As architectural trends evolve, so do the choices in building materials. Traditional roofing materials like natural cedar have been staples in American construction for decades. However, DaVinci synthetic shakes are now taking center stage, appealing to homeowners and builders for various reasons.
This article explores why DaVinci shakes, with their unique blend of durability, affordability, and aesthetic appeal, are becoming the preferred roofing choice over more conventional materials.
Material Matters
One of the biggest advantages of DaVinci synthetic shakes is the material used in their production – a mixture of epoxy resin, polymers, and pigments of natural origin. This combination has several key advantages:
- Environmentally friendliness: Polymers are sourced from, among other things, used packaging and bottles;
- Water resistance: Unlike cedar shakes, DaVinci shakes can be exposed to almost continuous water exposure without the risk of mold outbreaks or rot development;
- Fire resistance: Although most polymers are flammable, synthetic DaVinci shakes are much slower at spreading fire, which is of great importance in dense housing estates. A dry cedar roof can burn in no time.
For obvious reasons, DaVinci Roofscapes does not report on the exact composition of its shakes, but there are many indications that they are made primarily of plastic, which is further reinforced with resin. This provides flexibility that reduces the risk of hail damage.
One Of The Best Warranty Policies
DaVinci Roofscapes has been providing limited lifetime warranties on all its synthetic shakes and tiles for many years. In addition to the length of the warranty period, the company’s approach, which is very reliable in meeting its obligations and rectifying defects if they are properly detected and reported, is also convincing to purchase.
DaVinci Roofscapes’ warranty policy also makes installing synthetic cedar shakes from this company a great way to increase the resale value of your home. It is one of the most recognized building material manufacturers in the United States, and it can act as an argument when selling your current property.
Climate Adaptation
According to DaVinci Roofscapes Glenview, synthetic shakes are even ideally made for use in the climate typical of Chicagoland. In all likelihood, this statement can be extended to the entire northern United States. In developing its technologies, DaVinci has ensured that its polymers are as resistant to UV radiation, water, low and high temperatures, and impacts as possible.
Affordable Price
Surprisingly, DaVinci synthetic cedar shakes typically cost the same as natural wood. However, in exchange for a similar cost, you get much higher weather resistance, longevity, fire resistance, and an additional increase in the value of your home. Sounds perfect, right?
The only real drawback of DaVinci synthetic shakes is their aesthetics; while they certainly look good, no plastic can match natural cedar wood. However, even from a distance of 10-15 meters, most people will have great difficulty distinguishing synthetic shakes from ordinary ones.
