Western Red Cedar Shakes

Western red cedar shakes are roofing and/or siding materials made from split pieces of cedar, known for its rich color and natural resistance to decay and insects. People use them for their distinctive, rustic look that enhances the natural beauty of a home, as well as for their high durability and resistance to weather, decay, and insect damage. With proper treatment and care, cedar shakes require minimal maintenance compared to other siding options.
