The rustic beauty and architectural detail of a thick, rustic, hand-split wood shake can endure for a lifetime with DECRA Shake XD. The durability and unsurpassed strength of stone-coated steel requires little to no maintenance and won't turn gray after a few months like traditional shake. 

While wood shakes undoubtedly provide a distinctive beauty, it's a beauty that goes to grey quickly after a brief period of exposure to the elements. Cupping, splitting, and loosening around the fasteners make wood shakes prone to wind uplift and their impact and moisture resistance is minimal. Wood shakes, even top-of-the-line cedar, are vulnerable to bacteria and fungus and are one of the most high maintenance roofing options. 

Designed to last a lifetime, DECRA Shake XD provides the desired aesthetics of a shake roof without the need for the ongoing roof maintenance.
