Under its DaVinci Roofscapes brand, Westlake Royal Building Products has launched two new shake colors—Timber Black and Blonde Cedar. The contrasting shades both highlight the natural variations that occur depending on when, where, and how cedar is harvested.
“The latest additions to our Nature Crafted collection highlight DaVinci’s dedication to creating roofing options that balance natural beauty with exceptional performance,” says Mark Pagel, general manager, DaVinci Roofscapes. “Timber Black and Blonde Cedar showcase the striking contrast and authenticity of real cedar, while delivering the durability and low-maintenance benefits homeowners expect from DaVinci.”
DaVinci Roofscapes' new Blonde Cedar shade.
Part of the Nature Crafted collection, Timber Black offers deep grays and blacks similar of the rich shades of freshly burning charcoal. The new color joins a textured shake appearance with bold tones to achieve an authentic feel of rustic black cedar trees found deep in the Eastern forests of North America.
The new Blonde Cedar color has distinct grain patterns mimicking the light and airy coloring of sun-kissed cedar. To lighten a home’s entire exterior, the warm hue gives a roof a subtle luster of golden tones.
Timber Black and Blonde Cedar are available in Select Shake, Single-Width Shake, and Multi-Width Shake. Modeled from hand-split shake for natural, non-repeating beauty, DaVinci shakes do not require the ongoing maintenance, repairs, and replacement of wood.
The unique composite construction beats natural cedar shake with a Class A Fire Rating, Class 4 Impact Rating, and a 110-mph Straight-line Wind Rating. The shakes withstand winds up to 180 mph, meeting coastal Florida’s performance for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) and Miami-Dade wind requirements when fastened properly.
