Use And Care Manual

Maximum character.

Minimum care.

A home sided with natural cedar shingles has a character all its own.

But, this character comes with a price for upkeep. Continual expenditures

of time and money will be necessary as wood ages and weathers.

With Cedar Impressions Individual 5" Sawmill Shingles, maximum character

is maintained with minimum care.

Cedar Impressions Individual

Shingles retain consistent color

and resist mold and mildew.

Lower Maintenance

Cedar Impressions stays beautiful and consistent in color on all sides of the home and without

continual maintenance. Real cedar shingles must be stained or bleached to prevent discoloration.

These treatments will need to be repeated over time.

REAL CEDAR SHINGLES WEATHER

A home’s exterior walls will be aected by weather

patterns coming from the north, south, east or west.

This can cause cedar shingles to weather inconsistently

from one side of a home to another.

North Wall

North-facing walls tend to

weather more slowly and

uniformly, but can be more

prone to mold and mildew

due to lower exposure to sun.

South Wall

Exposure to sunlight can

cause cedar on south-facing

walls to rapidly bleach out

and fade.

West Wall

Cedar-sided walls with a western

exposure are often impacted

by afternoon sunlight and

wind-driven moisture, causing

inconsistent weathering.

East Wall

East-facing walls in some areas can

be aected by strong storms, salt

water and morning sun, resulting in

uneven weathering patterns.
