something fire safe on the roof after the near forest -fire just a year ago. The crew started working on the roof and work was progressing well, when on the third day I happened to come home from work for lunch. As I walked across the deck I remember thinking to myself......”hmm, you would think they would have gotten something done by now”......I eat my lunch and as I walked out the front door I realized that the entire front deck across which I had traveled to reach my front door had been redone in the ENVIROSHAKE material and I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE.......wow, this stuff is amazing.” - Ani McDowell, Creston, BC, Canada

“After a big hailstorm that hit our community, I’m happy to say that our Enviroshake roofs performed as guaranteed – no damage to any of our roofs! But all around us people are having to get new roofs. So all the homeowners in our complex are very pleased. Thanks again for the excellent product!” – Susan Cook
