 The highest quality shingles in the world.        

 

                    

At Vancouver Island Shingle we make the best Cedar shingles available.

 

We have a small "Mom and Pop" operation, where the focus is not on making a lot of shingles, but making the finest quality possible.

 

If you are shopping for cedar roofing shingles then you’re interested in having the best quality, a durable and attractive finish.  Why, then, would you accept inferior products?

 

Western Red Cedar is the best raw material for roofing, it is light weight, provides excellent heat and sound insulation, excellent reflectivity,  and is resistant to rot and decay.

 

It is also easy to install, is very durable and provides an attractive finish.

 

Plus, wood is the only environmentally sound choice for roofing.

 

It is the only product which is renewable.

 

It is the best all-round product, and we are the best manufacturers.

  

The product we make is 100% two pack, a maximum of two shingles per row in a 20” wide frame.  No other mills produce shingles with this large average size.

 

It is not available anywhere else in the world.

 

Of course every mill makes this claim, but we invite you to actually come to the mill and see for yourself, whether you are a professional roofer, remanufacturer or a home-owner, we welcome you to inspect the shingles and we are sure we will become your preferred supplier.

 

On this site you will find a link to contact me if you wish to purchase either our standard shingles, or if you would like to place an order for custom cut products.

     

In the media center you will find photographs of logging and block cutting on the British Columbia Coast, and a 25 minute video showing the entire shingle manufacturing process.

 

Even if you aren't going to buy shingles, enjoy the site, there are some very interesting pictures in the media center, and a lot of information on roofing systems.  I periodically update the site so if you have additional information which could help people get the most out of their roof please feel free to contact me.

 

In the information center there is an evaluation of the different materials used for roofing, links to shake and shingle installation manuals, history and general information about shakes and shingles, and about our company.
