Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Our Most Common Questions
Clear, homeowner-friendly answers about fire rating, installation, warranty, and insurance - organized so you can quickly find what you need.
CEDUR is the only standalone Class A Fire Rated roofing material that does not require a special fire-resistant underlayment during installation. Most high-end synthetic or composite roofing products only achieve a Class A rating as part of a complete system that includes a fire-resistant underlayment - meaning the product itself isn't Class A on its own. CEDUR's shake is noncombustible and engineered to resist and even stop flame spread.
In many cases, yes. Insurance companies are increasingly cautious about wood shake roofs and may impose higher premiums or decline coverage altogether. Many major insurers - including State Farm, Chubb, USAA, American Family Insurance, Amica, and Allstate - offer discounts for homes with a Class A fire rated and Class 4 impact rated roof. CEDUR meets both standards, and several homeowners have reported lower premiums after installation.
CEDUR shakes are backed by a 50-year limited warranty - considered a lifetime warranty within the roofing industry. This reflects the company's confidence in the product's long-term durability, color retention, and resistance to the elements.
Many HOAs that previously allowed natural wood shake roofs no longer do, due to fire and insurance concerns. CEDUR gives homeowners a way to keep the authentic wood shake look their community requires while meeting modern fire, wind, and durability standards. CEDUR is trusted by HOAs, architects, and property managers nationwide, and documentation is available to support your architectural review process.
CEDUR installs much like traditional hand-split cedar shake, using three core components - Starter, Field Material, and Hip & Ridge. No special tools or underlayment are required. Installers use ring shank roofing nails, snap chalk lines on the underlayment rather than the shakes, and can score or cut shakes with a standard utility knife or skill saw to fit tight spaces.
No - CEDUR's proprietary polyurethane technology delivers the authentic look and feel of cedar without the added weight of natural wood. This makes installation faster and reduces the structural load placed on the roof deck, without sacrificing durability or performance.
