Cedar Siding
If you’ve always dreamed of having a home covered in wood siding, Cedar should be your top choice. It adds the perfect amount of warmth and natural beauty to the exterior and interior of your home. Western Red Cedar, in particular, has a unique set of characteristics that make it naturally resistant to rot and decay – an issue present in many other types of wood. It is also greatly insulative, making your home temperature controlled while also allowing it to breathe.

A Deep History
Cedar trees produce fragrant, uniquely-shaped cones and have branches that look like pine needles. Their grand size and majesty is what makes them a totem for many cultures around the world. In Lebanon, the Cedar tree’s shape appears in their national flag and in North American Native tribes call it the tree of life.
Superior Versatility
Cedar wood siding’s versatility stretches across a wide variety of styles. With its high-concentration of natural oils and stunning aroma, Cedar wood easily fights off pests and fungi. Cedar siding is also one of the most environmentally friendly woods for siding use because any debris left from harvesting is reused by nature. It’s a renewable resource and completely biodegradable, unlike some other siding materials. With no manufacturing required as it is naturally made by nature, Cedar has a minimal footprint.

Cedar shingles
Cedar shingles are also known as cedar shakes which are basically shingles made from wood. Cedar shingles have been used for roofing and cladding of exterior walls for a very long time. Cedar shingles provide long-lasting protection from the elements and add a rustic look and feel to your home.
What is the difference between white cedar shingles and red cedar shingles?
Left unpainted or unfinished, white shingles come to take on a pretty silver-gray color. Red shingles, on the other hand, appear rich and classic in their natural state. However, red cedar shingles cannot be painted, while white shingles can be painted any desired color as they naturally absorb paint well.
What is the difference between cedar shingles and cedar shakes?
Cedar shakes are split off while shingles are sawn smooth on both sides and cut tapered. Lastly, shakes are thicker than shingles. Durability – Generally speaking, cedar shakes are more durable and last longer than shingles because they are thicker and made from premium grade wood
How long will painted cedar last?
Five to seven years
High-quality paint or stain, properly applied, should last five to seven years, and as many as 10, depending on weather conditions and if you maintain the siding. However, you may need to reapply a clear-coat stain every two years.
