I’m getting ready to install some cedar shingles for siding. I’ve heard all the bad news regarding the shingles contacting directly to the housewrap. On how the shingles rot prematurely when in contact with ty-vek wrap. I will be using 30lb felt though. I have noticed on Maibec (www.maibec.com) Industries web site under installation they suggest using either furring strips or the Cedar Breather. Has anyone used the Cedar Breather product for siding yet. And what about the bugs. Am I creating a home for a “Bugs Life.” Help I’ve got 20 square to install.
