Cedar Shake Roof Sealer!

Typically a Cedar shake roof can cost tens to hundred's of thousand of dollars to install. They are a very beautiful roof when compared to the traditional asphalt shingle roof. The problem lies in the cost and or difficulty in restoring these roofs. You can either have then cleaned and stained with a transparent stain every two years or you can let the wood gray and "patina" naturally from the sun. The problem is that the constant sun, snow, and rain will deteriorate the cedar. This will lead to rotting and decay and eventually replacement of the entire roof.

Now there is a permanent option that will prevent internal rot and decay. CretoWood is a one time application that will permanently harden the interior cells of the cedar shingles. The chemical reaction between the active ingredients causes an internal barrier against rotting and decay and internally stabilizes the cellular structure. The silica in the CretoWood will react with the acids and alkaline which are present in the cedar shingles, creating a membrane that hydrates into "glass" over a 6 month period. This is a permanent solution that will also stop water from penetrating completely throughout the wood!

The advantages to CretoWood can save your cedar shake roof and you from thousands of dollars in damage. The CretoWood will not change the color of the wood and it will allow the wood to patina naturally from the Sun's UV rays. This creates a natural look that is desired without ever having to treat the roof again!
