We
cover all aspects of roofing but specialise in shingle and shakes.
We also have a proven expertise in exterior cladding.
Roofs
A roof of shakes or shingles is an investment in good looks,
good taste and longevity. Western Red Cedar shakes and shingles
have
a proud architectural tradition. They complement any building
style, beautifully and naturally. A roof of Western Red Cedar
shakes or
shingles resists high winds, heavy rains, ice, snow and sun.
Over the years, cedar weathers to an attractive silver-grey colour
while
helping to keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter.
Interiors
An accent wall of Western Red Cedar shakes and shingles is an ideal
way to create a focal point in a living room, bedroom, den or
bathroom. Grooved shingles, smooth fancybutt shingles, or richly
textured shakes offer the charm and informality that only natural
cedar can provide. And because of their soft muted colours that
range from pale gold to mellow reds and browns, they blend harmoniously
with a wide variety of contemporary furnishings and fabrics.
There is no better way to bring the pleasant, aromatic fragrance
of Western Red Cedar indoors than with feature walls of shakes
or shingles.
Walls
Architects, designers and builders appreciate Western Red Cedars
contribution to beautiful exterior walls. Many interesting patterns
and textures can be created to add visual richness and distinction.
Rugged, highly textured shakes lend themselves to the rustic
building environment, while shingles are more adaptable to the
clean lines of modern architectural styles. Shingles and shakes
also offer other advantages. They provide solid, weathertight
protection whether applied in double or triple layers. They can
be applied to exterior walls or any type of building where a
solid nailing base can be provided. In new wall construction
they may be applied over spaced or solid sheathing. When renovating
old buildings they can be nailed directly to old wood siding
or to wood nailing strips or battens if walls or brick, stucco
or other non-wood materials.
