" I'm Brian how are good this is not something that we have worked with before. And it's essentially it's a shake but what is it what's it made out of it's made from. Post industrial plastics. Agricultural fibers such as flax and hemp. And crumb rubber from tires wow so it's recycling. Old soda bottles and old automobile tires and then what's the natural element that you talked about blacks or flax and hemp fiber. Typically that would be burned or plowed under were able to reclaim those fibers and utilize them in the manufacturing process wow now where was this developed. Was developed to go off Ontario. Like a chemist by the name of Ian Muir and tool and die gentleman. That would be Stuart Robertson so this is. Created a mold it was created animal that's correct. It's about ten years or researcher disintegration. And what are the advantages of using this over using you know red cedar shake. The advantage is longevity. It's it's you know guaranteed not to warp crack blister peel flake. As fifty or wanting 5050 years yes and it's not paraded. The won't -- warranty is transferable from one owner of home to another. The part -- maintenance free once it's applied. How treatments are pre treatment how it whether. Inserts -- little bit darker in color and it will go to a -- alike her -- gray color similar to. That if one is a weathered one this is the weathered one Agassi if it does lighten up and looks very similar to three to four year old so with cedar OK and -- when you put it on it it's pretty black it looks pretty much like a slate product it's quite a bit darker to darker brownish gray color and it does convert to this natural weathered look of cedar. And it stays that way once it reaches that stage and the cost. The cost is come parable to -- through premium roofing such as this -- referring shake like steel roofing and comparable as well to premium cedar. "

" Let's say hi to Chris Jackson who's. -- had nothing installation up here why is nice and warm up on the roof hi Chris absolutely very Bob you get your harness on that's good. Bob how easy is it to install this type of roofing product. The -- fairly easy to install we follow basically the guidelines of real cedar we can put my hand -- you guys do larceny you're. Or we could -- after you got. What kind of nails how we use galvanized roofing nails inch and three quarters on new construction -- we can use two inches uncovering new construction and I noticed I didn't realize before there were all uniform in size but I guess here you're splitting them up here so that you can have the look of various different dimensions yes actually we have three different profiles that we offer we have 66. We have a solid wall. And then we have what we call before eight. Now do you have to review here how do you split them you have that you saw and a dozen knife or what do you think any of which are part of the roof you're working on her rallies will we do is we can use against we just making a template plate on our personal. Or we have no ability to dole candidacy you can just put them what you would an ordinary wood shingle absolutely do you have to worry in a roof like this especially with the dark color about. Expansion and contraction as -- heats up and then cools down actually our testing methods have allowed us to. Have very very minimal expansions lessons that 2%. What we do is we have. Water test for 72 hours in what do designees less than point 8. The compound. So Chris the placement of the nails is always. Where in relationship to the shingle before we -- on the back yours we have our what we call a nailing strip. It's roughly one finger below our definition lying right and we're pretty consistent across aboard their case that definition line is your guide yes. Sleep overnight exposure line she didn't hear. I would recommend on that they can be installed at seven inches in that managers had seven or nine -- at a certain whether they're better yeah that's it's largely by the aesthetics too absolutely. The scale of the roof versus how much. Exposure you've got what about the the ridge caps that you're putting on -- can you bend those on site action our ridge caps are pre manufacture -- at her laugh factory what we do is when a customer calls and puts an order. For specific pitch on his roof cola company that put down. Anywhere from 312 up to a sixteen poems we've got it. Yeah we got -- at twelve pitch here beautiful wolf here and so you have to specify them there's actually not enough give that you could bend them in the field. What we do is we ticker solid wall that we put over top Vila wow yeah. A template and we've and in a place puts her cooling process and that's opens it."
