Brava Roof Tile manufactures versatile Cedar Shake composite tiles that perform beautifully as both roofing and siding material. Made from 100% post-industrial recycled polyethylene right here in the USA, Brava Cedar Shake siding delivers the warm, textured appearance of natural cedar with none of the maintenance headaches that come with real wood. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights installs Brava composite shake siding throughout Rhode Island for homeowners seeking a durable, sustainable exterior cladding solution.
Brava Cedar Shake siding tiles are available in three width options to create different visual effects on your home. The 5-inch width produces a tighter, more refined pattern, while the 7-inch width offers a traditional cedar shake appearance. The 12-inch width creates a bold, dramatic look with fewer visible seam lines. Each tile ranges from 5/8 inch to 7/8 inch in thickness, giving the siding genuine depth and shadow lines that flat panel products simply cannot replicate.
This range of sizes allows our installation team to create custom patterns tailored to the architectural style of your home. Whether you prefer a uniform layout or a staggered, rustic appearance, Brava Cedar Shake tiles provide the flexibility to achieve your vision.
Brava Cedar Shake siding carries some of the highest performance ratings in the composite siding industry. Each tile achieves a Class A fire rating, the highest available for building materials, providing superior fire resistance compared to natural wood siding. The Class 4 impact rating means these tiles can withstand hail and flying debris without cracking or breaking.
Wind resistance is where Brava truly stands apart. With ratings of 188 mph in standard applications and up to 211 mph in enhanced installations, Brava Cedar Shake siding is engineered for the most demanding coastal weather conditions. For Rhode Island homeowners who experience harsh storms, this level of wind resistance provides meaningful protection and peace of mind.
Every Brava Cedar Shake tile is manufactured from 100% post-industrial recycled polyethylene, making it one of the most environmentally responsible siding options available. Unlike fiber cement siding that requires energy-intensive manufacturing processes, or natural cedar that contributes to deforestation, Brava tiles repurpose industrial waste materials into a high-performance building product.
The recycled polyethylene composition also means Brava tiles will not absorb water, split, rot, or attract insects. They require no painting, staining, or sealing over their lifetime, eliminating the ongoing environmental impact of maintenance chemicals and reducing your long-term costs.
Brava offers custom color matching to ensure your composite shake siding complements your existing design elements. Whether you want to match your roof color, coordinate with stone or brick accents, or create a completely unique exterior palette, Brava can manufacture tiles in virtually any color you specify.
The color is integrated throughout the tile material rather than applied as a surface coating. This means the color will not peel, chip, or flake over time, and minor scratches or abrasions will not reveal a different color underneath. Your siding maintains its appearance for decades without refinishing.
Brava backs their Cedar Shake composite siding with a comprehensive 50-year warranty, reflecting their confidence in the long-term performance of this product. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and provides homeowners with decades of protection on their siding investment.
When you combine the 50-year warranty with zero maintenance requirements and superior weather resistance, Brava Cedar Shake siding offers one of the lowest total cost of ownership figures in the premium siding market. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights handles every aspect of your Brava siding installation, from initial consultation through final inspection.

Brava composite siding is manufactured from a blend of recycled polymers and other composite materials, engineered to replicate the appearance of natural cedar shakes and other traditional siding profiles. The material is molded from real wood patterns to achieve an authentic texture and grain. It is produced in the USA and designed to withstand harsh weather without the maintenance demands of natural wood.
Brava composite siding is designed to last 50 years or more with virtually no maintenance. It will not rot, crack, split, or warp like natural wood, and it resists insect damage and moisture absorption. Brava backs their products with a limited lifetime warranty, giving homeowners long-term confidence in their investment.
Yes. Brava composite siding is molded from actual cedar shake patterns, so the texture, grain variation, and shadow lines closely replicate natural wood. The siding is available in a wide range of colors that are integrated throughout the material, not just on the surface. Most people cannot tell the difference between Brava composite and natural cedar from the street.
Brava composite siding is engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, coastal salt air, and high winds common throughout Rhode Island. It carries a Class A fire rating and resists impact damage from hail. Unlike natural wood, it does not absorb moisture, which eliminates the cracking and warping that New England winters cause on traditional siding materials.
The upfront cost of Brava composite siding is generally comparable to or moderately higher than premium-grade natural cedar. However, over the life of the product, Brava is significantly less expensive because it requires no painting, staining, sealing, or replacement of damaged shakes. Pinnacle Roofing provides free estimates that help homeowners compare the total cost of ownership between materials.
No. Brava composite siding color is integrated throughout the material during manufacturing, so it never needs painting or staining. The color is UV-stable and designed to resist fading over decades. This eliminates one of the most time-consuming and expensive maintenance requirements of natural wood siding.
In some cases, Brava siding can be installed over existing siding, but this depends on the condition of the current substrate and local building codes. Pinnacle Roofing typically recommends removing old siding to inspect and repair the sheathing and weather barrier underneath, which ensures the best long-term performance. We assess each project individually during our free on-site evaluation.
