Cedar Roof Cladding

Cedar Shingles

For a truly unique and bespoke roofing or cladding solution throughout Yorkshire, you must consider Cedar roof cladding. We regularly use cedar shingles as a roofing finish. We are extremely specific when choosing the quality of our shingles, as many grades are available. We only use the highest grade, namely Certigrade No. 1 grade (Blue Label) Western Red Cedar. These are 100% Edge Grain, 100% Heartwood and 100% Clear (no knots). Using only this grade of shingles allows us to minimise waste and, when roof pitch allows, fit the shingles at their maximum exposure.

Cedar shingles fade to a natural sun-bleached grey colour within 12 months, after which their colour remains stable. We only use stainless steel fixings. This is critical as using ferrous fixings damages and stains the Cedar, reducing its waterproof qualities. As an extra measure, we use a high-quality, breathable roofing membrane before fitting the shingles.
