What are shake and shingle sidings?

Shake and shingle sidings are the decorative products that you use to adorn your home’s exterior. They can be used over the entire home or in sections to create a truly engaging design. The shake and shingle siding stand out since they have the rugged look of cedar. This siding is available in a range of colors, textures, and styles such as sawmill shingles, straight edge shingles, and the rough-split shakes.

Styles of Shake and Shingle

As opposed to the other types of siding, the shake and cedar siding gives you the freedom of choice you need to make a huge difference in your home. Take advantage of the shake and shingle siding if you want to recreate the natural look of cedar on your home without breaking your budget.

Sawmill Shingles

These shingles are designed to mimic the look of wood that was cut at a sawmill. The face of sawmill shingles is smoother than other variations but does feature a subtle texture that looks like the spinning blade of a large saw has cut through the shingle.

Straight edge shingles

Straight edge shingles look the most like authentic cedar shingles. These shingles feature clean lines and just enough texture to pull off a cedar aesthetic.

Rough-split shakes

This style of shake shingles goes further than straight edge shingles and seeks to imitate the look of cedar that has been cut by hand. The face of these shingles is more pronounced with rugged and deep textures that truly draw a person’s gaze.

Combining the shake & shingle

Instead of choosing the cladding materials in a haphazard manner, it is vital to come up with an exterior design concept. Designing your façade is a great way to make a statement and enhance the architectural style.

How well the siding intersperses with the windows and doors will affect the appearance of your house. It is vital to choose one material and stick with it. If you use too many materials, you might create visual chaos that does more harm than good to your design.

However, you can also combine the shake and shingles siding to add visual interest in your facades. If you are cladding a couple of buildings, the combination of these materials will help to break the monotony.

Custom design

While installing the shake siding, it is possible to choose the design that suits your preferences. You can vary the sizes of the planks to suit the architectural style. The shake and shingles contrast well in terms of color and texture, giving your home a unique appearance. The sure way to give your home the lasting curb appeal and beauty is to invest in the shake and shingle siding that lasts a lifetime.
