Benefits ofCedar Roofing
Cedar roofing has a number of advantages that stretches beyond the looks and prestige. When a cedar roof is installed, the home consumes considerably less energy on heating and cooling of the home. Most homes lose a majority of heat through the roof. Cedar acts like an additional layer of insulation keeping the heat in and in the summer it doesn’t conduct heat like traditional asphalt shingles and metal roofs. Another considerable benefit is in the fact that it is sourced from sustainable materials and takes considerably less energy to produce.
