PURCHASING CEDAR MASTER
Cedar products with the “Certi” brand name on the bundle label uniquely guarantees that the mill undergoes rigorous inspections by an independent third party agency. Only Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau (CSSB) member mills are allowed to label their products with the Certi-Label . Each member mill’s bundles will have the distinctive Certi-Label tucked under the bundle strap.
For even longer life span, where climate is a factor, Cedar Master offers pressure-impregnated preservative treated shakes and shingles (CCA Treated). These products are ideal for high humidity environments common in Southeast Asia. The CSSB recommends using Certi-Last products in most of the tropical climate countries. This treatment extends the life of Cedar Shakes and Shingles.
CCA Treated products are cedar shakes and shingles that are factory pressure-treated by highly-experienced treatment plants accredited by the CSSB and / or QAI.
The Warranty
Civil Master International (CMI) provides a 5-10 year warranty covering installation and waterproof durability, dependent on the design, slope, and details of the roof.* CMI warranties the quality of its work with a letter of warranty once the installation has been completed. This condition can be exercised only if CMI is the supplier and installer of the product according to the stated details. All roof accessories equipped with Cedar roofing are as important as the Cedar material itself. Anti-termite and fungal-decay protection, sub roof and stainless steel fastenings (staples or nails) are highly recommend to achieve the CMI installation standard.
Cedar Shakes and Shingles are treated by the pressure-impregnated preservative treatment process (CCA) to ensure the maximum Cedar life expectancy.
