Replica PVC Cedar Shakes

A Four-Century Tradition

Since the 1600s, cedar shingles have been a staple of New England and coastal architecture. For more than 400 years, cedar has provided a richness and beauty most closely associated with Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and the coastal homes of New England.

In the 1800s, the widespread use of cedar shingles gave rise to what became known as the Shingle Style, prominently featured in Queen Anne architecture. Cedar remained popular throughout the 1900s despite the rise of alternative claddings such as asphalt shingles, brick, and vinyl siding — prized for its longevity and the richness it brought to the exterior of a well-designed home or commercial structure.

Coming Late 2026

In 2026, Aeratis has begun replicating true cedar shingles. Our shingles are not panels — panels restrict a craftsman’s creativity and limit installation style. We have replicated real, grade-A cedar shingles: each shingle measures 18” long and comes in random widths from 3” up to 12” wide. The surface texture is nearly identical to a real semi-rough Eastern White Cedar or Atlantic White Cedar shingle — and installation is far easier, without the same limitations.

The Modern Cedar Challenge

Fast forward to the 2000s: with rising population demand, shorter growth cycles producing lower-quality cedar, and the long maturation time required for cedar trees, the market has seen a dramatic increase in cost paired with a decline in quality — a challenge very similar to what occurred in the wood tongue-and-groove market. This is where Aeratis’ proprietary formulation found its first home. For over 20 years, Aeratis has manufactured wood-alternative products that closely replicate their wood predecessors.

Our philosophy traces back to the 1800s, when architects designed products as solutions to the real challenges facing the shelter industry. At Aeratis, we use a performance-leading proprietary formulation that outperforms every species of wood, crafted so precisely that even the most discerning historians and architects struggle to tell the difference. And we’ll be honest: over time, you will see the difference — because while we preserve the authentic texture of real wood, we also preserve the appearance for a lifetime, without any of the maintenance wood requires.
