Considered the finest panels available for residential and commercial construction, Cedar Valley Shingle Panels are handcrafted with the highest grades of Western Red Cedar. Each panel is constructed with a solid one-piece plywood backer followed by an Elk VersaShield® moisture barrier that’s waterproof and breathable. And the construction of our panels is so dependable, they’re certified to withstand winds up to 196 mph.

There are many other benefits to builders, architects and homeowners, including:
Savings - Our panels go up an average of six time faster than individual shingles, dramatically reducing installation costs.
Easy installation - Overlapping end joints don’t require caulking and blind nail patterns are available.
Reduced waste - Splitting of individual shingles is virtually eliminated. And single-course panels reduce waste in gables and other tight spaces.

Cedar Valley shingle siding panels are made of 100% kiln-dried clear vertical grain Western Red Cedar shingles . The 8-foot panels require only seven panels per square (100 sq.ft.)and go up faster and easier than any other wood or composite horizontal siding and up to four times faster than individual shingles. They require 40% less nailing than plywood and average 50% less nailing than horizontal sidings. Cedar Valley panels also save time on cuts around doors and windows and on gables.

Full Coverage Backer The one-piece plywood backer is easier to handle, eliminates the problem of courses breaking apart and the smooth back surface makes marking and sawing quicker and more accurate.
Faster Application No matter which exposure or pattern you choose, 4-inch, 5-inch or 7-inch, regular or Decorator shingles, each panel requires only 14 nails to cover 14.25 sq. ft.
Added Moisture Protection An Elk Versashield fiberglass mat laminate is an integral part of a totally waterproof and breathable siding system. Iinterleaved under each shingle course, it prevents moisture reaching the sheathing whether through damage, splits or other causes.
Quality Assurance The panels have evaluation reports (ER) from ICBO, SBCCI and BOCA as your assurance they meet the industry's standards of quality, and all applicable building codes.
Design Flexibility 4-inch, 5-inch. or 7-inch exposures in regular or Decorator shingles provide an exclusive range of options in a multi-course panel.
Real Shingles=Real Shingle Look Cedar Valley makes real tapered shingles and lays them up by hand like real shingles with real overlap and real keyways, and with a full 5/16" butt thickness for a bold shadow line.

Exclusive Interlocking End Joints One of the advantages of Cedar Valley shingle panels is the interlocking end joint. The patented feature covers each vertical joint with a cedar shingle which prevents water penetration. It also avoids the "panel look" of end-butted panels and eliminates caulking.
Stiff Panels The panel backer is a full 5/16"-thick plywood sheathing. In addition to the plywood, the overlaps of shingle courses create at least two horizontal bands of double lamination for a panel stiffness which conceals many wall irregularities.
Moisture Protection Sheathing is 5/16" exterior plywood to protect against moisture penetration from the outside or condensation from the inside.
Double Fastening In addition to a flexible adhesive bead, concealed staples hold shingles from both the front and back, hidden from sight and weather. The glue and staples hold the shingles firmly, yet allow them to move so contraction and expansion is not transferred to the backer.
Direct To Stud Application Panels can be applied direct to studs 16" OC over a vapor barrier and/or rigid foam, reducing sheathing costs where codes allow engineered shear option. (Cedar Valley panels do not provide shear values.)

Self-Aligning Feature Panels need only an occasional level check once the bottom row is perfectly placed. The bevel edge helps hold each panel in place for precise adjustment to the indented guideline on straight buttline panels.
Energy Efficient The average thickness of panels equals 3/4" of laminated wood, one of nature's best insulators. Combined with dead air spaces created by overlapping shingles, it provides added insulation.
Individual Shingles Laid up by hand with natural keyway separation, any damaged shingles can be replaced to retain original appearance.
Takes Stain Or Paint Better The cross-grain sawing creates a natural shingle surface which, combined with the vertical grain cedar used, allows stain to penetrate deeper and paint to cover evenly.
Flush Corners One of two prefabricated corner options, flush corners provide a neat appearance. Add-on corners are also available to fit all exposures. Both use a Boston Weave construction for strength, and are manufactured to match the style, exposure and texture of the panel ordered.
