Aesthetics: Enviroshake products authentically emulate natural cedar

  • Enviroshingle^® is the only composite on the market to match the appeal of natural 5″ perfection cedar shingles
  • Enviroshake’s 8 profiles and Enviroshingle’s 2 profiles are all designed using 3D images of real cedar shakes and shingles, ensuring the wood grains, thickness, and sizes of the tiles are all true to nature
  • Enviroshake is pleased to offer several colour options that emulate a natural cedar roof in various stages of its life. All Enviroshake products will weather, and as with cedar shakes, there may be variations in the shading and thickness of the shakes to create a natural cedar look on the roof
