Hi Sherry

Thanks for your question. The siding is an Eastern White Cedar shingle made by Maibec. This LINK should take you to their website, to the pre-assemblied panels that they sell and which we prefer. The color was a custom blend, specific to this project, and is a deep sage color. The Maibec COLOR CHART is a good place to start, but you can find a color chip at a local paint shop, send it to them (or send them the color code) and they can create a physical sample for you to check. Obtain a physical sample of product, hopefully of several pieces, to judge the color in differing daylight conditions, and across multiple shingle pieces (due to texture).

Three additional tips here Sherry, to help. We consider these mandatory:

1.) install over a ventilated drainage plane. This can be created using several different approaches, though typically it is either a roll-out product stapled to the wall, or dedicated vertical furring strips over the wall. If a roll product, we prefer HOME SLICKER.

2.) stainless steel fasteners. We prefer staples, but nails will work as well. These can be obtained for favorite pneumatic nailer/ staplers. This practice avoids the problem of black-staining on cedar siding from fastener corrosion.

3.) avoid weather-resistive barriers (house wraps) that are affected by the tannins that typically leach out of cedar. Check with the tech support of the house wrap you prefer, to make sure it can withstand exposure to the tannins. One of our favorite house wraps is TYPAR .
