Picking out just the right type of siding for your Pacific Northwest Home can be a challenge, but we at Shur-Way are here to assist as best as we can. Shur-Way offers many traditional wood siding options in Western Red Cedar, panelized options such as T-1-11, engineered siding such as LP’s SmartSide, and Fiber Cement composites such as James Hardie.
Fiber Cement
Shur-Way is proud to carry both Cemplank and HardiPlank fiber cement siding made by James Hardie. Fiber cement siding is made up of sand, cement, and cellulose fibers and creates a very long-lasting, low-maintenance siding. HardiPlank siding comes in lap, panels, soffit, and trim and can be ordered pre-painted or just as pre-primed. Cemplank is very similar to Hardiplank, but only comes in 8 ¼” cedar grain lap.
Plywood and Engineered Wood Siding
Plywood and Engineered wood siding typically comes in 4×8’, 4×9’, or 4×10’ panels and is relatively easy to install and relatively low-cost compared to other wood alternatives. Shur-Way has a long tradition of seeking out the best quality ‘shop’ grade sidings in the NW and offering these as inexpensively as possible to provide low-cost siding options for any outdoor project.
We will often have T-1-11 siding on hand in Plain (Non-grooved), 4” On Center, 8” On Center, or 12” On Center (Reverse Board and Batten).

Western Red Cedar Siding
For many years, Western Red Cedar has stood out as the ultimate siding choice for homes in the Pacific Northwest. It has a very NW feel with its timeless beauty and natural durability, but it is also relatively expensive. If cedar siding is something you want to look into, we are happy to explore the many different cedar siding options available at Shur-Way. We keep a number of natural and pre-primed options on hand for cedar shingles, shakes, bevels, and channel sidings, and we have numerous hard-to-find other options available to us as well.
