Western Red Cedar 18″ Resquared & Rebutted Primed Sanded Sidewall Shingles 1/2 Square cartons

Description

Product Overview

Pacific Coast presents a premium roofing solution built from Western Red Cedar, a material celebrated for its natural durability, resistance to rot, and timeless aesthetic. Each shingle measures 18 inches in length, is resquared and rebutted, and arrives primed and sanded, eliminating the need for additional preparation before installation. The natural red hue of the cedar is preserved through a careful finishing process that highlights the wood grain while providing a protective layer against moisture and UV exposure. With a total of 375 pieces per carton, the package delivers approximately 50 square feet of coverage when installed with a 14-inch exposure, or 25 square feet at a 7-inch exposure, giving contractors flexibility in layout planning. The product dimensions of each shingle are 20 x 8 x 18 inches, and the entire carton weighs 30 pounds, making handling straightforward for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. The sidewall design ensures a tight interlock, reducing the chance of wind uplift and water infiltration, while the resquared edges create a clean, uniform appearance that enhances curb appeal. This shingle is engineered for residential roofing applications, suitable for new construction, roof replacements, and restoration projects where a natural wood look is desired without compromising on performance.

Usage

These cedar sidewall shingles excel in a variety of climatic conditions, from humid coastal regions to drier inland environments. Their natural resistance to decay makes them an excellent choice for homes located in areas with high precipitation or occasional snow load. Installers can apply the shingles over a traditional roofing underlayment, using standard roofing nails or fasteners, and the primed surface allows for easy adhesion of roofing sealants if additional waterproofing is required. The shingles are compatible with a range of roofing styles, including gable, hip, and mansard roofs, and they can be paired with metal flashing to ensure a seamless transition around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes. Because the shingles are pre‑sanded, they fit smoothly against each other, reducing the need for on‑site sanding and minimizing dust generation. Homeowners seeking a sustainable building material will appreciate that Western Red Cedar is a renewable resource, and the product’s natural composition contributes to improved indoor air quality by avoiding synthetic chemicals often found in alternative roofing materials. Whether used on a single‑family residence, a cottage, or a small commercial building, the shingles provide a classic, rustic look that ages gracefully, developing a distinguished patina over time.

FAQ

What is the recommended exposure for these shingles?

The shingles are designed for both 14‑inch and 7‑inch exposure installations. Using a 14‑inch exposure yields approximately 50 square feet of coverage per carton, while a 7‑inch exposure provides about 25 square feet per carton.

Are the shingles suitable for high‑wind regions?

Yes. The resquared and rebutted design creates a secure interlock that helps the roof withstand strong wind forces, making the product appropriate for areas with high wind speeds.

Do I need to apply additional sealant after installation?

The shingles come primed, which offers a basic level of water resistance. For added protection, especially in areas with heavy rain or snow, applying a compatible roofing sealant or underlayment is recommended.

Can these shingles be painted or stained?

While the natural red finish is intended to be left as‑is for its authentic look, the shingles can be stained or painted with a wood‑compatible product if a different color or finish is desired. Ensure the coating is fully cured before installation.

What warranty does Pacific Coast provide?

Pacific Coast offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and material failures for a specified period. Detailed warranty terms are included with the product packaging and can also be accessed on the company’s website.
