Noro Aosilqble SOUTH TAPER.S

Affordable

Made from the highest quality southern pine timber, preservative treated taper-sawn shakes are more affordable than cedar shakes and shingles. Greater uniformity means installation requires less time, lowering labor costs. Waste is less than 5%. And taper-sawn shakes can be installed directly over existing shingles, eliminating costly, messy removal and disposal of the old roof.

Energy Efficient

The extraordinary beauty of wood matched with the energy saving insulative value of SYP can reduce attic temperature 20 degrees during the summer. SYP R-values are 300% better than asphalt shingles, 400% above built-up rooftng.

Durable

Service life is 35-50 years for treated pine taper-sawn shakes; 8-15 years for westem red cedar shingles. Treated pine shakes can camT a 30 year warranty against insects and decay. Cedar rooftng offers no warranty.
