Cedar Valley shingle siding panels are the perfect choice for a natural siding product with beauty and durability. The 8 foot panels are made from the highest grades of Western Red Cedar and install up to six times faster than individually applied shingles. More and more the builder and architects first choice, there are a panel full of reasons to choose the Cedar Valley shingle siding system!
FULL COVERAGE BACKER The one-piece CDX plywood backer is easier to handle, eliminates the problem of courses breaking apart and the smooth back surface makes marking and sawing quicker and more accurate.
FASTER APPLICATION No matter which exposure or pattern you choose, 4-inch, 5-inch or 7-inch, regular or Decorator shingles, the concealed nailing provides a seamless appearance and handcrafted look.
ADDED MOISTURE PROTECTION An Elk Versashield fiberglass mat laminate is an integral part of a totally waterproof yet breathable siding system. Interleaved under each shingle course, it prevents moisture from reaching the backer whether through damage, splits or other causes.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The panels have an evaluation report (ER) from ICC-ES as your assurance they meet national standards of quality, and applicable building codes including the Florida Building code (FL#7993) and the Texas Department of Insurance (#EC-53).
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY 4-inch, 5-inch. or 7-inch exposures in regular or Decorator shingles provide an exclusive range of options in a single-course panel.
REAL SHINGLES=REAL SHINGLE LOOK Cedar Valley makes real tapered shingles and lays them up by hand like real shingles with real overlap and real keyways, with a full 5/16" butt thickness or our new ½-inch thickbutt shingle for a bolder shadow line.
OVERLAPPING END JOINTS One of the advantages of Cedar Valley shingle panels is the overlapping end joint. The patented system covers each vertical joint with a cedar shingle which prevents water penetration. It also avoids the "panel look" of end-butted panels and eliminates caulking between full panels.
STIFF PANELS The panel backer is a full 11/32"-thick plywood sheathing. In addition to the plywood, the overlaps of shingle courses create horizontal bands of double strength lamination for a panel stiffness which helps conceal wall irregularities.
MOISTURE PROTECTION With 11/32" CDX plywood, fiberglass matte and cedar shingles combined, you have the best designed siding system to protect your investment against moisture penetration.
DOUBLE FASTENING In addition to a flexible adhesive bead, concealed staples hold shingles from both the front and back, hidden from sight and weather. The glue and staples hold the shingles firmly, yet allow them to move so the natural contraction and expansion of the cedar is not transferred to the backer.
DIRECT TO STUD APPLICATION Panels can be applied direct to studs 16" OC over a vapor barrier, reducing sheathing costs where codes allow an engineered shear option. (Cedar Valley panels do not provide shear values.)
SELF-ALIGNING FEATURE Panels need only an occasional level check once the bottom row is perfectly placed. The beveled plywood top & bottom edges allow small movement for precise adjustment to the indented scribe line on Even buttline panels.
ENERGY EFFICIENT The average thickness of panels equals 3/4" of laminated wood, one of nature's best insulators. Combined with dead air spaces created by overlapping shingles, it provides added insulation value.
INDIVIDUAL SHINGLES Laid up by hand with natural keyway separation, any damaged shingles can be replaced to retain original appearance.
TAKES STAIN OR PAINT BETTER The cross-grain sawing creates a natural shingle surface which, combined with the vertical grain cedar used, allows stain to penetrate deeper and paint to cover more evenly.
FLUSH CORNERS One of two prefabricated corner options, flush corners provide a seamless appearance. Add-on corners are also available to fit all exposures. Both use a Boston Weave construction for strength, and are manufactured to match the style, exposure and texture of the panel ordered.
