Extreme How-To recently published an article featuring Tando Composites Beach House Shake Atlantica being installed at the Dartmouth, Massachusetts Fire Station.

Beach House Shake, the authentic composite shingle, is the perfect substitution over natural cedar shingles. Composite technology is recognized for providing uncompromised realism, durability and longevity and has revolutionized exterior products such as decking, roofing, lap siding, and TandoStone, the #1 brand of composite stone.
Homeowners like natural cedar shingles, as they love the iconic look of a cedar shingled home with unique individual shingles, but untreated cedar shingles discolor quickly with unsightly and uneven dark spots. To overcome discoloration, cedar shingles are commonly painted and while coatings offer protection, they cover up natural cedar’s subtle nuances and beauty. The natural cedar shingles are time intensive to install, in limited supply and require constant upkeep.
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. www.beachhouseshake.com
