Wood shake and wood shingle roof systems are primarily used in residential applications on steep sloped roof areas, and are usually more common in dryer milder climate.

Wood shakes and shingles are made from either cedar or pine. Cedar shakes and shingles are made from Western Red Cedar and are available pressure treated with fire retardants and chemical preservatives as well as untreated. Pine shakes and shingles are made from Southern Yellow Pine and are only available treated. The treatment helps to protect the wood from fire, decay and insects.
