Yes, with care. Country Manor Shake panels are made from flat aluminum sheet which is formed into its final shape. It actually takes 184 square feet of aluminum to make enough Country Manor Shake to cover a 100 square foot area. The forming process used to make the product gives added strength and rigidity; therefore, occasional trips to the roof for chimney cleaning or other types of home maintenance should pose no problem. Contact your trained Authorized Perfection Dealer for details.

Yes; Aluminum reflects the vast majority of the sun’s rays, so it doesn’t retain as much heat as wood, asphalt shingles, tile, or cement. This means your Country Manor Shake roof will not pass the sun’s heat into your attic, reducing the load on your air conditioner in the hot summer months and possibly saving you energy dollars.

The finish used is an exclusive Kynar 500* or Hylar 5000** coating, a two-coat, high performance finish, which has exclusive weathering characteristics. The coating gets its durability and color retention characteristics from the high molecular weight of its formulation. During its application, the molecules in the paint coating are chemically joined to form a strong coating that resists breakdown by ultraviolet rays and provides a very durable, long-lasting finish.

Country Manor Shake has by far the best warranty in the business; a lifetime, non-prorated, limited transferable warranty.

Students should be practical in their approach to constructing the interior details for their models.

Too much attention to decorating details and enhancements in the model can actually detract from the overall effect.

Even though a Pine Shake roof can be installed over an existing roof it is important that a professional check all eaves and other walkable areas for rotted wood. Repairs must be made before proceeding with the Pine Shake installation. There are unique flashing available for all required areas and this flashing would be used over the existing flashings.

No. A properly vented steel roof system moves air both between the shingles and the underlying deck as well as moving air from vents under the decking. Heated air is allowed to dissipate through the ridgeline as cooler air is drawn through eave vents. Reduced energy bills can result from airflow both under and over the decking.

It is usual to fit the panels over the existing roof tiles as this is much cheaper, however solar panels can also be integrated into the roof.

The CSSB does not advise homeowners to walk on their roofs themselves; if a roof survey is needed, ensure that you hire a professional contractor to do this work for you as s/he has the proper safety equipment, training, and procedures to perform this work safely.
