Product Questions

How are Tapersawn Shakes different from Shingles?
Cedar Shingles and Cedar Tapersawn Shakes look similar to each other, with both having a sawn face. The key difference is that the Tapersawn Shakes are cut thicker at the butt end. Tapersawns are available with a 5/8" or 7/8" butt thickness, while shingles vary from 1/4" to 1/2" average thickness depending on length. While both types are suitable for both roof and wall use, we see Shingles used most often for walls and Tapersawns used most often for roofs.
