A trade group has taken its beef with U.S. duties on Canadian cedar shakes and shingles to the next level and filed a lawsuit at the Court of International Trade.
Despite Hurricane Florence and three other major hurricanes hitting Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant in Kill Devil Hills, N.C. hard in the past nine years, the composite shake roof on the restaurant has survived and provided security for the oceanside structure.
PrimeSource Building Products recently was awarded a patent for its innovative design of a synthetic underlayment called ShingleLayment, which the company claims is the only synthetic underlayment in the market designed to protect a roof and look like a shingled rooftop during construction.
3M and TV host Mike Holmes have partnered to increase awareness of black streaks caused by algae — naming shingles with Scotchgard Protector a Holmes-approved product.
