What Is Cedar Shake Roofing Made Of?

Cedar shakes are made from premium-grade cedar wood, typically Western Red Cedar, prized for its natural resistance to insects, rot, and moisture. The wood allows for breathability, reducing trapped heat and improving overall roof health.

Available styles include:

• Hand-split shakes — thicker, more textured, with rustic character

• Tapersawn shakes — sleeker, more uniform for refined applications
