To finish off the front gable of this brick ranch style house, a vinyl product from Crane Performance Siding was used that is made to resemble individually applied cedar shakes. The panels are exceptionally rigid and lock together tightly to provide a realistic appearance.

Crane also makes foam backed lap siding known as Craneboard® that also has an authentic looking profile as well as providing additional insulation value to the home.
