Stave Lake brand Western Red Cedar sidewall shingles are known in the industry as the best and most consistent available. They are crafted with care and quality and packaged in cardboard cartons for protection.

Pre-finishing in a controlled environment ensures a higher quality finish than would be achieved by applying on site and also reduces the cost.

Advantages of using prefinished shingles over on-site finishing

• Pre-finished with a high quality clear penetrating oil that enhances the natural colour tones and grain patterns of Western Red Cedar
• Coating covers front, back, and all edges of the shingle to seal out moisture and prevent cupping.
• Pre-finished shingles are coated on the areas of the shingle that overlap when they are installed, providing a more complete seal against moisture.
• Pre-finishing provides amore uniform coverage and eliminates drips, sags and lap marks.
• Factory finishing provides a controlled environment ensuring ideal conditions for finish application and curing. Direct sun, rain, and temperature can severely degrade the quality of finishes applied on site.
• Pre-finished Western Red Cedar shingles can be installed at any time of the year and in any weather.

Western Red Cedar is the ultimate green building material. It is legally, responsibly and sustainably harvested in the publicliy managed forests of British Columbia, Canada. Less than 1% of standing timber is harvested each year.

For each tree harvested, three are replanted to ensure the forests will exist in perpetuity. Western Red Cedar has a low impact on the environment throughout its life cycle. It requires significantly less energy to produce than man-made alternatives and is bio-degradable.
