Flat Grain Shakes

Flat grain shakes are not to exceed 20% of the total content in any given bundle. Some shakes may seem less expensive but if they contain over 20% flat grain they are off-grade, according to the Canadian Standard Association and the Uniform Building Code. The way to differentiate flat grain fromedge grain is to look at the butt of the piece. In flat grain shakes the rings will run horizontally across the butt end. Waldun shakes are manufactured and graded in accordance with CSA0118.1 – 88 and UniformBuilding Code 15-3 or 15-4.

Edge Grain Shakes

Edge grain shakes are to comprise 80% of any given bundle. Waldun guarantees this to our customers. Unlike many other manufacturers, we actually count the pieces that go into our bundles. The flat grain and edge grain are separated before the bundle is packed.Many other manufacturers just pack it into the bundles from one large bin of mixed flat grain and edge grain product,with no regard to the amount of flat grain the bundles contain. By looking closely, you will notice, the grain runs vertically down the face of the piece and vertically on the butt.When you get priced on your re-roof do not take it for granted that all cedar is created equally.Make sure you check the end of the bundles for a percentage of flat grain.
