Bring your home exterior design ideas to life with the charming effect of shake, scallop and shingle siding. These Architectural Classics can add artistic detail, texture and dimension as a whole-home exterior or decorative accent. Learn the difference among these three distinct specialty siding options to help achieve a custom look.
1. Shake Siding
Enjoy the realistic, rich grain look of hand-split cedar with a rough-sawn texture. Split along the grain, shakes are deeply textured, giving the appearance of cedar that has naturally weathered over the years. Staggered shakes replicate the craftsmanship of early settlers in the Eastern and Northern United States who split cedar into planks to help protect their homes from the weather.
2. Scallop Siding
Transform your home exterior with pristine rows of rounded curves that add character and charm. The shadow line of Architectural Scallops adds drama and visual dimension. This specialty siding is best suited for gables, dormer windows and other accent areas.
3. Shingle Siding
The Architectural Perfection Shingle is a modern take on the classic cedar shingle homes that lined the cobblestone streets of Boston in the 1800s. Shingle siding combines clean lines with the deep texture of shakes. The naturally-textured surface and edge of the Perfection Shingle will never need to be painted or stained and will never warp or split.
