Shingles from larch and cedar

Our shingle makers process the wood using a splitting axe and drawknife just like generations before them have done. Some of their work is also carried out on machines. Each shingle is split individually from the block, cut into a wedge and, depending on the type of shingle, bevelled. Sawn shingles are also produced for wall cladding in addition to hand split shingles and these mainly have uniform widths and a decorative cut.
