Certainteed Cedar Impressions

Nothing matches real cedar’s New England character—rich texture that can be stained or allowed to weather to a silvery gray. If you want the cedar look with less upkeep, CertainTeed® Cedar Impressions® polymer shakes replicate hand-split detail while eliminating frequent repainting and rot concerns.

Natural Cedar Shingles

Natural cedar shingles deliver the quintessential New England look with real wood texture, warm shadow lines, and a coastal patina that only improves with time. Cedar’s natural oils make it inherently resistant to rot and insects, while its light weight and breathability help manage moisture and reduce surface cracking. Individual shingles are easy to spot-repair, keeping lifetime maintenance straightforward. White cedar (Eastern) is the regional classic—light in color, tight-grained, and it weathers quickly to a soft, even silver-gray (perfect for Cape and coastal homes). Red cedar (Western) starts richer in tone with deeper grain, offers exceptional dimensional stability and decay resistance, and holds semi-transparent stains beautifully when you want lasting color rather than a full gray weathering.
