Visitors to the Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church in Johnson City, N.Y., are immediately captivated by the traditional Ukrainian design of the structure. Topped by three 80-foot domes, the massive building looks like it’s made completely of wood shakes on the siding and roof. A closer look reveals that the roof is made of DaVinci polymer shakes that replicate real wood shingles. Completed in 2011, the reroofing project includes 90 squares of weather-resistant, long-lasting Valoré polymer shake tiles in a Tuscano color blend of light, medium light, medium, and dark autumn colors.
