Recycled PVC Shingles

The eco-shake™ shingles have heavily textured wood grain to mimic the look of wood shakes. They are 22 inches (250 mm) in length, packaged in random widths of 5, 7, and 12 inches (130, 180, and 300 mm), and weigh approximately 250 pounds per square (12 kg/m2). The shingles cost $180 per square ($19/m2) plus shipping from Wagoner, Oklahoma and are available in three colors to replicate weathered cedar.

According to the manufacturer, Re-New Wood, Inc., the shingle meets or exceeds all BOCA, CABO, and ICBO requirements, including temperature cycling, freeze-thaw resistance, wind tests, and accelerated testing for ultraviolet (UV) light resistance. It carries a ‘Class A’ fire rating, is classified as Severe Hail Damage Resistant, and carries a 50-year warranty. Re-New Wood has been in business for about three years, but most of that time has been spent gaining the necessary approvals to gain market acceptance. So far, the shingles have only gone onto four houses.
