Available in April 2017, Beach House Shake stays looking as fresh as when it was installed and evokes the feeling of a beach house, backed by the most comprehensive warranty in the industry.  

“Beach House Shake created by Tando is going to change the way the market thinks about cedar shakes,” says Ralph Bruno, Tando’s President.  “Engineered to meet the harshest shore line weather as well as any climate, Beach House Shake has the attention to detail that will convince any wood purist.” He adds that Beach House Shake creates a mood of relaxation just like the beach, with the pleasure of knowing it requires little to no up-keep.

Several of the top 10 projects on Remodeling magazine’s 2017 Cost vs. Value report relate to a home’s curb appeal, earning homeowners returns far above the national average. And as many people look to upgrade their home’s exterior, product manufacturers have been quick to answer the call.

One trend ProSales noticed at IBS was the variety of color options available in multiple categories. Neutral tones, especially gray, are still the most popular choice for siding and roofing among homeowners and pros, but dealers should consider stocking additional colors, as manufacturers are quickly increasing their offerings.

Tando, an all-new line of polypropylene shakes and stone veneer, offers its TandoShake collection in six Signature Stain colors and 19 Color Series hues. Haas Door’s American Tradition Series of steel garage doors comes in 13 different finishes ranging from natural wood grain to neutrals to colorful options like hunter green.

TandoStone from Tando Building Products combines an authentic texture with a lighter, more workable installation process. Impervious to moisture, the manufactured stone can have ground contact, and a coating system protects against UV rays and ensures the finish weathers evenly over time.
