Golden Cedar | Cool Roof Rated Product and Title 24 Compliant

CeDUR Golden Cedar roofing products replicate the authentic wood look of heavy hand split natural cedar shakes. Golden Cedar is similar in color to Live Oak but is Title 24 Compliant and Cool Roof Rated for Los Angeles County residents and Southern California residents. A CeDUR Golden Cedar roof makes it possible to keep the intended architectural wood shake look of historic structures while meeting modern day performance requirements. Golden Cedar products feature Class A fire resistance, Class 4 impact resistance and certified wind resistance up to 115 miles per hour.

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. 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.

Golden Cedar shakes are light weight at just 170 pounds per roofing square, and Golden Cedar 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.

Golden Cedar shakes are molded from natural cedar shakes and replicate the rustic wood appearance of heavy hand split natural cedar shakes. Just like hand split natural cedar shakes, Golden Cedar 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.

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 roof’s 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.
