Sidewall Shingles With a Flare

摘要

Here along the Connecticut coastline, cedar sidewall shingles have long been the go-to cladding for weathering the harsh storms and salt spray. Since this area still has lots of old homes, we try our best to build new homes that fit with that traditional aesthetic, so we're no stranger to shingling. In this area, and much of New England for that matter, it's also common to find sidewall shingles installed so that the first few courses flare out. It's a handsome detail on a shingled house-and though it does add a layer of complexity to the installation of the shingles, especially at the woven corners, once you get the hang of the sequence, it isn't much more complex than a standard shingling job.
