and have proven their durability in all kinds of climates. They can
be used to create individual buildings, whether traditional or

weathering give shingles and shakes, in time, an attractive silvery
grey colour.

dimensional stability and natural resistance to the elements. It
contains a natural preservative which makes the wood extremely
durable in its natural state.
