100% Vertical Grain – 100% Clear – 100% Heartwood
Premier uses 100% Vertical Grain, 100% Clear and 100% Heartwood Western Red Cedar shingles in their panel system. Testing and practical experience show that these shingles move less, cup less and retain finishes better than flat grain shingles.

Thick Butt Western Red Cedar Shingles
Premier manufactures its Western Red Cedar shingles to industry standards featuring a “thick butt” shingle for added longevity and style. Premier’s rebutted and rejointed (R&Rs) shingles provide clean, crisp, distinctive shadow lines for optimum architectural appeal.

Band Sawn Textured Shingle Faces
Premier’s vertical grain shingles have a textured band sawn “A” face, which absorb stains, paints and other finishes more readily and evenly compared to other milled surfaces. Real Cedar Key-Ways (Real Reasons) The Premier Panel™ includes real, full, natural cedar key-ways allowing the shingles to expand and contract naturally with the environment.

The Premier Rain Screen System
Committed to new and innovative solutions for our customers and the building industry, Premier developed its shingle panel with a factory installed rain screen system. The Premier Panel™ features built-in Moisture Guard™ furring strips providing a vertical drainage plane to vent and drain trapped moisture. Premier’s furring strips also provide a thermal break, accommodate air flow and regulate pressure within the wall system – as well as promote the longevity and performance of stains, paints and finishes. This rain screen system is referred to as the "mother of all weather barrier systems."

Snap Lock Feature
Premier’s Moisture Guard™ furring strips include a “snap lock” feature. The lower portion of the furring strip, which extends below the bottom of the panel, is secured behind the fastened top edge of the preceding panel. This feature provides an added level of application security in extreme conditions.
