Western Red Cedar Shingles - Prowood Ltd.

Thursday 28th February 2019.

Western Red Cedar Shingles have a universal appeal and are an excellent choice for roofing and siding, very popular around the world, especially in Europe. Shingles are sawn on both sides and provide a very clean and sleek look. Shingles come in 16” lengths with varying widths.

Western Red Cedar is an evergreen coniferous tree geographically specific to the Pacific North West & North America. Its beauty and stature, up to 300 feet tall and 21 feet in diameter, is marvelled at the world over. The products manufactured from Cedar are valued for their distinct appearance, aroma, great insulation value and its high natural resistance to decay.

With time, Cedar exposed to the elements, will start to turn a silvery-grey colour, which not only becomes an attractive feature, but also aids buildings in keeping cool in summer and warm in the winter.
