Western Red Cedar Shingles

Western Red Cedar roof shingles, shakes and hip & ridge roof tiles have been used for hundreds of years and have proven their durability in all kinds of climates. They can be used to create individual buildings, whether traditional or modern, and their rich, warm colour and texture blend beautifully in any natural environment. The natural effects of aging and weathering give shingles and shakes, in time, an attractive silvery grey colour.

Western Red Cedar is renowned for its insulation qualities, dimensional stability and natural resistance to the elements, making it ideal as a natural roofing solution. It contains a natural preservative which makes the wood extremely durable in its natural state.

Cedar shake, shingle and ridge tile production, which is virtually pollution free, is a secondary operation utilising waste residuals from British Columbia's main logging and sawmilling industry, providing a truly sustainable and environmentally friendly product.

Silva Timber also offer fire retardant roof tiles for added security and FSC shingles for sustainable cedar roofing.
