Description

Western Red Cedar Shingles & Shakes from Marley are a truly renewable and sustainable roofing and cladding material; with one of the lowest carbon footprints of any widely used building product. They are light to transport yet durable and offer a high degree of thermal insulation.

Shingles and Shakes have been used for a wide range of structures from simple garden gazebos to domestic dwellings to major theme parks. Shingles and Shakes perform the same functions but are manufactured in different ways. A Shingle is produced by sawing a block of wood on both sides, giving a relatively smooth face and back. A Shake is hand split from a block of cedar along the natural grain of the wood and then resawn to produce one smooth surface.

They can be used for both roofing and cladding. Cedar Shingles can be fixed to pitches as low as 14 degrees.

Marley MicroPro Preserved Timber

MicroPro is a revolutionary preservative system incorporating micronized copper and co-biocides to create a new generation of wood preservatives with enhanced technical performance and distinctive environmental and aesthetic product features, when compared to other current copper based systems. Developed within the US, the preservative system is now used to treat approximately 70% of all timber in United States and is used globally across 4 continents as a highly effective timber preservative system against fungal decay and insect attack in high to low risk applications (UC4- UC1). European versions of micronised copper preservatives are manufactured, using the proprietary Osmose MicroPro technology, under the control systems of ISO 14001. The recognised standard in Europe for environmental management.

Fixings

For maximum life, fixing should be made with 2 no. 31mm x 1.8mm silicon bronze annular ring nails per shingle. As a guide approximately 1kg of nails are required to fix 6 bundles of shingles.

Installation

The shingles should be fixed at the appropriate gauge directly onto roofing battens. Use a double course of shingles as a starter course at the eave. The shingles should project at least 38mm beyond the eave protection, or if a gutter is used, at least to the centre line of the gutter. They should extend 38mm over the verge or gable moulding/barge board.

Space the shingles 5mm apart and nail or staple each shingle twice. The nails/staples should be fixed 19mm in from the edge and 38mm above the butt of the course above. Ensure that joints in any one course have a side lap of no less than 38mm from the joint in adjacent courses, and in any 3 courses, that no 2 joints align. Battens should be strong and stiff enough to withstand the proposed loading and provide adequate fixing and alignment.

They must comply with BS  5534: 2014. Marley recommends 25 x 38mm JB-Red factory graded battens. A Marley breathable membrane is also recommended.
