Tando Composites, a division of Derby Building Products and the leader in composite exterior cladding, proudly announces a new partnership with Building Products Inc. (BPI), a leading distributor serving the Midwestern United States. Headquartered in Sioux Falls, SD, BPI will distribute the full line of Tando Composites products, including Beach House Shake®, the authentic composite shingle, and TandoStone®, the #1 brand of composite stone, from their six locations covering South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Omaha area.
“BPI’s deep roots in the Midwest, and strong relationships with dealers, make them an ideal partner to bring our industry leading brands to more dealers, making our products easier to buy for the installers that are fueling our growth,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO, Derby Building Products. “BPI’s team understands the importance of category creating substitutive products such as Beach House Shake and TandoStone and how they help builders and remodelers differentiate themselves in competitive markets.”
“We’re excited to offer our customers Tando Composite’s category-defining cladding products,” said Kyle Schull, President of BPI. “Beach House Shake and TandoStone deliver high-end aesthetics that increase property values and marketability. These products offer the accelerated installation timelines, reduced lifecycle costs, and exceptional weather resistance that commercial builders demand in the Midwest market. We’re confident this partnership will empower our customers to win more projects and elevate their reputation in the market.”
Siding installers recognize TandoStone as a top growth partner – a stone system they will want to install on every job as a perfect complement to fiber cement, composite, or vinyl siding. TandoStone is available in two profiles: Stacked Stone, featuring a dry stack look with minimal grout lines, and Creek Ledgestone, resembling hand-picked stones with visible grout lines. Using standard siding tools, TandoStone can be installed in a fraction of the time compared to natural stone or stone veneer.
Beach House Shake offers the undeniable appearance of natural individual cedar shingles without cedar’s drawbacks of rapid and uneven discoloration. Beach House Shake, available in four styles, maintains its authentic, natural cedar beauty from the day it’s installed for the life of the home. And its advanced composite technology ensures superior performance. Beach House Shake has been approved by Miami-Dade County for use in high-velocity hurricane zones.
