EcoStar’s Empire Shake™ and Empire Shake Plus™ roofing tiles are custom crafted using real cedar shakes as a template to create an intricate texture that truly appears natural. These synthetic shake tiles are manufactured from 25% post-industrial recycled materials. Unlike real wood, Empire Shake and Empire Shake Plus provide superior protection from the most extreme elements such as rain, hail, snow, fire, extreme temperature change and UV sunlight. Little-to-no maintenance combined with a 50-year warranty means a trouble-free roofing solution with lasting performance.
