Product Description

           Western Red Cedar is scientifically classified as a "Durable" species in the United Kingdom and because of this durability it is widely favoured by architects and engineers seeking an aesthetically pleasing, light weight alternative to traditional roof and wall tiles. For over a century Western Red Cedar Shakes have proven to be a superior material for roof and wall cladding which is durable, warm and resisitant to extremes of wind and weather. In an environmentally conscious world they are clearly the Natural Choice!

           Material for this manual has been compiled from various authorities in Canada and specialists in the United Kingdom. Minor variations from the application principles may occur between regional speciaists but in no instance should these compromise the integrity of the roof or walls provided by the details in this manual.
