Western Red Shingles
Western Red Shingles offer timeless natural warmth and beauty to any home. These highly durable shingles are environmentally friendly, exceptional insulators and have a proven track record for high performance. In addition, the tannins within the wood are natural preservatives that resist moisture, decay and insect damage. Available in a wide variety of styles, Western Red Shingles show the real beauty of cedar, adding prestige and distinction to any home.

Cedar Shingle Panels
We feature the Cedar Valley Shingle Panel system. Offering up to 50-year warranties when prefinished, these shingle panels are made with QAI Gold Standard Premium grade shingles on an easy to install, 8-foot long panel. These panels meet the highest standards of the International Code Council, Florida Building Code and the Texas Department of Insurance.
Standard panels are 1-course and available in the following styles:
Even-Butt Panel
These panels are eight-feet long and available in 7 1/8”, 5 1/3” and 4 ¼” exposures.
Staggered-Butt Panel
These panels are eight-feet long and available in 7 1/8”, 5 1/3” and 4 ¼” exposures.
Open Keyway Panel
These panels are eight-feet long and offered in even or staggered-butt panels in 7 1/8”, 5 1/3” and 4 ¼” exposures. These shingles are spaced to leave a minimal gap, accentuating the common shingle look.
Thick-butt Panel
These panels are eight-feet long and butt ends are ½” thick for a more durable shingle and deeper shadow line. Thick-Butt panels come in 7 1/8” and 5.33” exposures. Thick-Butt panels are prefinished with a primer paint combination that carries a 50-year warranty!
Corners
Premade corner accessories offer a Boston Weave design look without the tedious work. Choose from flush, wide or flared corner sets. Premade column wrap is also available.
Handy Packs
Shingle panel Handy Packs are a great choice for the quick remodel project. Packs include starter strip, 10 panels that cover 25 square feet (7 ½” exposure), instruction, and nails. Carolina Colortones will finish the panels and nails. Both even and staggered-butt panels are available. Fancy cut shingles (fish scale, hexagon, octagon) are also available!
Warranties
Cedar Valley offers a standard 15-year warranty, but the prefinishing aspect is key. Panels that are finished with semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid stains include a 25-year warranty. Using a primer and latex paint combination on standard panels yields a 35-year warranty. Thick-Butt Panels with the same combination include a 50-year warranty.

Eastern White Shingles
Premium Grade Eastern White Cedar
These shingles are 100% heartwood with no defects on any surface. Much lighter in color than western red cedar, these premiums look best with semi-solid and solid stains. These shingles are rebutted and resquared (R&R) with a sanded face.
Coverage: 1 box = 25 square feet at 5” exposure (maximum)
Select Grade Eastern White Cedar
These shingles have some heartwood and some defects (knots) but not in the exposed face. Solid stains, primers and paint are recommended for this grade. These shingles are rebutted and resquared (R&R) with a sanded face.
Coverage: 1 box = 25 square feet at 5” exposure (maximum).
Finishing Recommendations for Eastern White Cedar
Eastern white cedar, while not as durable as western red, is a fine product for exterior use. For maximum longevity for eastern white cedar shingles use a higher solid finish (semi-solid stains, solid stains or paints) that better protects the shingle from cupping and splitting. We typically recommend an oil-based finish for better penetration of the sanded face (see oil vs. water in the Colors section).
Warranties on Eastern White Cedar
5-15 year warranties are available for particular finishes on eastern white cedar shingles.
