Shingle Siding
Cedar shingles lend a handmade character to your home. Their small size shingles allows them to wrap around curved walls and irregular architectural details. Larger and thicker, wood shakes are split rather than sawn and have a more rough-hewn appearance than shingles.
If you leave shingles unpainted or stained, they age gracefully, darkening over time. Sealers and stains protect unpainted wood from water and ultraviolet light, but must be renewed more often than paint.
