Enviroshake is a revolutionary composite roofing product that captures the timeless beauty of natural cedar shakes while delivering superior performance and environmental benefits. Made from recycled materials and engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, Enviroshake roofing offers homeowners the perfect blend of aesthetics, durability, and sustainability. Unlike natural cedar, Enviroshake won't rot, split, or curl, and it's backed by a comprehensive warranty.
Enviroshake is a composite roofing product manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario, made primarily from recycled materials including post-industrial cellulose fibre and recycled polymers. It mimics the look of natural cedar shake with a Class A fire rating, Class 4 impact resistance (the highest available), and a 50-year limited warranty. It does not rot, split, curl, or require preservative treatments.
Enviroshake carries a Class 4 impact resistance rating — the highest classification under UL 2218 testing — meaning it is tested to withstand 2-inch steel ball impacts without cracking. For Edmonton homeowners in hail-prone areas, Class 4-rated products like Enviroshake can qualify for reduced home insurance premiums with many Alberta insurers.
Enviroshake comes with a 50-year limited transferable warranty. Unlike natural cedar, which requires periodic staining and treatment and typically lasts 20–30 years in Alberta's climate, Enviroshake is virtually maintenance-free and designed to outlast the building it covers.
Yes — Enviroshake costs more upfront than standard asphalt shingles, but the 50-year warranty, zero maintenance requirements, and potential insurance savings often make it more cost-effective over the life of the roof. It is an ideal choice for homeowners who plan to stay long-term or want to maximize resale value.
