Cadillac's Roofing offers an insightful comparison between cedar shingles and cedar shakes, shedding light on the origins and distinctions of these traditional roofing materials. Derived from western red cedar, eastern white cedar, and Alaskan yellow cedar, both shingles and shakes have played a foundational role in roofing history, predating the modern asphalt shingle. The key difference lies in their manufacturing: cedar shingles are sawn for uniformity and a smooth finish, while shakes are split, often sawn, and characterized by a thicker base, offering a more rustic appearance.
Cedar shingles boast several advantages, including longevity with proper maintenance, potentially outlasting other roofing materials and offering a unique aesthetic appeal. They are eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and durable, capable of resisting high winds and hail damage without cracking. However, the initial cost, both in terms of materials and installation, is higher. Additionally, cedar shingles require more maintenance to prevent issues such as termite damage, rot, and mold, and they are more susceptible to fire than other roofing types.
