New prefinished cellular PVC shingles from NuCedar are practically indistinguishable from real cedar shingles.
Produced in a modern saw mill (not molded), each NuCedar shingle is distinctively unique – allowing installers to replicate the quilting effect that until now could only be created with cedar shingles. Even the 4' Shingle Panels are made up of unique sets of individual shingles; allowing a more efficient installation without the appearance of noticeable repeating patterns.
In previewing these shingles with dealers, we’ve been struck by how frequently they were at first mistaken for real wood. NuCedar has achieved texture and color variation that looks completely real when installed. Aside from being as close to zero maintenance as you can get, it’s cost competitive with cedar shingles at the time of installation. And as you won’t ever have to recoat or replace it, its value only grows over time.
Like all NuCedar products, including clapboard, vertical siding, and complementary trim and mouldings, NuCedar shingles are pre-finishes in any color imaginable. All prefinishing is done in-house utilizing a solar-reflective coating from Sherwin-Williams® and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty against chipping, peeling or cracking.
