shake siding
Squint… and you’re in another era, transported in time by the archetype of American shake designs. The handcrafted look of individually fitted cedar shakes comes from another time, but American Original Cedar Shake Siding is anything but.
The most coveted of shake styles comes in the most advanced siding technology in the industry:
- stronger, longer single-course panels install easier, without repeat panels like ordinary double panels
- polypropylene composite polymer material lasts longer with less maintenance
- UV inhibitors protect against sunlight to keep colors truer longer
Blend a perfect panorama of color and texture, fashioning your own distinctive appearance by mixing and matching any or all of our 3 shake styles, or combining with fiber cement, stone, brick or conventional vinyl siding for the ultimate personalized touch.
American Original’s exclusive injection-molding technology creates a natural wood appearance with the details of deep, shadow-catching grain; randomized patterns with nature-made textures; and complex, variegated weathering effects. 16 colors celebrate the great American landscape and its flora and fauna:
