CEDAR IMPRESSIONS SIDING
The Cedar Look Without the Maintenance
Cedar Impressions by CertainTeed is a polymer (polypropylene) siding molded from real cedar shakes and shingles, so it captures the texture and shadow lines that make shingle-style homes so popular in Massachusetts.
Unlike natural wood, it does not need to be stained or sealed, and it resists moisture, rot and insects. It works beautifully on a full home or as an accent on gables, dormers and bump-outs combined with lap siding.
Molded from real cedar for natural grain, depth and shadow lines.
No Staining or Sealing
Color goes all the way through, so there is no repainting or re-staining.
Moisture & Rot Resistant
Polymer will not rot, split or cup like natural wood shingles can.
Perfect for Accents
Ideal for gables and dormers alongside vinyl or fiber cement lap siding.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cedar Impressions siding made of?
It is a polymer (polypropylene) siding molded from real cedar shakes and shingles. It gives the appearance of cedar while resisting moisture, rot and insects.
How does it compare to real cedar shingles?
Real cedar has natural variation and can be stained, but it needs periodic maintenance. Cedar Impressions offers a similar look with far less upkeep and very consistent color.
Can Cedar Impressions be used only on gables?
Yes. Many homeowners use it as an accent on gables, dormers or a front bump-out and pair it with lap siding on the rest of the house.
Does polymer shake siding fade?
Like any exterior product, color can soften over many years of sun exposure. Choosing the right color for your home’s exposure helps, and we can review options with you during the estimate.
