The beauty of a cedar shingle isn’t apparent until it’s firmly fastened to the wall among hundreds of other shingles. No two shingles look quite the same – because they aren’t. Because Mother Nature doesn’t allow shingles to look alike, neither does NuCedar. NuCedar Shingles are milled, not molded, in a modern day sawmill and have the same unique character and warm texture as wood. Our brushing patterns produce different color and shading appearance on each shingle, allowing installers to create a quilt-like effect on the exterior of a home. NuCedar Shingles offer an extended level of durability and low maintenance that cedar shingles just cannot match.
NuCedar’s Shingles are available in only 1 texture; RoughSawn™ surface texture.
13″ Shingle Lengths are for 5″ Exposure.
18″ Shingle Lengths are for 7″ Exposure.
| Long-Lasting |

Over time, painted cedar shingles are generally affected by moisture and insect problems that require ongoing repair, repainting or frequent replacement.
A time-tested advantage of NuCedar Shingles is that they are impervious to water and insects and therefore last for generations.
And don’t forget the cooling properties and energy savings potential associated with our solar-reflective finish. This can be particularly helpful along the beachfront or on mountain ridges where the suns UV rays can be especially damaging when absorbed by standard cladding materials.

NuCedar Shingles accurately capture the natural beauty and charm of precisely tapered, resquared and rebutted red cedar shingles.

| NuCedar Shingles Sizes & Texture |
|---|
Available in 13″ and 18″ Lengths.
NuCedar Shingles are available in one texture (Roughsawn™) and accommodate 5” and 7” exposures*.
Material is sold by the box. Each box is ¼ of a square (25sqft).
* Installing at 5-3/4” to 6-1/2” exposure may cause the butt end of the shingles to raise 3/8″ due to the nailing pattern. If you plan to install at these exposures, we recommend using adhesive and stainless brad nails 1” in and 1” up from each corner on the affected shingles
