Western Red Cedar Tapersawn Shakes are sawn on both sides giving it a look similar to a sawn shingle but with a thicker appearance, This is different than Hand-split cedar shakes because hand-split shakes are only sawn on one side. Tapersawn Shakes are known for their smooth uniform look compared to the rustic look of hand-split shakes. The added thickness enables it to be applied as a shake (2 ply with paper/felt interlay) resulting in lower application costs.
All Tapersawn Shakes come in 18 and 24 lengths with a butt thickness of 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1.
