It is hard to argue with the natural beauty of cedar roofing and the way in which it ages into a beautiful silver tone.
Mint Roofing Ltd only installs Certi-Label® Green Products that are no.1 Grade are long-lasting, making them an ideal roofing material. Certi-Label® Green Products Cedar can outperform most asphalt roofs by 10 years or longer if properly installed and maintained. Certi-Label® Green Products Cedar are also very resistant to strong winds, heavy rains, hail, severe weather and are available in pre-treated options as well such as pressure treated or fire retardant.
Cedar roofs can also be extremely energy efficient, providing a natural insulation that can be up to two times that of asphalt shingles. This allows you save money on home heating and cooling costs, making cedar shingles a very sound investment.
The downside to cedar roofs are the installation cost and maintenance. Compared with other roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, cedar roofing shingles are more expensive to have installed due to labour associated and the stainless steel fasteners.
But when you consider that your home is perhaps the largest investment you will ever make, high quality, long-lasting roofing material that enhancing the beauty and value of your home is a wise investment.
In terms of maintenance, Cedar roofs need regular treatment with preservatives to prevent moss, mold and mildew growth. Pressure treated options can be added before installation to prevent this and preserve the wood longer.
