Cedar Shake Roofing FAQs

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

Are cedar shakes fire-resistant?

Cedar wood is a combustible material, meaning it can burn. However, cedar shakes can be treated with fire retardants to improve their fire resistance. These treatments are typically applied during the manufacturing process or can be applied after installation. While fire-retardant treatments can enhance fire safety, they may not provide the same level of fire resistance as other roofing materials, such as metal or tile. Check with your local building codes for requirements regarding fire ratings for cedar shake roofs.

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.

How much does a cedar shake roof cost?

The cost of a cedar shake roof varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the roof, the type of cedar shakes (hand-split or sawn, tapersawn or straightsplit), the quality of materials, labor costs in your region, and whether it's a new installation or a replacement. Get multiple quotes from reputable cedar shake roofing contractors on Roofyng.co.uk for accurate estimates tailored to your project.

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.
