Tando Composites Partners with Universal Supply as Beach House Shake Flagship Dealer in Southern New Jersey

Universal Supply, a branch of USLBM, has collaborated with Tando Composites to be the Flagship distributor in the Southern New Jersey area for Beach House Shake, the authentic composite shingle.

All Southern NJ Universal Supply locations will be trained and merchandised as the Beach House Shake Flagship dealer in that area, with the Lakewood and Pleasantville sites serving as key stocking centers.

“Beach House Shake is changing the market with its composite shingle technology, as a clear substitution for natural cedar shingles. We’ve been watching the incredible success of Beach House Shake on Cape Cod through Mid-Cape Home Centers, our sister USLBM company. And we’re excited to fill the demand for Beach House Shake for the iconic homes along the New Jersey shore,” remarked Barry Keenan, Universal Supply Co.’s Product Line Manager – Roofing & Siding. “We align well with Tando Composites’ go-to market strategies and look forward to providing the leading brand of composite shingle to solidify our market leadership.”

“For years, the demand for natural cedar shingles has outpaced the supply. We’re excited to partner with Universal Supply to bring Beach House Shake to their customers who demand the authentic look of natural cedar shingles,” noted Ralph Bruno, President and CEO of Tando Composites’ parent firm, Derby Building Products. “With this Universal Supply partnership, Beach House Shake will be easy to buy for the exploding demand in in South Jersey.”

Unlike genuine cedar shingles, which deteriorate fast, unevenly, and inexorably, Beach House Shake will seem “perfect” from the day it’s installed for the rest of the home’s life. The unique composite technology used in Beach House Shake gives unmatched realism and architectural precision, setting a new level in beauty, performance, and installation convenience. Beach House Shake is also certified by Miami-Dade County for High Velocity Hurricane Zones.

Beach House Shake comes in four colors: Atlantica, a silvery gray suggestive of bleached cedar shingles; Sandcastle, a fresh white cedar shingle; Hatteras, a darker gray prevalent in southern coastal locations; and Pacifica, a fresh western red cedar shingle.

Tando Composites also offers TandoStone, the #1 brand of composite stone, in addition to Beach House Shake. TandoStone is the stone cladding of choice for many of the nation’s leading remodelers, multifamily developers, and single-family homebuilders.
