The excellent insulation value offered by western red cedar shingles and shakes for roofs and exterior walls is a factor worth consideration when beginning new home construction or remodeling.

From two viewpoints, heat insulation is vital in all homes. First, if a roof or sidewall does not give insulation against transmission of heat in an effective manner, the resulting heat loss must be made up during cold winter months by burning additional amounts of fuel that this heat loss represents. In many homes, the cost of heat lost annually for two or three years would provide a new cedar shingle roof or cedar sidewall.

Second, during summer months, when heat is definitely not wanted in the home, the heat insulating ability of cedar shingles and shakes is equally important. Homes are cooler, because instead of -absorbing and transmitting heat inside the residence, cedar shingles and shakes ward off the sun's rays.

Actual scientific tests have proven the rate of heat transmission through a thin layer of cedar shingles is so much less than through other types of roofing and sidewall material, that cedar's fine insulating qualities offer a big advantage on roofs and walls. The natural beauty of wood achieved with red cedar makes it a material well worth investigation when planning a ne\,v home or renovating an older home.
