Western Red Cedar has been the traditional choice for roofing and siding for many years, and is a very popular choice, due to its aesthetic appeal, classy look, and natural resistance to insects and rot. Western Red Cedar actually has many shades other than red, including blondes, browns, and even yellows. These various shades are a natural occurrence of this species, and are part of the charm of Western Red Cedar. Typically used for roof applications, Premium Grade ⅝ in. x 18 in. Tapersawn Shakes are a kind of shake/shingle hybrid, blending the thickness of a shake, with the sawn surface of a shingle. With a ⅝ in. thick butt edge, the tapersawn shake is sawn on both sides but features a natural taper to achieve a semi-textured look with a strong shadow line. As a siding, the tapersawn shake will have a unique rustic appearance, different from most smooth-side sidewall shingles. Premium Grade Tapersawn Western Red Cedar Shakes are 100% Edge grain, 100% Clear and 100% Heartwood.
