Cedar Shakes & Shingles

Cedar shakes and shingles are popular choices for homeowners looking to enhance their home’s exterior with natural wood. Both options offer excellent durability, insulation, and a timeless aesthetic, but understanding their differences helps you select the best fit for your home.

Cedar Shakes vs. Cedar Shingles

• Cedar Shakes:

• Thicker, with a rough and rustic appearance.

• Hand-split or mechanically sawn, giving them a textured, irregular look.

• Ideal for homeowners seeking a more natural, rugged aesthetic.

• Slightly better at withstanding harsh weather due to their thickness.

• Cedar Shingles:

• Thinner and precisely cut for a smooth, uniform appearance.

• Laid in even rows for a cleaner, more refined look.

• Great for homeowners who prefer a polished, traditional style.

• Slightly more energy-efficient due to tighter spacing.

Benefits of Cedar Shakes & Shingles

• Natural Durability: Cedar is naturally resistant to insects, rot, and moisture, making it ideal for long-lasting protection.
