Wood shingles are thin, tapered pieces of wood used primarily for roofing and siding, prized for their natural beauty and traditional charm. They're precision-cut from rot-resistant timber—most commonly cedar, redwood, or pine—and are designed to overlap in rows, creating a durable, water-shedding surface.
Key Characteristics of Wood Shingles
Uniform Shape: Unlike wood shakes (which are hand-split and more rustic), shingles are machine-sawn for a smooth, consistent finish.
Tapered Design: Each shingle is thicker at the butt end and thinner at the top, allowing water to run off efficiently.
Size Range: Typically 16–24 inches long, 4–14 inches wide, and ⅜–¾ inches thick.
Installation: Laid in overlapping rows, often with corrosion-resistant fasteners to prevent rust and staining.
Maintenance Tips
Treatment: Periodic sealing or staining helps protect against moisture and UV damage.
Ventilation: Proper airflow beneath shingles prevents cupping and decay.
Fire Safety: In some regions, fire-retardant treatments are required due to wood's combustibility.
Wood shingles are a timeless choice for those who value craftsmanship, sustainability, and architectural authenticity.
