What are Cedar Shingles? 

Cedar shingles are uniformly sawn for a consistent and even thickness and provide a uniform machine-like look.  Shingles are used for both sidewalls and roofing.

What are Cedar Shakes? 

Shakes are thicker than shingles. Cedar shakes are split off while shingles are sawn smooth on both sides and cut tapered. Generally, cedar shakes are more durable and last longer than shingles because they are thicker and made from premium wood.

One of the most important functional differences between cedar shakes and cedar shingles is that shingles are milled more precisely than shakes. Cedar shakes are more irregular, and do not lay as flat (When installed on your roof). This creates gaps which can be penetrated by wind blown precipitation so professional installation is a must. It can become a little more costly than other shingles.
