CeDUR Live Oak Synthetic Roofing Products

CeDUR Live Oak is reminiscent of a brand new traditional heavy hand split natural cedar shake. Live Oak roofs compliment darker tones very well, including tan, brown, dark gray and brick. Live Oak perfectly captures the look of traditional hand split natural cedar wood shakes. Caramel brown is an accurate color description of this beautiful synthetic cedar wood shake. Live Oak roofs compliment natural surroundings and mountain homes and provide warm wood tones.

A CeDUR synthetic roof combines the desirable cedar shake look with the latest in design and technology. All CeDUR synthetic shakes are solid throughout with no cavity back and molded from natural cedar shakes. CeDUR synthetic shakes are manufactured in three multi-width sizes, 5 1/4” shakes, 7 1/4” shakes, and 12 1/4” shakes. CeDUR synthetic shakes will, by design, shift color upon exposure to the Sun. This color change takes place gradually over the first 90 days of installation (depending on time and intensity of Sun exposure) and then stabilizes at a weathered wood color for the life of the product. Our synthetic roofing products do not incorporate UV inhibitors or UV stabilizers and your roof will age naturally with the Sun. Natural movement is designed into our product to give your roof the most authentic wood shake appearance.

Straight Course CeDUR Live Oak Installation

A straight course CeDUR roof installation offers a more uniform wood appearance. This is when CeDUR shake courses are aligned straight across the roof horizontally. A 10 inch (254 mm) weather exposure for straight course installations is standard with 3/8” inch keyways. Pictured is a CeDUR Live Oak roof installed by Premo Roofing in California.

Staggered Course CeDUR Live Oak Installation

A staggered course installation provides a more natural and rustic wood shake look. When 1-inch staggered installation is used, shake exposure is laid at 9 inch (229 mm) exposure and random shakes are at 10 inch (254 mm) exposure. More CeDUR material is needed for a staggered installation. The maximum recommended stagger is 2 inches with 3/8” inch keyways.

CeDUR Synthetic Roofing Products and Sizing:

Please note: Chalk lines should be snapped on the underlayment with the tips of the shakes following the lines. Do not snap lines on the CeDUR shakes or use red chalk as the chalk may permanently discolor the shakes. Material pallets should not be stacked more than two pallets high. During roof installation, please ensure proper keyway spacing between shakes and proper course alignment. Keyways should not line up vertically from course to course. More information is below.
