	CEDAR SIDING PANELS
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Cedar Valley, Cedar Siding Panels. This section is based on the products of Cedar Valley Shingle Systems, which is located at: 943 San Felipe Road Hollister, CA 95023 Te1: (800)521-9523 Fax: (831) 636-8109 Considered the finest panels available for residential and commercial construction, Cedar Valley Shingle Panels are handcrafted with the highest grades of Western Red Cedar. Each panel is constructed with a solid one-piece plywood backer followed by an Elk VersaShield moisture barrier that's waterproof and breathable. And the construction of our panels is so dependable; they’re certified to withstand winds over 196 mph. There are many other benefits to builders, architects and homeowners, including: - Savings: Our panels go up an average of six times faster than individual shingles, dramatically reducing installation costs. - Easy installation: Overlapping end joints don’t require caulking and blind nail patterns are available. - Reduced waste: Splitting of individual shingles is virtually eliminated. And single-course panels reduce waste in gables and other tight spaces.
