LPĀ® SmartSideĀ® cedar shake panels offer the look of real cedar, easy to install, and require less maintenance over real cedar shingles. The staggered edges offer a lively textured effect and can be installed 180 degrees for a straight shake look. These panels can be used to cover the entire exterior or used as an accent. Each panel has been manufactured with a shiplap edge for a seamless appearance and is available in a fiber substrate. Our Gauntlet Gray solid color has a dark gray color that looks good with a contrasting color trim or another style of siding such as lap siding. The deep texture really makes these panels look like real wood. If you are looking for a great looking shake siding product that's easy to install and is less maintenance than real wood, these perfection shingles are a great choice.
