Western Red Cedar Rebutted Sanded Shingles 18in by Pacific Coast

Description

Product Overview

The Western Red Cedar shingles from Pacific Coast are engineered for homeowners and professional roofers who demand a blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance. Each shingle is made from high‑grade cedar wood, naturally sanded to reveal a smooth, uniform surface and then rebutted to create a tight, interlocking sidewall that resists wind uplift. The 18‑inch length provides flexibility in layout, allowing installers to choose between a 14‑inch exposure for a broader, more dramatic look or a 7‑inch exposure for tighter, more intricate patterns. The natural red hue of the cedar deepens over time, adding character to any home while the wood’s inherent resistance to rot and insects ensures a long‑lasting roof.

Usage

These shingles are ideal for residential roofing projects ranging from new construction to roof replacement on existing homes. Their lightweight design—approximately 30 lb per bundle—makes handling and installation straightforward, reducing labor time and fatigue. The natural sanded finish pairs well with a variety of architectural styles, from rustic cabins to contemporary suburban houses. Because the cedar is naturally breathable, the shingles help regulate moisture, making them suitable for climates that experience both high humidity and dry conditions. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a seasoned contractor, the shingles provide a reliable, attractive solution for protecting your home.
