| We
had Cedar shakes on my family's roof up north for 70 years.
We never had a problem. Why are there not more Cedar Shakes
roofs in South Florida?
In South Florida
where high humidity is a factor, Cedar Shakes must be impregnated
with a preservative to be protected them from mildew and fungal decay.
Fire Retardant
also must be applied to give the shakes a UL listing for
fire resistance.
South Florida is
in a high wind area per the Florida Building Code. Uplift is
a concern for hurricane prone areas.
All of these
factors must be considered before purchasing a new cedar
shake roof. If you have a Chateau or "A" Frame
home, then nothing can match the look of a cedar shake
roof.

As a cedar shake roof ages,
the cedar shakes dry out, shrink, curl up and become susceptible
to Mildew and fungus decay. An untreated cedar shake
roof has a serviceable life of approx. 15 years in South
Florida. |

Tung
Oil |
Older Cedar Shake roofs
can be "brought back to life", that
is, the serviceable life of a cedar shake roof
in South Florida can be extended with proper
preventative maintenance.
Application of our special Tung Oil Blend after treating and cleaning a
cedar roof to remove fungus and mildew is the ideal protectorant for the
roof of your home.
Our Tung Oil blend will not chip or peel like conventional
clear finishes because it becomes part of the wood, sealing the moisture out and the beauty and protection in.
It is fortified with Ultraviolet Protection and water repellents to minimize the deteriorating effects of harsh direct sunlight, moisture penetration, warping, swelling and shrinking of the wood surface.
