What is Enviroshake?

Enviroshake is a composite roofing product made from a proprietary blend of recycled polymers and rubber. It is engineered to replicate the look and texture of natural cedar shake while offering superior performance and longevity. However, unlike traditional wood shake, Enviroshake does not split, curl, rot, or require ongoing chemical treatments.

Enviroshake vs Traditional Cedar Shake

Enviroshake outlasts, outperforms, and outclasses traditional cedar every time.

Cedar is a classic, aesthetic roofing choice, but it breaks down quickly in most damp or temperature-extreme climates and requires constant upkeep.

Resistant to fire, moss, insects, and moisture, Enviroshake® offers the same architectural appearance as cedar with far fewer long-term concerns, an approximately 5 times longer lifespan, and high performance in harsh coastal, mountain, and fire-prone climates.

Frequently Asked Questions About Enviroshake

Enviroshake roofs are designed to last 40–50+ years and are backed by a fully transferable limited lifetime warranty when properly installed.

Yes, Enviroshake was purposefully designed to look like real cedar. It is molded from actual taper-sawn cedar shakes and uses multi- width profiles to create natural variation, giving your roof a realistic, high-end cedar appearance.

Enviroshake is engineered to handle harsh climates and extreme conditions, including high winds, freeze–thaw cycles, heavy rain, UV exposure, and hail. It won’t crack, warp, peel, or chip like natural wood. Conversely, natural cedar requires significant maintenance and has a significantly shorter lifespan in harsh climates.

Yes, Enviroshake is extremely fire resistant. It is a Class A ASTM E108 fire-rated product, making it suitable for high-risk fire zones and often qualifying homeowners for insurance discounts. Class A is the highest level of fires resistance available for roofing materials and it means that Enviroshake can resist flame spread, prevents fire penetration into the roof structure and does not produce airborne embers.

Absolutely, Enviroshake was designed with weather resistance, including hail resistance in mind. It carries a Class 4 UL 2218 impact rating, which is the highest available rating, and provides excellent protection against hail and falling debris.

Enviroshake is tested to withstand winds up to 180 MPH and meets Miami-Dade wind uplift standards. For context, 180 MPH winds equate to a top-tier Category 5 hurricane or a high-end super typhoon.

One of the best benefits of Enviroshake is that it is virtually maintenance-free. Enviroshake resists mold, mildew, algae, insects, and moisture, and does not require treatments or preservatives.

Yes, Enviroshake is environmentally friendly. It is made from sustainable materials, is 100% recyclable, produces potable water runoff, and generates less waste during installation than natural cedar.

Yes, Enviroshake is durable enough to be walked on during installation or service without damaging the shingles.

Unlike natural cedar, Enviroshake will not change much in colour over its 40+ year lifespan. Enviroshake uses best-in-class UV inhibitor technology to help maintain color longevity and reduce fading. This colour consistency is one of the reasons that Enviroshake is offered in four colours, and has a custom colour option, so you can choose the exact shade you want your roof to be.

Many insurance providers offer reduced premiums when homeowners switch from cedar or slate to Enviroshake, especially in areas prone to wind, fire, or hail.

Enviroshake includes a fully transferable limited lifetime warranty. A Gold-Level Warranty is available when installed by a Factory Trained Contractor, like us, using Enviroshield® synthetic underlayment.
