Tando has introduced composite technology to its architecturally precise 5-inch shingle Beach House Shake, which is a substitution for natural cedar shingles. Composite technology is recognized for providing realism, durability and longevity and has revolutionized many exterior products. Consumers desire natural cedar shingles, but untreated cedar shingles discolor quickly with unsightly and uneven dark spots. To overcome discoloration, cedar shingles are commonly painted; coatings offer protection, but they cover natural cedar’s subtle nuances and beauty. A 5-inch re-squared and rebutted shingle, Beach House Shake is available in four natural cedar shades: Sandcastle, a new white cedar; Atlantica, a silvery gray reminiscent of a New England cottage; Hatteras, a deeper gray found in southern coastal regions; and Pacifica, a new western red cedar shingle.
