CUSTOM-BILT SHAKES* From the manufacturer's website / brochure:

 

Our aluminum shakes and shingles offer the rustic look of split, weathered wood. But unlike wood, they feature our Cool Roof reflective paint, will last a lifetime and can withstand winds of up to 120 mph. Lightweight, fire-resistant and made from 98% post-consumer recycled metals, our Country Manor Shakes andRustic Shingles are locked together on all four sides to create a weather-tight seal.

 
 

Though made of aluminum, these shakes feature the texture of old-world, hand-split cedar. But despite their rustic aesthetic, these shakes offer extreme energy efficiency with BASF® and Kynar 500® reflective pigmentation technology that reflects up to 70% of the sun's energy and reduces cooling costs up to 20%. We're so confident in their durability, these shakes come with a lifetime warranty.

    LeakMaster's Opinion   


I like everything about these shakes, except their looks, which I find a little artificial. That's just my opinion, what's more important is what you think about them. The Kynar 500 coating with the BASF Infrared "Cool Roof" pigments are state of the art. The wind uplift rating is good. They don't burn. Very lightweight. Walkable. Are they for you?
