ComfortWorld Shakes and Scallops

Innovation forged from tradition

It is about respect.  A respect for the natural beauty of cedar.  The way its grain and the marks of a mill saw interact with sunlight.  How those random patterns give a home its own unique character.  How techniques and knowledge hundreds of years old can still bring forth innovations, like an exterior siding never seen before.

Natural beauty that endures

Let us be the first to agree with you, wood siding is beautiful on a home.  But it's a beauty that quickly succumbs to the elements.  Cracking, fading, buckling, rotting.  It is a look that is expensive and time consuming to maintain.

Craftsman and technology

We love the look of wood.  It is the inspiration for this completely proprietary process.  With nearly 100 unique molds, taken from actual cedar shake and shingles, each home is individually beautiful.  No other manufacturing is as committed to rendering the natural, random beauty of cedar as ComfortWorld.

Invest Now...Save Later

You can enjoy the true look of cedar, with none of the headaches, for a fraction of the costs.  With Architectural Shingles, Shakes, Staggered Shakes, and Scallops, you can count of years of not having the expense of scraping, sanding, staining, and painting.  Each panel is carefully manufactured with a unique finish that improves fade resistance and weatherability.

Architectural Shakes

Handcrafted authenticity.  Shakes have always been esteemed by those who believe a home should be one with its natural setting.  Split along the grain, cedar Shakes are deeply textured in a way that sets off an interplay of light and shadow.  The sun moves across the sky, and the light changes the house, as it does the landscape.  Architectural Shakes are the only other way to capture this beauty.

A Faithful Reproduction of Cedar's natural Grain.  Our Shakes bear the rich grain of hand-split cedar.  Our Shingles, the random marks of a mill saw.  And on all our claddings, the texture is carried through on the bottom edge of each shingle - an honest rough-sawn look.  The level of authenticity is only possible with our proprietary process.  What you won't see are seams.  Even when you know just where to look, they're difficult to find.  All this makes ComfortWorld's Architectural Classics the most realistic siding anywhere.

Architectural Staggered Shakes

The past meets the present.  Architectural Staggered Shakes echo the rustic charm of another time.  Their uneven pattern and the rough-sawn look of their edges make them appear handcrafted.  And they are.  But not by a carpenter in a musty barn, but by our artisan mold makers.

Architectural Shingles

Classic style without the upkeep.  Originally referred to as the "seaside style", cedar shingled homes first lined the cobblestone streets of Boston in the 1800's.  Like the original, only Architectural Shingles have a naturally textured surface and edge.  You can even see the random marks of a mill saw.  The Perfection Shingle delivers the perfect balance of the deep texture of Shakes and the clean lines of Shingles.  This profile offers a traditional look with a hint of ruggedness.  Offered in a 7" exposure, the crisp vertical grains are highlighted, complementing random shingle widths.

Architectural Scallops

Scallops that mix and match for distinction and style.  Even if you don't own a Victorian or a Queen Anne, Architectural Scallops afford you the opportunity to bring style and originality to your home.  Challenge your imagination with the possibilities.  They come in a broad palette of colors, many of which simply are not available anywhere else.

Trimworks®

Trimworks® accessories are made with the same quality and attention to detail.  Many  trims and accessories are insulated inside to make the energy efficiency and durability of your siding complete.  For example, our beaded and fluted corner posts feature insulated backing inside to add rigidity, insulation, and 300% greater impact resistance.  Small animals, birds, and insects can't nest in these corners.  Plus, soffit, trim, accessories, rainware, gutter coil, fascia and trim coil are matched to your siding, thanks to the ColorConnect® Color Matching System.

Many Color Choices

Look at your home, look at its surroundings.  Then look at the color choices listed in the Siding Design Studio under Shakes. With many colors to choose from, you'll quickly find one that gives your home the special emphasis you want to create.  All provide a low-gloss, easy-care finish.  And all are color-coordinated with ComfortWorld's full range of trim and accessory products.
