Looking for vinyl cedar shake siding

| Hi, I have always posted in the garden section, but started looking through the home section and found a lot of info. I am looking for a cedar shake vinyl siding. I have nailite on my house with no problems so far. I am building a barn and am looking for something that will be a close match. Can anyone give me some ideas on what there out there. I know of Certain Teed. |

| We looked at many before deciding on Cedarway and resided our whole house - love it. My DH did the install and is an engineer so was very picky about product especially corner construction. We didn't want' flat corner boards, we wanted shingled corners and they had the best design by far. They even did a custom color for us because honestly - their colors leave a lot to be desired (unless they've added recently). We picked an old discontinued Alcoa color and they were able to match it. Initially I wanted one of the 'weathered' colors so we concentrated looking at Foundry and others who offered that but their products just couldn't compare to Cedarway. |

| DLM I am considering a foundry shake but I don't like their colors. Where did you find Cedarway? Do you have pics posted? Thanks. |

| oops - imagine my surprise when I googled to get you a link - seems Atlantis Plastics (they manufactured Cedarway products) has filed chapter 11. But I did find this link from Qualified Remodeler so it looks as if Fortis Plastics has taken over. What they have pictured is rough sawn and not the type of shake we used but we did look at it and its very nice, just not appropriate for a colonial. Here's our house - completed a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with the look. There was almost no waste with this product which made my husband very happy. You can't find a seam on any long runs. I have tons of photos in process or close ups if you want to see more detail on the material. 
Living with the scaffold and ladderjacks!  In process - material was cut with a little jig saw - turned out to be the easiest thing to use

| Quality Edge has some of the best looking you can find. They are terrible at pictures /samples of their products online though. Very realistic. Priced similar to Certainteed which is also pretty nice. GP also has a pretty nice line. Crane, Atlantis Plastics, Royal designer Norandex, mastic and others are manufacturers. I can link some pictures if desired. I have a few in other threads on porches and decks and New Homes forums |
