Once widely used for roofing, cedar shingles have become very popular for exterior siding. LS Cedar carries custom band-sawn #1 shingles, which are specially manufactured for us at a mill on the Washington coast. These shingles are carefully inspected and graded for appearance, assuring they are the finest available. Special care is taken in end-trimming, so they have nice crisp shadow lines when installed.
CEDAR SHINGLES
Available grades for 16” (5” exposure) cedar shingles:
#1 – 100% clear, 100% edgegrain
#2 – 100% clear, mixed grain
#3 – Mixed grain, defects allowed above 5” exposure
Cedar shingles are sold in 100 square foot units called squares. Each square consists of 4 bundles.

CEDAR SHAKES
Cedar shakes come in two main categories and are used almost exclusively for roofing.
- ½” (mediums)
- ¾” (heavies)
Shakes come five bundles to a square.
