Product Description

Coverage = 2.32m2 per pack

Eastern White Cedar has a fine even grain, low density and light weight making it
easy to work. The wood has a characteristic pleasing spicy aroma. Cedar shingles
are used on domestic dwellings and public buildings. They are ideal for chalets,
sheds, summerhouses, animal
shelters and mobile homes as well as conventional
dwellings.
Grading
Eastern White Cedar Shingles are produced in three grades, A, B & C.
A (Blue Label) is knot free, paler in shade and homogeneous. B (Red Label) is
similar to A but may contain knots in the top unexposed area of the shingle. C
(Black Label) may contain visible sound knots, is a darker shade and more varied
in appearance. We only offer A Grade shingles treated or untreated
as A is the only grade suitable for pitched roofing. B and C are only suitable for
vertical applications.
Durability
Untreated shingles will have an in-service life of 25-30 years. Paint or stain will
add 10 to 15% to service life but must be re-applied every 5-7 years. Factory applied ACQ treatment can add 25-30 years.
