Climate change results in stronger storms and temperature extremes that today's homes are not designed to withstand. This is where reliable cedar shingle siding offered by companies like WoodRoof.com comes into play. While many homes are already equipped with siding, the kind of material used can make all the difference. Cedar is known to be very tough and can withstand wind speeds of up to 245 mph, which is equivalent to the force of some of the strongest hurricanes on record; with weather systems like Sandy occurring more often than usual, having proper protection is becoming more necessary. When used as siding, cedar can make a highly efficient shield for a home when a superstorm strikes. Additionally, it resists insect infestation and weathering and has an anti-bacterial property, making it an extremely useful option in more ways than one.
