Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake Roof in Northbrook
There are many synthetic roofing products in the market, but here at Smart Roofing Inc. we use only the best. Based on our 25 years of experience and seeing a multitude of options, Brava synthetic cedar shake and DaVinci synthetic shake are the best all around. From the shape to the color to the quality, these composite roofing material last much longer than natural cedar shake, look great throughout their lifespan without changing color, and are much more durable to all elements. These are exactly the reasons why this homeowner in Northbrook decided to have his roof done with Brava.
Selecting the right roof is always a concern when having to replace your existing roof. With synthetic materials the main issue is the look of the finished roof. Many people worry that composite roofing materials will end up looking like plastic and will be very easy to spot as synthetic. That is where Brava steals the spotlight and displays its realism so nicely in this home we did in Northbrook. With variable widths of cedar pieces, variable thickness, wood grain texture, and a beautiful selection of colors, Brava’s synthetic shake looks like the real deal. The color choices, and even the option for custom colors, ensure that your roof will look like a real aged cedar shake roof. With a natural Class A and optional class C fire rating, 50 year limited warranty, and a Class 4 impact rating, this synthetic cedar shake roof will last much longer than a regular cedar shake roof and withstand all the elements Northbrook can offer.
The only thing that can compliment a great Brava roof, is great copper sheet metal work and copper gutters. With at least a 50 year life expectancy of this synthetic shake, copper will easily last just as long, and the color will age to match the Brava shake even better. Smart Roofing Inc. is especially proud of the copper finial on the turret roof, which was coated with an acrylic clear finish at the homeowner’s request to prevent aging of the copper and ensure it will shine for decades. We are very proud of this Brava synthetic cedar shake roof in Northbrook.

SMART Roofing is a proud member of the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau:
The Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau is a non-profit organization that promotes the use of Certi-labelTM cedar roofing and sidewall products. On June 9, 1915, at a meeting of the Trustees of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers Association, it was agreed to establish a branch of the association to serve those members who manufactured shingles. Our influence grew, and as we survived both the Great Depression and World War II, manufacturers continued their quality commitment. In 1963 the organization merged with the Handsplit Shake Bureau to become the Red Cedar Shingle & Handsplit Shake Bureau.
Manufacturers’ product lines continued to broaden and, in 1988, the members changed the organization’s name to the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau. In the late 1980s, mill quality control inspections were subcontracted to independent, third party quality control agencies.
Each year the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau’s staff answer thousands of technical questions and product selection queries. The responsibility for educating the public and building code officials falls on the CSSB. Owing to knowledgeable staff, the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau has earned the distinction as the recognized industry authority.
