Elegance is certainly one of the first things that stand out in the case of a wooden roof, but there are several other advantages this coating material provides, mainly consisting in protection and high efficiency.

Wood shake roofs are still popular among fans of the Eco current, as well as among those people who are nostalgic for traditional-looking houses. Currently, wood shake roofing is no longer one of the first options, being relatively perishable compared to new materials, and more difficult to bring to current comfort standards.

The lifespan of a wood shake roof can be estimated at somewhere around 30 years or even longer, but it needs maintenance. Shakes are quite vulnerable to insects, mosses and lichens, which form mainly on the northern slopes, but also to fire. There are modern methods of treatment, which can be applied during the manufacturing process, by immersion in certain substances. After the installation of the roof, it is recommended to treat the shakes every few years, because rain, snow and wind may wash them quite quickly.

You can tell that your wooden roof needs to be replaced, as soon as it gets close to the lifespan guaranteed by the manufacturer, or deteriorates prematurely, due to extreme conditions or lack of periodic maintenance.  No matter the type of roofing Aurora CO you choose for your home or business, always have it installed by professionals.
