Real wooden shakes are made from split, straight-grained cedar. It is one of the oldest roofing materials and can give a traditional home an authenticity impossible to achieve any other way.
Wood shakes have a slightly thicker forward edge that helps create natural variations. The natural irregularities of each shake give the roof unique patterns and contours that add to the rough-hewn charm of the entire roof.
Wood shingles are shakes that have been finished on both sides and squared for uniformity and taper. Each shingle has an identical thickness and, as a result, lie flatter. Plus they are easier to install, especially around chimneys and skylights.
