Wood roof styles are beautiful and durable
When it comes to physical appearance, there are few materials that can match the natural beauty of wood shingles and shakes. Most wood shingles and shakes are cut from Western red Cedar; you can also get shakes created from Eastern Cedar or pine. One of the major issues home owners have with wood shakes is the threat of fire. Many of the wooden shingles or shakes on the market today have been pressure-handled with the fire-retardant chemical. These shingles have a class "B" fire rating. The only way to get a class "A" fire rating is to apply retardant-treated shingles above at back of specific gypsum and sheathing. Untreated shingles or those treated with only a spring on coding will burn like kindling if there is a fire.
