Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Heritage shakes are ideal for gable accents, dormers and full facades where a cedar look without cedar maintenance is the goal. The heavy gauge and locking systems make it a strong choice in hurricane-prone regions. Order accent and field colors from the same Variform palette and stage panels from several cartons to blend any subtle shade variation.

Install per the manufacturer’s nailing pattern and local building codes, and use fall protection when working on ladders or scaffolding.
