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
