About Brava Cedar Shake

Brava Cedar Shake tiles capture the warm, rustic beauty of hand-split cedar without the rot, fire risk, and constant maintenance that real wood demands. Each tile features realistic split textures and natural grain variation that looks authentic from every angle.

Unlike natural cedar shake that requires regular staining, sealing, and moss treatment - and typically lasts only 15-20 years in Northern Virginia's climate - Brava's composite shake lasts 50+ years with virtually zero upkeep. The Class 4 impact rating and Class A fire resistance make it a smarter choice for wooded Northern Virginia neighborhoods where real cedar shake presents both a fire hazard and ongoing maintenance burden.
