Features & Benefits
#1 Grade Shingles
- No grades to choose from, always the very best grade
- Kiln-dried to proper moisture content for superior coating adhesion
- 100% clear, never any knots or defects, easier to work with
- 100% heartwood provides a longer-lasting shingle
- 100% edge grain ensures smoother, more consistent surfaces and superior coating adhesion versus shingles cut with flat grain
- 100% edge grain creates better dimensional stability, thereby enhancing the performance of the coatings applied
Thicker and Wider Shingles
- .45” thick butts combined with 100% edge grain provide a heavier shadow line and ensure shingles lay flatter on the wall
- Minimize the potential for cupping, curling, and lifting
- Shingles vary in width from 3” to 14” providing wider average widths and fewer total fasteners used on the project
More Exposure Options
- Better exterior design flexibility with 18” length, thicker butt shingles allows for up to a maximum of 7” exposures on the wall
