Natural White Cedar shingles by SBC Cedar are produced from Eastern white cedar and used for exterior cladding applications. The material is lightweight, dimensionally stable, and resistant to moisture, decay, and insect damage, making it suitable for long-term use in exposed conditions.

From a sustainability perspective, white cedar is a renewable, bio-based material sourced from managed forests. Its natural durability reduces the need for chemical treatments, coatings, or preservatives, while the option to leave the surface untreated allows the material to weather naturally over time.
