“Tando Composites is an outstanding addition to our portfolio of innovative exterior building products,” said Jake Hoffer, Business Manager/Lumber & Materials for Bennett Supply. “Beach House Shake and TandoStone deliver the realism of natural products – such as wood and masonry – but they deliver the high performance, weather-resistance and curb appeal that homeowners demand.”

“Our team is proud to partner with Bennett Supply, a company with more than 60 years of experience bringing the latest innovative products to their customers,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products, parent company of Tando Composites. “Bennett Supply has a long history of establishing new categories with leading brands in their market. We look forward to helping them build awareness of Tando Composites in their region.”

Bruno added TandoStone®, known by siding installers as ‘the smarter way to stone’, is the strongest stone system on the market.

Virtually unbreakable with unmatched durability and preferred over stone veneer or painted concrete, TandoStone is available in three profiles: Stacked Stone, Creek Ledgestone, and ProBrick®. All TandoStone products offer best-in-class aesthetics, a fast, easy installation, and an outstanding ROI for homeowners – while never requiring a mason or mortar for installation.

Beach House Shake, the composite shingle that never tells its age, is available in two collections – Classic and the new Rustic Collection. With authentic natural cedar looks that last for the life of the home, Beach House Shake’s advanced composite technology provides unparalleled realism, architectural precision, and simplified installation. Both collections are available in four distinctive styles to complement a wide range of aesthetic preferences.

“ProBrick is the latest of our game-changing composite brands to be recognized by Qualified Remodeler. It builds upon the history of our composite shingle, Beach House Shake®, and our composite stone, TandoStone®, recognized in prior years,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products, parent company of Tando Composites. “We have defined composite brick as an exciting new product for Tando Composites and are pleased that remodelers recognize how advanced composite technology can positively impact their projects.”

Bruno added that ProBrick, as with all Tando Composites’ offerings, addresses the labor shortage and affordability crisis head-on. No special labor required, efficient install, unmatched aesthetics, and durability position our brands as transformative for both homeowners and remodelers.

There is no need for masons, mortar, or scaffolding. ProBrick also features a Kynar® coating to ensure unmatched color retention and is available in Madeira, a rich, classic red, and Racinette, a deep, earthy brown.

Demand for the Rustic Collection’s iconic staggered edge shake has been strong in all markets. The original 5” re-squared and rebutted Beach House Shake product line will be known as the Classic Collection.

Beach House Shake Rustic Collection, just like the Classic collection, is an ideal replacement for natural individual cedar shingles. It features a staggered edge design, characterized by shingles of varying thicknesses and uneven edges. This iconic look dates back to the 1600s when craftsmen began using irregularly shaped shingles for speed and aesthetics.

“Demand for the authentic rustic look is very strong overall, especially with the siding installers,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products. “As the perfect replacement for natural wood shingles and engineered shingles, The Rustic Collection provides easy installation while looking like the day it was installed for the life of the home. Beach House Shake provides the beauty and charm of natural cedar without the challenges of natural cedar, such as discoloration.”

Bruno continued, “This will be our largest product launch to date. We are thrilled to be delivering a product that is in such demand while supporting our channel partners.” Tando Composites’ marketing support for the launch includes collateral, display items, samples and inclusion in the Tando Home Visualizer and Hover, a popular remodeling software.

The Rustic Collection is available in four on-trend styles – Pacifica, a fresh western red cedar; Sandcastle, fresh white eastern cedar; and two new darker shades, Galveston Gray and Ballard Brown. While the new profile can be used in a whole-house application, it is also ideal in gable or accent area for a mixed material exterior, including with fiber cement siding.

All Tando Composites’ products deliver authentic beauty with unprecedented durability to any exterior. Learn more about the Beach House Shake Rustic Collection at beachhouseshake.com.

Like the original Beach House Shake, the Rustic Collection is an ideal replacement for natural individual cedar shingles. The Rustic Collection features a staggered edge design, characterized by shingles of varying thicknesses and uneven edges. This iconic look dates to the 1600s when craftsmen began using irregularly shaped shingles for speed and aesthetics.

“As we continue to expand our geographic reach, we heard the demand for our award-winning Beach House Shake technology in a staggered edge profile, so we went to work,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products. “Drawing on the rustic look people love, the Rustic Collection was crafted to capture the authentic character of a deep, uneven profile. This design will bring Beach House Shake to a whole new audience who will be amazed by its undeniable authenticity and unmatched performance.”

Known as the “composite shingles that never show their age,” all Beach House Shake products deliver the authentic beauty of cedar shingles while maintaining their original appearance for the life of the home – with no discoloration.

The Rustic Collection is available in four on-trend styles – Pacifica, a fresh western red cedar; Sandcastle, fresh white eastern cedar; and two new darker shades depicting gracefully aged wood shingles – Galveston Gray and Ballard Brown. While the new profile could be used for a whole house application, it also works well in a gable or an accent area for a mixed material exterior.
