Cedar shingles were a common roofing material at the turn of the century. They were also widely used as a siding material, often on the upper stories, dormers, gable ends and mansard walls on residences. Coastal areas of North America often used shingles as cladding and numerous examples of decorative shingles can be seen. There are also many examples of decorative shingles used on churches in Canada's maritime provinces. There has been a resurgence of decorative shingling in the last two decades and many new housing projects include small areas on dormer walls or gable ends. Some commercial applications have been done, usually on storefronts, or mock roofs in restaurants. There are imitation decorative shingles made with vinyl and some Asphalt composition manufacturers are offering round shapes in their premium lines.
