Empire Shake

Natural wood shakes hold a prominent position in the roofing market with their aesthetic appeal. Unfortunately that aesthetic appeal is accompanied by significant challenges due to poor long-term performance, high maintenance, short life cycle and tendency to rot. Empire Shake™ and Empire Shake Plus™ roofing tiles provide eco-friendly and hassle-free synthetic alternatives to wood shake roofing. Empire Shake and Empire Shake Plus, manufactured using up to 25% recycled materials, combine the classic architectural detail of natural wood with the modern performance, long life cycle and energy efficiency found with synthetic tiles.

Empire Shake and Empire Shake Plus are available in 14 standard colors (including cool colors), unlimited custom colors, two thicknesses, and three widths. All of these elements can be used to create a truly unique home or facility.
