What are Vinyl Cedar Shakes?

When it comes to siding options for your home, one of the most visually distinctive choices is cedar shakes. These wooden planks give any home an appealing, rustic look, and the compounds in the wood make a natural insect repellent to protect them from damage. However, cedar shakes, like any wooden siding, is still vulnerable to other forms of damage, such as rot or mold, and needs to be regularly maintained. If you want the characteristic look of cedar siding without having to do frequent maintenance, you’re in luck: we at Crown Builders offer vinyl cedar shakes that offer all of the beauty with none of the hassle.
