The original roof on Jack Hanna’s Montana log cabin home had architectural asphalt shingles, which did not fit the look that Jack wanted.

3 Reasons Jack Hanna loves CeDUR

1. No Fire Concern

CeDUR shakes are fire resistant and self extinguish in the event of a fire. Jack loves the wood shake look but did not choose real wood because it is an extreme fire risk.

2. Beautiful Wood Look

CeDUR is the most realistic synthetic roofing shake ever made. There is no other roofing material that mimics the beautiful rustic wood look like CeDUR.

3. Durability

CeDUR is the most durable synthetic composite roofing material. A CeDUR roofing system is extremely durable and features Class 4 Impact Resistance and Stand Alone Class A Fire Rating. CeDUR is also extremely insulative and has an R Value in excess of 2.0.
