Can cedar shakes and shingles be fire treated, or preservative treated?
Cedar roofs can be fire treated for areas where this is required, and have been proven to not spread fires. Check with local building officials in your area to see if this is required. Cedar shakes and shingles can also be preservative treated (CCA) to further the life of your roof. This is highly recommended in areas of high humidity and where a lot rain is prevelant. Both the fire treatment, and CCA preservative are pressure impregnated for long lasting results. Pease avoid all topical treatments.
