Timeless. Traditional. And tougher than ever. maibec® Eastern White Cedar Shingles.

When it comes to siding a house, nothing compares to eastern white cedar. It is warm, beautiful, and has proven reliable for over a century. At maibec, we have spent the last four decades improving the way white cedar shingles are made. Today, they are engineered to be so durable, you just might consider them high tech.

Mother Nature Invented It. We Improved It. Now the look and feel that everyone else has spent years trying to imitate is even harder to beat. We make our white cedar shingles easy to install with pre-assembled Cedar Strips and Cedar Panels—and completely customizable with TrueMatch ®, our exclusive factory staining process.

Best of all, maibec® shingles are guaranteed to last with a 50-year* warranty against decay, and up to 30 years* warranty on solid stain. * Some restrictions apply.

No warranty is offered on semi-transparent stain.

Sustainability. Guaranteed.

Guided by a profound respect for the environment, maibec is proud of its FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) SCS-COC-00011

certification as a wood siding mill. We can supply a FSC certified product upon request.

THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR FACTORY-STAINED EASTERN WHITE CEDAR SHINGLES ONLY AND NOT FOR GREEN SHINGLES.

The Classic

DeStefano Architects

Individual Shingles –

The Classic. Resquared and Rebutted. maibec® was the first manufacturer to use stellitetipped saws to ensure precise cuts and minimized raised grain. Shingles are resquared and rebutted for a beautiful natural finish that doesn’t require additional on-site trimming. Then they’re kiln-dried for greater stability and durability.

Timeless Victorian Style.

Whether you want a decorative look, or need to break up large sided areas, maibec® offers top-quality shingles in an array of classic Victorian choices. You can choose from Squares, Fish Scales, Arrows, Diamonds, Rounds, Hexagons, Octagons, Diagonals and Half Coves. See our Nantucket series to find out more.

Staggered 7-inch exposure

maibecŽ pre-assembled Cedar Panels put quality shingles to work on even the biggest jobs. Shingles are fastened to a watertight plywood backer consisting of a layer of perforated asphalt felt and a moisture-eliminating rainscreen. Each 8-foot panel is stapled front and back, then glued for maximum stability and durability— and its smooth back makes the panel simple to mark and cut to size.

Choose from In-Line panel or Staggered. Corners are also available.

Our panels come in an unlimited choice of colors.

®

Pick a color, any color, and we will TrueMatch ® it.

One of the most beautiful advantages of eastern white cedar is that it contains no dark tannins like other wood species, which can discolor over time. This makes maibec® shingles the perfect canvas for any color—and we mean any color.

TrueMatch ® 100

TrueMatch ® 200

At maibec, we factory coat shingles with Cabot® stain for complete, all-round coverage. Our TrueMatch® system can custom-match any color imaginable for unlimited possibilities and completely unique looks. Get the advantage of a 5-year* warranty on a single coat of solid stain with TrueMatch® 100, or get two coats of solid stain and up to 30 years* warranty with TrueMatch® 200.

Semi-transparent and clear finishes are also available.

There is no warranty on these finishes. *Some restrictions apply.

Cabot® Bleaching OilTM

Appearance on application

Appearance after 6–12 months

White cedar shingles are known for a weathered gray beauty that can take years to achieve. But now, you only have to wait a matter of months. Because at maibec, we can factory-treat shingles with Cabot® Bleaching OilTM, uniquely formulated to protect wood while it accelerates nature's weathering process. In 6-12 months, wood weathers to a beautifully uniform driftwood gray, and is protected against mildew, mold, cracking, peeling and blistering.

“There is a warm and charming quality to sidewall shingles that cannot be duplicated by any other siding product. The fact that they are low maintenance and look even better as they age is just an additional benefit. It makes good sense to build with cedar shingles and the maibec® shingle is, simply put, the best of the best.”
