Manufacturer Spotlight: Shakertown

For over 50 years, Shakertown has been beautifying and protecting homes across North America. That’s a claim few other siding materials can make.

With a track record that extends a half a century, their history speaks for itself. Made with 100% clear vertical grain heartwood cedar, you’d be hard-pressed to find another product that compares to the rich appearance and performance of the cedar shingle panels.

Company roots started in 1950 in Shaker Heights, Ohio by the Barker Family. As the business expanded, their focus was on ease of installation. This goal led to the invention of the shingle panel system. Today, their Craftsman Shingle Panel can be installed 10x faster than individual shingles and still use 100% vertical grain cedar fully laminated to exterior grade backer in plywood presses.

In addition to the shingle panel system, Shakertown introduced the Dolly Varden T&G product in 2015. This engineered cedar T&G has a clear, 100% vertical grain cedar face that is 1/8″ thick. The tongue is twice as strong as solid cedar, so there is no splitting when pneumatically nailing. As innovation continues, Shakertown continues to be on the forefront.
