DAVINCI ROOFSCAPES

Natural wood shakes were once a staple in U.S residential roofing. They were known for being highly resistant to weather, providing great insulation and overall hefty durability. Unfortunately, the resilience that was once natural wood shakes have disappeared substantially. The supply of natural cedar has decreased, leaving behind premature cedar that isn’t ready to provide proper protection. Old-grown trees that used to supply the country with durable material are long gone.

Above all else, there is a lot to think of when considering adding natural wood shakes to your home. Do not expect your roof to have a long life span with wooden shakes. Wood shake roofing tends to last between 15-30 years, a joke when compared to other materials. They are vulnerable to pests and mold, further decreasing the lifespan of the material. Discoloration is a given, so you will have to prepare for heavy maintenance throughout the years.

The biggest issue homeowners have with wood shakes is that they are prone to fire. When compared side by side to other roofing materials like DaVinci Composite Shake, the natural wood caught on fire immediately and spread in less than 5 minutes. DaVinci’s Composite Shake actually reduced the fire and stopped it on its own completely.

Synthetic Shake Roofing Tiles from DaVinci Roofscapes are made of virgin polymer and have built-in UV inhibitors that ensure your roof maintains its color for years to come. These polymer shakes outperform natural wood shakes and look just like natural wood tiles. They come in a variety of colors, textures, and widths to give your home that unique look it deserves.

It’s time to move on from outdated expectations from wooden shakes. DaVinci’s Synthetic Shake Roofing Tiles have a Class A fire rating, making them highly resistant to heat and fire. Our synthetic shakes are also highly energy efficient. The polymer tiles help reflect the sun’s rays, reducing the temperature on your property during the warmer months.

DaVinci Shakes are expected to last up to 50 years and come with a lifetime limited warranty. DaVinci also offers “Solarhide,” a one-step radiant barrier that goes under your tiles and serves as a vapor barrier. Used in conjunction with DaVinci’s synthetic tiles, “Solarhide” reduces the chances of fire damage to your roof hence its Class A fire rating.
