a “Durable” species in the United Kingdom
and because of this durability it is widely favoured
by architects and engineers seeking an aesthetically
pleasing, light weight alternative to traditional roof
and wall tiles. For over a century Western Red Cedar
Shakes and Shingles have proven to be a superior
material for roof and wall cladding which is durable,
warm and resisitant to extremes of wind and weather.
In an environmentally conscious world they are clearly
the Natural Choice!
Material for this manual has been compiled from
various authorities in Canada and specialists in the
United Kingdom. Minor variations from the application
principles may occur between regional speciaists but in
no instance should these compromise the integrity of
the roof or walls provided by the details in this manual.
