Cedar R&R Sidewall Shingles
Also known as R&R Shingles, Sidewall Shingles have the same specifications as #1 and #2 Grade Roofing Shingles – which are then machine re-trimmed for parallel edges and with butts sawn at right angles for straight lines and uniform appearance.
Rebutted & Rejointed (R&R) Cedar Sidewall Shingles are also available with a smooth sanded face, with the length of the sanded face at a length greater than the maximum exposure (generally 7.5″).
As a supplier, we pride ourselves on offering the absolute best quality building materials available and the quality of Stave Lake Cedar Sidewall Shingles, naturally appeal to our customers.

Stave Lake Cedar Mills has developed a primer exclusively for our own production. This proprietary oil primer far exceeds anything else available in the primed, boxed market. It is solid oil with low VOCs that covers the shingle to the point that you can’t see the grain. We choose not to use the diluted primers that some of the industry is applying. These primers are less expensive, but we feel strongly that a great shingle topped with a superior primer is essential in providing a base for a long lasting top coat.
STAIN / PAINT OPTIONS
1 coat-semi-transparent, semi-solid or solid oil
2 coat-1 base coat oil, 1 top coat latex (18-year warranty)
3 coat-1 base coat oil, 2 top coat latex (25-year warranty)
Any Stave Lake shingle can be stained or painted to match any custom colour.
Stave Lake’s process of selecting a Stave Lake colour makes it very easy for the contractor and the homeowner. We guarantee that your project will not only receive Stave Lake quality but also receive a shingle that is completely coated with the finest quality paint or stain. We simply ask the customer for the cedar shingle to be painted and forwarded to our office. We then send it to our paint lab for an exact match. Finally, we return the shingle back to the customer with the matched coloured shingle for approval.
SOME NOTES REGARDING CEDAR COLOURING
Please note that Western red Cedar varies in colour. It can be a light straw yellow colour to a dark brown. Semi-transparent colours will still show the grain through the stain but may vary slightly because of the colour of the cedar shingle behind the coating. Most agree, that the slight variation in tone, adds a tremendous amount of beauty and contrast to any home or structure. If you are looking for more of a solid colour we highly recommend using Stave Lake’s two or three coat solid finished products.
