Distinctive Beauty
Cedar Impressions Perfection Shingles
create the subtle, yet strikingly elegant,
appearance of natural cedar.
A style once reserved for the
finest homes, the stately look of
perfection shingles is one of exacting
craftsmanship. Clean edges and smooth
lines complement the quiet beauty of
the natural wood textures. In a straight
edge design, perfection shingles create a
more refined look, while staggered edge
perfection shingles add a more relaxed
feeling to the traditional styling.

the finest top-grade lumber, Restoration Millwork cuts,
mills, shapes and routs like wood. But since it’s made
from cellular PVC, it out-performs wood by far – with no
worries about rotting, warping, moisture or insects.
