The Premier Panel

The Premier PanelTM - Classic Design

The Premier PanelTM (patent pending) is a major breakthrough in shingle panel design. Designed after the classic and traditional method of installing individual shingles, Premier's two ply "Cedar on Cedar" shingle panel is the only shingle panel available with a naturally durable Western Red Cedar backer-board. Real Cedar key-ways and a full coverage overlapping backer-board are just two of the many important features of the Premier PanelTM that also include premium "A" grade shingles manufactured from 100% Vertical Grain, Clear Heartwood Western Red Cedar. Premier's shingles are band sawn, rebutted and rejointed providing optimum architectural appeal and superior finish performance.

The Premier PanelTM - Rain Screen Design

Committed to new, green and innovative solutions for our customers, architects and the building industry, Premier took the same great features of the Classic Panel and developed a cutting edge Rain Screen Panel by adding factory installed Moisture GuardTM furring strips to the back of the cedar backer-board. The furring strips, located 16" on center, provide a vertical drainage plane to vent and drain trapped moisture by creating a continuous 3/8" air space behind the siding. Premier's patent pending rain screen design provides a thermal and capillary break, equalizes pressure within the wall system, optimizes insulation performance and increases R-value resulting in a green and energy efficient siding system. Rain screen design also enhances the performance of finishes, combats mold, mildew and corrosion and extends the longevity of the siding and building envelope.
