A wood shake roof has a unique appeal, making it a popular choice for Pennsylvania homeowners despite modern alternatives like slate and metal. High-end homes often prefer its rustic look to complement country-style architecture.
PA homeowners can trust the WG Siding & Roofing experts to help them choose the right roof material for their home, including wood options.
Wood Shake Roofing by WG Siding & Roofing Inc.
When selecting wood roofing, you have two primary options: shakes or shingles. Shingles are generally machine-sawn, featuring cuts that may follow or go against the grain. In contrast, shakes are hand-split, guaranteeing that one side always follows the grain and gives them superior wind and water resistance.
We offer expert installation of wood shakes and shingles, ensuring top-quality roofing solutions for homes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Advantages and Benefits of Wood Shakes
- Excellent Insulation: Wood, a poor heat conductor, is an excellent insulator, making your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
- Wind Resistance: They’re resistant to wind damage, ensuring better durability.
- Enhanced Stability: Properly installed, they can improve the stability of the roof deck.
- Rustic Appearance: They add character and attract attention with their rustic look.
- Thick Padding: Each shake can be up to one inch thick, providing extra padding for your roof or siding.
Which Is Best for My Home?
Choosing between wood shakes and shingles depends on your home’s architecture. Shakes are ideal for traditional and ranch-style homes, blending seamlessly with natural surroundings. Shingles, conversely, complement cabins, cottages, and small residential homes. Durability is another factor, with teak lasting up to 80 years and cedar offering a lifespan of up to 50 years with proper care.
