TandoStone, the #1 brand of composite stone, offers natural beauty combined with easy installation, and a realistic feel. Impervious to moisture, TandoStone is perfect for ground contact, has excellent workability, can be used for knee walls and taller accent walls. TandoStone can be installed by any siding contractor in any temperature – saving time and money.
Beach House Shake is the ultimate low maintenance, high-performance cladding. From its subtle surface textures, graining, saw cuts, and natural color variations, Beach House Shake delivers a look so striking, it’s nearly impossible to tell it isn’t real cedar. Beach House Shake also recently received a notice of acceptance from Miami-Dade County as compliant and capable of withstanding the severe weather conditions experienced throughout Florida, including its High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
