Factory-Direct Cedar Valley Shingle Panels: Pre-Stained & Ready to Install
At Bulldog Cedar Shingles, we are the premier national supplier for Cedar Valley Shingle Panels. This high-performance siding solution blends the timeless aesthetic of handcrafted Western Red Cedar with an engineered panelized system designed for maximum efficiency.
Whether you are designing a custom coastal home, a commercial development, or a historic renovation, our panelized cedar siding offers a 3:1 labor savings over individual hand-set shingles without sacrificing architectural integrity.
Why Choose Cedar Valley Shingle Panels?
Cedar Valley Sidewall Shingle Panels (often referred to as Shake Panels) are factory-assembled in the USA using 100% Clear Vertical Grain Western Red Cedar. This is the highest grade of cedar available, ensuring natural resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage.
Unlike individual shingles, these 8-foot panels are built on a 3/8" CDX plywood backer with an integrated fiberglass moisture mat, providing a secondary layer of protection for your building envelope.
Key Benefits for Builders and Architects:
3x Faster Installation: Our 8-foot interlocking panels eliminate the need for chalking lines and manual spacing. Contractors report installing siding up to three times faster than individual shingles, significantly lowering on-site labor costs.
Blind Nailing & Seamless Joints: The patented interlocking end-joint system allows for blind nailing, hiding fasteners from view and creating a seamless, continuous appearance across the wall.
WUI & Fire-Rated Options: Cedar Valley panels can be treated to meet Class A, B, or C fire ratings, making them ideal for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones and strict commercial building codes.
Wind Load & Coastal Performance: Engineered to withstand extreme weather, these panels are certified for high-wind zones, offering superior stability in coastal and mountainous environments.
Precision Kiln-Drying: Every shingle is kiln-dried to a specific moisture content to prevent cupping, shrinking, or warping after installation.

Cedar Valley Panels vs. Individual Shingles
While traditional shingles offer a classic look, Cedar Valley Panels are the smarter choice for large-scale residential and commercial cladding. By using a panelized system, you ensure perfect course alignment across the entire structure and eliminate the human error associated with hand-gapping shingles.
Custom Colors & Factory Finishing
Choose from our curated palette of pre-finished stains or request a custom color match. Factory-applied coatings ensure the cedar is sealed on all six sides, protecting the wood from the elements before it even arrives at the job site.

Frequently Asked Questions

-
Cedar Valley panels are handcrafted siding sections made from real Western Red Cedar shingles bonded to a moisture-resistant plywood backing. Instead of nailing individual shingles one by one, you install an 8-foot panel, which significantly speeds up the siding process while maintaining the authentic look of a traditional shingle wall.
-
On average, Cedar Valley panels can be installed up to 4 to 5 times faster than individual shingles. Because the shingles are already aligned and spaced according to industry standards on the panel, it eliminates the need for chalking lines and constant measuring, drastically reducing labor costs.
-
Yes. Every panel features 100% vertical-grain Western Red Cedar shingles. They provide the same natural beauty, aroma, and decay resistance as traditional shingles because they are traditional shingles—just pre-mounted for structural integrity and ease of use.
-
We offer both. You can order them in their natural state to allow for silvering over time, or you can take advantage of our factory-direct staining. Choosing prefinished panels ensures the wood is protected on all sides before it even arrives at your job site, preventing common issues like moisture trapping.
-
The panels are designed with an interlocking end-joint system. When installed correctly, the shingles overlap the seams of the next panel, creating a seamless, continuous look. To a casual observer (and even most pros), a finished Cedar Valley wall is indistinguishable from one made of individual hand-set shingles.
-
Maintenance is the same as traditional cedar siding. If left natural, they require very little upkeep. If stained, they should be cleaned periodically and restained every 15–25 years depending on the finish quality and sun exposure. Because the panels are factory-assembled, you don't have to worry about individual shingles warping or "cupping" as easily as loose shingles might.
