Modular Mountain Retreat Project

Environmentally Friendly Composite Shake Shingles Video

Bob meets with Brian Eberle from Enviroshake of Chatham, Ontario, to discuss the environmentally friendly shake shingles which are being used on a portion of the modular home’s roof. The mold, mildew, and insect resistant man-made shakes are constructed of used tires, post industrial plastics, flax and hemp fibers. The composite shakes contain additional materials that protect them from UV degradation and provide coloring to replicate the look of cedar shakes. The shake starts out almost blackish brown but quickly weathers to the look of silvered cedar and stays that color for the life of the roof. The roof is installed with standard roofing nails and follows all the techniques of installation for a standard cedar roof. Unlike cedar shakes they have 50-year warranty and testing has shown they should last much longer. This maintenance-free roofing product is priced similar to premium grades of standard roofing.
