About Enviroshake

Berkan Construction is a certified installer of Enviroshake products, pioneers in the composite roofing industry. The durable and attractive roofing materials are the only composites that authentically look like natural cedar shakes, cedar shingles, and natural slate. They also offer unsurpassed performance and longevity.

With Enviroshake tiles, homeowners can achieve the cedar roof look they want. But without the maintenance and other problems associated with real wood and other natural materials.

Enviroshake products have been used in numerous high profile new construction and renovation projects. This includes Sandy Lane Resort in Barbados and the Henry David Thoreau home, and have been featured on various television shows.

Composites are engineered to look as realistic as possible to natural cedar, with the use of 3D images of cedar shakes and shingles. This ensures the final product replicates the authentic cedar look from the profiles, thickness, width, and topical grain texture. Some composites are even designed to weather like natural cedar. Within the first year they have the natural variation and silvered colour of cedar. And all without the concern of further degradation that is unavoidable with natural cedar.

Why Enviroshake is great for Barbados builds

The Enviroshake has less than two per cent moisture absorption, eliminating  any mould, mildew, rotting, and the diminished aesthetic that takes place with natural cedar in humid climates such as Barbados.

Enviroshake has achieved the highest impact test rating (level 4, UL2218) making it extremely durable. It is able to withstand foot traffic, falling tree branches, and even golf balls.

High winds are no match for Enviroshake which exhibited superior performance in tests for up to category five wind speeds (180 MPH/290 km/h). Enviroshake also has a lower heat transfer ratio than natural cedar.

Homeowners thinking about balancing aesthetics, performance, cost and total value will love Enviroshake's composite shakes and shingles. Their natural aesthetics, durability, and longevity make them a superior option to natural slate and shake. Composites are also backed by substantial warranties. In most cases backing the products for a lifetime or 50 years. Composite and synthetic roof tiles offer discerning homeowners a high quality tested roofing option.
