Why Choose Cedar Shingles for Your Home?
Cedar shingles are thin, tapered pieces of cedar wood, typically crafted from Western Red or Northern White Cedar, milled for a uniform and refined appearance. Unlike rugged cedar shakes, cedar shingles provide a smoother, more polished finish. Their natural oils resist moisture, pests, and decay, making them one of the most durable wood siding and roofing materials available when properly maintained.
When you choose cedar shingles from Thermo-Seal, you’re investing in:
- Timeless aesthetic appeal that enhances historic and modern homes alike
- Natural insulation that helps regulate indoor temperatures
- Weather resistance to protect your home from wind, rain, and snow
- Sustainable materials sourced from responsibly managed forests
- Versatile installation options for both roofing and siding applications
Whether you're restoring a classic home or adding character to a newer build, cedar shingles provide a warm, organic look that synthetic materials simply can’t replicate.

What Are the Disadvantages of Cedar Shingles?
While cedar shingles are known for their beauty and performance, it's important to be informed of their potential challenges. Homeowners considering cedar shingles should be aware of:
1. Maintenance Needs:
Cedar shingles require periodic cleaning, sealing, and inspections to maintain their appearance and prevent damage. Without proper care, they can weather prematurely or develop surface issues.
2. Mold, Mildew, and Pests:
Because cedar is an organic material, it can be more susceptible to mold, mildew, or insect activity—especially in damp or shaded environments. Using high-quality treatments and proper installation techniques helps mitigate these risks.
3. Fire Resistance:
Cedar shingles are naturally less fire-resistant than materials like metal or fiber cement. However, fire-retardant treatments are available and can be applied for added protection.
4. Cost and Repairs:
The upfront cost of cedar shingles is often higher than vinyl or asphalt alternatives. Additionally, individual shingle repair or replacement may require skilled labor due to the need for precise alignment and matching.
Despite these considerations, cedar shingles remain a top choice for homeowners who value premium aesthetics, natural performance, and timeless curb appeal. With Thermo-Seal's expert guidance and installation, you’ll be equipped to maximize the lifespan and beauty of your cedar shingles.
How Long Do Cedar Shingles Last?
Cedar shingles can last 30 to 50 years or more when properly installed and maintained. The longevity of cedar shingles depends on several factors, including:
- Local climate and exposure to moisture
- Quality of materials and installation
- Frequency of maintenance and treatment
- Type of cedar used (Western Red Cedar typically lasts longer)
At Thermo-Seal, we use high-grade cedar and proven installation techniques to help you get the most from your investment. With regular inspections and care, your cedar shingles can remain both structurally sound and visually striking for decades.
What Is Cedar Shingle Siding?
Cedar shingles used for siding are precision-milled wooden tiles that are evenly tapered for a flat, uniform finish. This differs from cedar shakes, which are hand-split and have a more rustic, uneven surface. Cedar shingle siding offers a crisp and classic look that suits everything from Cape Cod-style homes to modern coastal designs.
Cedar’s natural insulating properties make it not just beautiful but also energy-efficient, helping to stabilize indoor temperatures while reducing your reliance on HVAC systems. It’s an ideal option for homeowners looking to combine aesthetic richness with long-term performance.

Cedar Shingles FAQs
1. Are cedar shingles better than vinyl siding?
Cedar shingles offer a more natural and timeless appearance than vinyl, and they can also insulate your home more effectively. While vinyl is lower maintenance, cedar provides unmatched aesthetic value, especially for historic or architecturally significant homes. If you're looking for character and curb appeal, cedar shingles are a premium upgrade.
2. Can cedar shingles be painted or stained?
Yes, cedar shingles can be either painted or stained, allowing you to customize the look of your home. Staining helps preserve the natural wood grain, while painting offers bold color choices. Thermo-Seal can advise you on the best finish to match your home’s style and ensure longevity.
3. How do I maintain cedar shingles?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning with a mild detergent, inspecting for mold or pests, and resealing or staining every few years depending on your climate. With Thermo-Seal’s expert installation and guidance, maintaining your cedar shingles becomes much simpler and more effective.
4. Can cedar shingles withstand extreme weather?
Cedar is a strong and resilient material, particularly when installed properly and treated with protective finishes. It resists cracking in freeze-thaw cycles and holds up well against wind and rain. However, in areas prone to wildfires, additional treatments may be necessary for fire resistance.
5. Do cedar shingles increase home value?
Absolutely. Cedar shingles add a premium, high-end look that significantly boosts curb appeal. Their durability and insulation benefits also appeal to potential buyers, making your home more attractive on the market and increasing its resale value.
