Cedar Shake Roofing FAQs

Get answers to frequently asked questions about cedar shake roofing and find qualified cedar shake roofers in the UK.

How can I make my cedar shake roof more energy-efficient?

While cedar wood has natural insulating properties, you can enhance the energy efficiency of your cedar shake roof by:
  • Adding insulation: Increase the insulation in your attic to reduce heat transfer through the roof.
  • Proper ventilation: Ensure adequate attic ventilation to prevent heat build-up and allow for proper air circulation.
  • Reflective coatings: Consider applying a reflective coating to the underside of the cedar shakes to reflect radiant heat away from the house.
These measures can help regulate indoor temperatures and potentially lower your energy bills.

What is the difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles?

The main difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles lies in their manufacturing process and appearance:
  • Cedar shakes: Are hand-split or sawn, resulting in a thicker, more textured, and rustic appearance.
  • Cedar shingles: Are sawn on both sides, creating a thinner, smoother, and more uniform look.
Both cedar shakes and shingles are durable and attractive roofing options, but shakes are typically preferred for their unique and handcrafted aesthetic, while shingles offer a more refined and modern look.

How do I know if my cedar shake roof needs replacing?

Here are some signs that your cedar shake roof may need replacing:
  • Curling or cupping shakes: Cedar shakes naturally curl or cup over time, but excessive curling or cupping indicates weathering and reduced effectiveness.
  • Splitting or cracking shakes: Splits or cracks in the shakes can allow water penetration and lead to leaks.
  • Missing or broken shakes: Missing or broken shakes expose the underlayment and roof deck to the elements, increasing the risk of damage.
  • Moss or algae growth: Moss or algae on the roof can trap moisture and contribute to decay.
  • Leaks or water damage: Water stains on ceilings or walls indicate leaks, which may be caused by damaged or deteriorated cedar shakes.
  • Age: If your cedar shake roof is nearing or exceeding its expected lifespan, it's crucial to have it inspected by a qualified roofing contractor.
A professional inspection can help you determine whether repairs are sufficient or if a complete roof replacement is necessary.

How are cedar shake roofs installed?

Installing cedar shake roofs is a specialized skill that requires knowledge of proper techniques and attention to detail. The basic steps of a cedar shake roof installation typically include:
  1. Preparing the roof deck: The roof deck should be clean, dry, and structurally sound.
  2. Installing underlayment: A waterproof underlayment, such as felt paper or synthetic underlayment, is laid over the roof deck.
  3. Installing starter course: A double layer of shingles is installed along the eaves to provide a strong starting point.
  4. Installing the cedar shakes: Cedar shakes are installed in overlapping courses, starting from the eaves and working upward. The shakes are typically nailed to the roof deck with stainless steel nails.
  5. Installing flashing: Flashing is installed around chimneys, vents, valleys, and other roof penetrations to prevent leaks.
  6. Installing the ridge cap: The final layer of shingles is installed along the ridge to cover the exposed edges of the main shakes and provide a finished look.
It's highly recommended to hire a qualified cedar shake roofing contractor for the installation to ensure a proper and long-lasting roof.
