Perfection Cut Cedar Shingles Provide Precision Style & Value
For the homeowner who values a clean, tailored aesthetic, Perfection Cut Cedar Shingles offer a level of symmetry and sophistication that is unmatched. Each shingle is sawn on both sides for a smooth finish and a uniform thickness of 3/8". Perfection Cut shingles create the crisp, horizontal lines often seen on classic New England estates and modern shingle-style architecture.
Western Red Cedar Blue Label Old Growth 18-inch Perfection Shingles
Our standard choice are 18-inch Perfection Shingles sourced exclusively from Blue Label Canadian mills - the highest grade available in the industry.
-
100% Edge Grain: Ensures maximum stability and resistance to warping or cupping over time.
-
Zero Defects: 100% clear wood and 100% heartwood, providing natural resistance to decay and insects.
-
Precision Aesthetics: The 18-inch length allows for a standard 5 to 5.5-inch exposure, creating a tight, weather-resistant bond that looks as precise as it performs.
Tapersawn Cedar Shakes Provide Architectural Charm & Longer Lifespans
Tapersawn cedar shakes are a premier roof option that provides a dramatic, textured appearance. In comparison to Perfection Cut shingles, which have a 3/8-inch thickness throughout the entire shingle, Tapersawn Shakes have a tapered cut with a larger 5/8-inch thickness at the butt-end. This added thickness provides the rugged, heavy shadow lines typically associated with hand-split shakes, but with the flat-lying reliability of a sawn shingle. The result is a roof that looks substantial, feels permanent, and offers superior longevity.
Western Red Cedar Blue Label Old Growth 18-inch Tapersawn Shake
Our premium choice for Tapersawn Shakes are 18-inch Old Growth sourced exclusively from Blue Label Canadian mills—the highest grade available in the industry.
-
100% Edge Grain: Sourced from slow-growth timber to ensure maximum grain density and structural integrity, preventing the twisting or curling common in lesser grades.
-
Zero Defects: 100% clear wood and 100% heartwood, offering superior natural resistance to rot, decay, and moisture infiltration without the need for chemical treatments.
-
Architectural Depth: The heavier 18-inch taper-cut allows for a 5.5-inch exposure, creating a dramatic, three-dimensional shadow line that provides a rugged yet refined aesthetic for custom estates.
