In its natural, unfinished state, Western Red Cedar has a richly textured grain. Its warm, mellow color tones range from light amber to deep honey brown. It remains subtly aromatic, and the characteristic fragrance of cedar adds another dimension to its universal appeal.

Western Red Cedar is an extremely durable wood that contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. It is also a dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. These characteristics, combined with Western Red Cedar’s natural insulation properties make shingles made from this versatile wood a preferred material for outdoor applications.
