Cedar Shingle Roofs & cladding by Dransfield Roofing West Yorkshire Ltd.
Timber has always been one of nature's more versatile, adaptable and attractive materials. Cedar in particular, with its natural attributes of strength, beauty and incredible durability, is today one of the most popular woods for building applications - increasingly in the form of Cedar Shingles fitted by Darnsfiled Roofing West Yorkshire Ltd.
The rich warm colour and texture of Cedar Shingles and Shakes gives any building, inside or out, a touch of individuality that blends naturally with the environment. The natural preservatives in the wood also ensure these good looks last, the only effects of ageing and weathering are the gradual change of colour to an attractive silvery grey.
Shingles and Shakes are ideal for both traditional and modern structures creating truly individual buildings, from a small gazebo to a major theme park. They are equally suited to both roofing, for pitches as low as 14ยบ, and vertical cladding, offering an attractive alternative to weatherboarding.
The aesthetic qualities of Western Red Cedar Shingles and Shakes provide every project with adistinctive beauty. The natural attributes of Cedar (even grain, exceptional strength in proportion to weight, low ratio of expansion and contraction, high impermeability to liquids and outstanding natural durability) are reinforced by the additional strength derived from the overlapping method of installation. Once nailed in place Cedar Shingles and Shakes possess outstanding rigidity offering structures that are highly resistant to seasonal extremes such as; hurricane winds, driving snow, ice, rain or sun.
