About Foundry
Foundry Specialty Siding manufactures polymer shake and shingle panels recognized for accurate texture and a broad colour palette. Pro Materials supplies Foundry Split Shake and Staggered Shake profiles, two of the most used polymer shake products in Ontario residential construction, available on a quote basis for contractor and builder supply. If you're comparing shake products before committing to a specification, we can pull samples from across the Foundry, Novik, and Mitten shake lines.
About Foundry Specialty Siding
Foundry Specialty Siding produces polymer shake and shingle siding panels widely specified on residential projects throughout North America. The Foundry product line at Pro Materials includes two profiles:
Foundry Split Shake
replicates the look of hand-split cedar shake with deeply textured panels and a natural colour range. Available in multiple colours with colour-matched corner pieces. Class A or Class B fire rating depending on the specific substrate and installation assembly.
Foundry Staggered Shake
uses a multi-depth panel face that mixes different shake depths within a single panel run, replicating the organic variation of a hand-applied staggered cedar shingle installation. This profile produces the most naturalistic appearance among polymer shake panels and is popular for full-facade and gable end accent applications.
Foundry's position in the category:
Foundry complements the Novik and Mitten shake products in our catalogue, providing an alternative texture approach and colour palette. For projects where sampling multiple shake products before committing to a final specification is important, we can provide samples from across the Foundry, Novik, and Mitten shake lines.
Foundry: Frequently Asked Questions
- What profiles does Foundry offer?
- Pro Materials supplies two Foundry profiles: Split Shake (a deeply textured panel replicating hand-split cedar) and Staggered Shake (a multi-depth panel that mixes different shake depths within each course for an organic, hand-laid appearance). Both include colour-matched corner pieces for clean terminations.
- How does Foundry Staggered Shake differ from standard shake panels?
- Staggered Shake panels have varying face depths - some shakes deeper and some shallower - replicating the varied projection of real hand-applied cedar shingles. Standard shake panels use uniform depth across each course, which reads as more repetitive. Staggered Shake is the right choice when the highest organic variation is the goal, particularly on gable ends and dormers visible at close range.
- Are Foundry products fire rated?
- Foundry polymer shake panels are fire rated - Class A or Class B depending on the specific product, substrate, and installation assembly. Class A is the highest fire-resistance rating for exterior cladding and is required in many Canadian jurisdictions. Contact us for the specific fire rating of the Foundry product you're specifying and verify with the local authority having jurisdiction.
