Shake siding is sometimes also called Shingle siding or Shake shingle siding. It is a classic siding style that has been quite popular for a while. Most often it is associated with wood siding, like cedar. Cedar is the traditional shake siding material but with new developments in siding this style is now also available made from other materials, like James Hardie fiber cement.
Shake siding can be installed in different ways to create unique looks. When the shingles are installed staggered it creates a more rustic look. This works great on Victorian-style houses, Colorado mountain cottages or older urban houses.
For a cleaner look the shake shingles can be installed straight. The linear or “perfect” shingles are neatly installed in rows and create a wonderful design element. Both shingle styles are a great way to shake up the style of your siding and give you wonderful design options.
This siding style is very versatile and can be installed on a wide variety of houses. It can either be installed on the entire house or just on parts of it as an accent. One common and popular accent is to have shake siding shingles installed in roof gables. Any special element of your home can look great with this accent.
Shake siding is a great option to make architectural features on your home stand out and highlight elements. It can also easily be combined with other siding styles, like lap siding for example. Shake siding offers many great design options and possibilities.
