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.

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.
