Fire Treated Medium Split & Resawn Shakes
Cut in the same manner, the Medium Split and Resawn Shake is just not cut as thick or as heavy as the Heavy. Also known as a Medium Resaw, it gives the roof a very textured appearance.
This shake is 1/2" thick at the butt and is cut in two lengths- 18" and 24". On a 4/12 or steeper pitched roof, it is applied at 7 1/2" for a 18" shake and 10" for a 24" shake.
Fire Treated
#1 Cedar Shingle
A shingle, thinner than a shake, is cut tapered and smooth swn on both faces for a very neat, tailored appearance. It is cut in a choice of three lengths:
16" called FiveX. The thickness at the butt end is 5/2" (5 butts stacked on top of each other total 2" thick)18" called Perfections. The thickness is 5/2 1/4"
24" called Royals. The thickness is 4/2"
On a 4/12 and steeper pitched roof, a #1 shingle is applied at 5" exposure for 16"; 5 1/2" for 18" and 7 1/2" for 24".
#1 shingles are used for both roofing and sidewalls
#2 Cedar Shingle
A #2 shingle is cut in the same lengths and thickness as a #1 shingle. The face must be 10" clear on the 16" FiveX; 11" clear on the 18" Perfections; and 16" clear on the 24" Royals. Flat grain and limited sapwood are allowed. Flatgrain can easily be detected by the grain designes on the face of the shingle. Limited knots and defects are allowed above the clear portion.
On a 4/12 or steeper pitched roof, #2 shingles are applied at 4" for 16"; 4 1/2" for 18"; and 6 1/2" for 24".
Most oftem are used for reroofing, walls and as a starter course.
Both faces are sawn; like that of a shingle, but is cut thicker. This shake has a naturally tailored lood of a shingle but is complimented by the sharp shadow line of a shake coaused by the thicker butt. It is cut from clear heartwood, with no defects.
This shake is 5/8" or 3/4" thick at the butt and is cut in two lengths - 18" and 24". On a 4/12 or steeper pitched roof, it is applied at 7 1/2" for a 18" shake and 10" for a 24" shake

Heavy Split & Resawn Shake
A split and resawn shake is sawn on the back side and the face is split with the natural grain of the wood giving the shake a highly textured surface on the exposed face. Also known as a Heavy Resaw, it is thicker and heavier than any other shake, giving the roof a very rugged or rustic appearance
This shake is 3/4" thick at the butt and is cut in two lengths - 18" and 24". On a 4/12 or steeper pitched roof, it is applied at 7 1/2" for a 18" shake and 10" for a 24" shake.
