Shelter 7 commented on a discussion

abreen99 We are building an oceanfront home on the jersey shore. We are planning on using white cedar shingles without any treatment. Would they grey and weather like the homes in Nantucket? Have you been happy with the bardobec shingles. Builders here use malibec shingles but the warantee is void if the shingles are not treated. Bleaching oil dipped shingles are fairly standard here but they do need refinishing every 5-7 years.

Shelter 7 Yes. Maibec and Bardobec are both used here and good quality. Both will turn gray when left natural to weather.
