CeDUR Synthetic Roofing for Homeowners

As a homeowner considering a new roof installation, roofing repair, or re-roof project, there are several factors to consider. You will want to consider a roofing material that is durable, long-lasting, and will perform in extreme weather while protecting you from nature’s harsh elements. For example, if you live in a hail prone environment or wildfire prone area, you should consider a synthetic roofing product like CeDUR that is impact resistant and fire-resistant. If you are a homeowner in a covenant controller community or homeowners association, we can provide you with the proper information that your HOA or design review board may need.

CeDUR Synthetic Roofing Product Benefits

CeDUR Synthetic Roofing Products are molded from natural cedar shakes and emulate the beautiful rustic wood appearance of heavy hand split natural cedar shakes. Just like hand split natural cedar shakes, CeDUR synthetic roofing shakes feature a thick 3/4" inch butt end.
CeDUR Synthetic Roofing Products are manufactured in 50+ unique molds to create the most beautiful natural wood shake appearance. Our molds are randomized daily so every bundle of material is truly unique. This creates a unique variation of shakes in each packaged bundle. Natural movement is designed into our product to give your roof the most authentic wood shake appearance. This provides stunning curb appeal and deep beautiful shadow lines which makes CeDUR indistinguishable from natural cedar wood shakes.
CeDUR is one of the most light weight roofing products available for purchase. CeDUR is just 170 pounds per square (1 square = 100 square feet on roof). This makes our synthetic roofing products easy for roofing contractors to handle and install. Our synthetic cedar shake roof products do not require a special batten system during installation or the need for costly structural weight modifications or special reinforcement to the roof structure. CeDUR installs direct to the roof deck and no special tools or hardware are required during installation. Our light weight synthetic cedar shakes can be installed in any climate or environment and can help improve the curb appeal and property value of your home.
CeDUR synthetic roofing products replicate the authentic wood look of heavy hand split natural cedar shakes. Alternative roofing products and other synthetic roofing products attempt to replicate the wood shake look, but other roofing products can have an un-natural shiny plastic look and plastic sheen appearance in direct sunlight. CeDUR shakes are designed and engineered to reproduce the rustic natural wood look with the latest in design and technology.
Wood is a timeless look that pairs with most home styles and color schemes. Whether you have a coastal, modern, traditional, cottage, southwestern, colonial, Victorian or contemporary style home, you can trust that CeDUR shakes will complement the architectural integrity and style of your home.
A CeDUR synthetic roof makes it possible to keep the intended architectural wood shake look of historic structures while meeting modern day performance requirements. CeDUR roofs provide extreme fire resistance and durability. CeDUR products feature Class A fire resistance, Class 4 impact resistance and certified wind resistance up to 115 miles per hour. CeDUR synthetic shakes are light weight at just 170 pounds per roofing square, and CeDUR is trusted by historians, preservationists, and historical preservation societies across the United States. As a pioneer of polyurethane roofing materials since 1998, CeDUR has been a reliable roofing material for government projects, religious facilities, and educational buildings.
Natural cedar shake shingles come in one of two color varieties, red cedar and white cedar. At CeDUR, we do not manufacture unrealistic color options or a variety of color choices and custom color options. Instead, we manufacture 4 color options in 3 widths that replicate the authentic wood look of natural cedar shakes that you have grown so accustomed to loving.
Our state-of-the-art polyurethane manufacturing process allows us to create incredibly authentic and realistic color options with unique grain patterns and genuine wood tones, textures, depth, and hues. CeDUR is engineered to replicate the authentic beauty of natural cedar shakes and complement the architectural integrity of your home.
A CeDUR synthetic roof installs like natural hand split heavy cedar shakes. CeDUR features just three product pieces: 1) CeDUR starter 2) CeDUR field material and 3) CeDUR hip/ridge material. There is no need for special accessories or special tools during the CeDUR roof installation. This allows for easy installation on a roofs valleys, eaves, gable, rake, and hips because the CeDUR product can be easily cut and scored using a utility knife or skill saw to fit into tight and unique spaces on your roof without sacrificing appearance.
CeDUR synthetic shakes can be installed in straight courses or staggered courses. A straight course installation offers a more uniform wood shake appearance while a staggered course installation provides a very natural and rustic wood look.

“Maintaining the traditional English look of our home was important to us but we had to find a roof material that would equally enhance the smaller dwelling we added adjacent to our house. Other synthetic products we looked at just didn’t look as real. We also had to consider our older home couldn’t accommodate a heavy tile, so finding a product as lightweight as CeDUR was the perfect solution for us.”
