The sheer number of siding options that are currently available in the market makes choosing really difficult. However, if you've already made up your mind to have cedar siding installed, you'll find it easier to pick the type if you are aware of the different grades, styles, and finishes of quality cedar shingles. Some suppliers like WoodRoof.com provide a list of all the features of cedar that you need to know to make an informed decision. Cedar shake or shingles usually come in three grades based on their thickness and breadth. The process of installation may differ due to quality gaps but the basic ideas are simple enough for the average person to understand. Coating for protection also has various requirements depending on the material. All these can be properly explained if you go to the right cedar shingle or shake retailer.

  1. Cedar shingles have been quite popular and can be found on many homes. Otherwise known as wood shakes, cedar shingles make a great roofing material.
