Yes - it can be confusing. What is the difference between a
shingle and shake?
In short - shingles are sawn and shakes are split, but its not really that easy.
Western Red Cedar Certigrade® Shingles are:
- tapered wood tiles, sawn on all six faces
- uniform thickness and appearance
- random width, except for fancy butts and custom orders
- packaged 4 bundles per square (100 sq.ft.)
- based on a 3 layer roof application with no felt paper
interlay
- manufactured into remanufactured sidewall shingles
Western Red Cedar Certi-Split® Shakes are:
- tapered wood tiles, with at least one natural split face
- more irregular and rustic in thickness and appearance
- random widths
- packaged 5 bundles per square (100 sq.ft.)
- based on a 2 layer roof application with a felt paper
interlay between rows
Western Red Cedar Certi-Sawn Shakes are:
- a hybrid between a shingle and a split shake
- made in a similar fashion as sawn shingles
- tapered wood tiles, sawn on all six faces
- uniform in thickness and appearance
- thicker than a shingle
- random widths
- packaged 5 bundles per square (100 sq.ft.)
- based on a 2 layer roof application with a felt paper
interlay between rows
