Pre-Assembled Cedar Shingles

Ecoshel Pre-Assembled Cedar ShinglesA new and better way to install real cedar shingles.

Ecoshel combines the highest quality cedar shingles with advanced performance features, for an exceptionally beautiful installation that will last a lifetime.

Ecoshel looks better, lasts longer, and costs less than a conventional cedar shingle installation.

• Provides a fast, easy, authentic installation, with perfect joint placement, extreme weather protection, and a built-in ventilation system designed to prevent cupping mold and decay.

• Provides a rain-screen installation, a slight space between the shingles and the sheathing, that prevents solar vapor drive, which can cause moisture related decay within the wall assembly.

• Eliminates the tedious work of sorting through shingle bundles, or cutting shingles, to maintain properly o�set joints. Also eliminates any compromises in the quality of the installation. With the Ecoshel System, all joints are o�set automatically, and all shingles are positioned with the required keyway spacing.

Complete your order with the highest quality factory finishing in an unlimited selection of semi-transparent or solid color stains, warranted for up to 25 years.

Ecoshel Built-in VentilationPrevents trapped moisture that cancause cupping, mold, and decay.

PERFECT INSTALLATION - 5X FASTERThe Ecoshel Installation System automatically o�sets all joints at least 1-1/2” over 3 courses. (Building code speci�cation.)

Just align the edge of the �rst Shingle-Strip in each course with any "0" in the previous course, and adjust the height using the Exposure Gauge.Then just complete the course. Shingle-Strips have di�erent shinglepatterns to provide a balanced random widths appearance.

To install partial Shingle-Strips innarrow wall sections, just matchand align the numbers with thenumbers in the previous course.

Two nails per shingle

Any Exposureup to 7-1/2"

All joints are o�set at least 1-1/2" over 3 courses.

36" Shingle-Strip

With conventional installation,shingle layers are tight against eachother. Moisture soaks throughthe entire assembly and becomestrapped between layers.

Non-ventilated saturatedshingles require a longer timeto dry out. Prolonged saturationpromotes mold, and decay.

Solar Vapor Drive forces moisturethrough the house wrap and furtherinto the wall, where it can causemold and decay in the sheathingand framing.

Cupping occurs when the surfacedries and shrinks while the backof the shingles are still wet.

Capillary Breaks betweenshingles help isolate moisture

to the top layer, and preventtrapped water that can cause

cupping, mold, and decay.

Ridges on the back ofthe shingles provideBuilt-in Ventilation.

Ventilated shingles dryfaster and last longer.

Built-in Rain-ScreenA gap between the shingles

and the sheathing depres-surizes solar vapor drive,

and allows water vapor toventilate to the exterior.
