Western Red Cedar Fancy Cut Shingles (Round)

Description

Product Overview

Western Red Cedar Fancy Cut Shingles are engineered to bring the timeless beauty of natural cedar to modern roofing applications. Each shingle is precision‑cut into a round 5‑inch profile, offering a distinctive look that sets a roof apart from conventional flat or rectangular options. The product arrives in a sturdy box containing 96 individual pieces, each weighing approximately 30 pounds in total, which translates to roughly 25 square feet of coverage per bundle when installed with a 7‑1/2″ exposure. The cedar is sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that the material not only looks authentic but also meets environmental standards. With a cutting diameter of 5 inches, the shingles provide a uniform appearance while allowing for easy handling and placement. The natural oils in Western Red Cedar give the shingles inherent resistance to rot, insects, and weathering, extending the lifespan of the roof and reducing maintenance costs over time.

Usage

These shingles are ideal for a variety of residential and light commercial roofing projects where aesthetic appeal and durability are paramount. Homeowners looking to enhance curb appeal, architects designing rustic‑style structures, and contractors seeking a reliable, easy‑to‑install material will find this product a perfect fit. The round shape and natural cedar finish complement traditional, craftsman, and contemporary designs alike. Installation is straightforward: the shingles can be laid over a standard roof deck, secured with common roofing nails, and integrated with existing roofing systems without the need for specialized tools. Because each shingle is pre‑cut to a consistent size, installers can achieve a uniform pattern quickly, reducing labor time and minimizing waste. The product’s 7‑1/2″ exposure ensures proper ventilation, helping to prevent moisture buildup and prolonging the roof’s integrity. Whether used on a new construction or as a retrofit on an existing roof, these shingles provide a seamless blend of form and function.
