Handsplit Shakes

• Available in 18 or 24 inch lengths.
• The exposure to the weather varies with each length or desired architectural appearance.
• Shakes can offer a natural, rustic charm.
• Waldun shakes are graded in compliance to UBC 15-3 and CSA 97 standards.
• All shakes with a #1 label are guaranteed to contain 80% edgegrain in every bundle.

Tapersawn Shakes

Tapersawn shakes are sawn on both sides.

• Just like handsplit and resawn shakes they are available in a #1 grade which allows a minimum of 80% edgegrain and maximum of 20% flatgrain or a #1 premium grade which must be 100% edgegrain.
• Available in 18 or 24 inch lengths and thicknesses from 5/8 inch to 1 1/8 inch.
• The exposure to the weather varies with each length or desired architectural appearance.
• Tapersawn shakes can offer a thicker shadow line than a shingle, while still enhancing a tailored, smooth style.
• When producing tapersawn shakes it is easy to hide defects such as knot shadows and flatgrain. Unfortunately some manufacturers allow these types of defects.

Shingles

Cedar shingles have a reduced exposure to obtain a 3-ply roof system.

• These top-grade shingles are 100% heartwood, 100% clear and 100% edge grain.
• Available in 16, 18 or 24 inch lengths. The exposure to the weather varies with each length.
• Shingles offer a smooth, tailored look.
• All butt ends of shingles at Waldun are cut with a circular cut-off saw. Waldun also offers a shingle that is re-butted. This (A-butt) shingle is so smooth you can clearly see every growth ring at the butt end of the piece.
• All shingles produced by Waldun have an even thickness and we pride ourselves on our clean sawn faces.
