Improving wood shakes

The classic natural looking cedar shakes are amazingly beautiful on homes, especially with a transparent stain. So why don’t more homes have them installed? Simple! Maintenance and woodpeckers.

A homeowner will be paying for stain every 5 years and if they are located in a natural setting they will be fighting the woodpeckers to keep them from boring into the siding to locate their favorite insect snack.

So how can Cedar Shakes still be used and eliminate the maintenance and woodpeckers? Again, simple. Rediscover polymer shakes in a new formulation called Cedar Impressions Naturals. They are stunning! Their texture, transparent stain look and authenticity cannot be rivaled even among wood products. The good news is that everyone will think you have installed natural cedar shakes when you install Certainteed’s Naturals. The only ones who won’t be fooled are the woodpeckers.

Be sure to stop by one of our locations in August to see if you can tell the difference between cedar shakes and the new Naturals, the newest Certainteed product. In the meantime come and see the other shake products that have made cedar shakes obsolete. We have them in 63 different colors and blends. There is a style to fit every house
