Our family produces quality
northern white cedar shingles from cedar trees grown here in
northern Maine. At our mill in Windsor we take the cedar trees
through every stage of the sawing process. First the trees are
debarked outside. We then take these trees into the mill where
they are cut to length, sawed, graded, re-squared and re-butted.
The quality of our product is very important to each of us here at
Longfellow’s Cedar Shingles. As the shingles pass though each set
of hands, they are carefully checked for quality. This vigilance
helps to insure the consistent value of our product.
Information and Benefits Regarding Cedar
Shingles
Cedar is an ideal choice for roofing as well
as interior and exterior wall covering. There are many reasons why
it is the second oldest siding known to man. Cedar offers a high
degree of insulation. This serves to minimize heat loss in the
winter months as well as lower the cooling costs in the summer.
Cedar is also a highly effective sound barrier. It is long lasting
and practically maintenance free. Of all the different species of
wood available for roofing or siding applications, White Cedar is
among the most durable. The natural oils found in the wood make it
insect and fungus resistant.
When applied with 5” to the weather, 16" cedar
shingles will afford three layers of overlapping wood to prevent
even the most stubborn winds and weather from penetrating your
home. Cedar siding and roofing has been applied to all types of
projects in all types of climates. The reputation and durability
of this product cannot be denied. Cedar Shingles offer durability,
dependability, as well as a unique beauty that has graced the
homes of many for centuries.
