Tando Composites Announces RBS as Long Island Flagship Distributor

Riverhead Building Supply has become the latest flagship distributor for Beach House Shake, the real composite shingle, and TandoStone, the #1 brand of Composite Stone, according to Tando Composites.

Riverhead Building Supply has been a family-owned business since 1948, serving the whole Long Island market from 13 locations on the island.

“Tando brings game-changing brands to the building market with authentic composite alternatives like Beach House Shake and TandoStone, and we’re excited to offer them to our customers,” Riverhead Building Supply’s Director of Purchasing Greg Goodale.

“Beach House Shake particularly stands out in coastal areas, because of the authentic shades that provide instant gratification for homeowners who want the beautiful look of natural cedar shingles,” he continued.

“At a time when our dealers tell us that natural cedar shingles are in short supply, we are thrilled to provide Riverhead with Beach House Shake as a solution for their customers,” Ralph Bruno, CEO and President of Derby Building Products, Tando Composites’ parent firm, stated.

“We know that Long Islanders love their cedar shingles, now with Beach House Shake they have a revolutionary shingle that will stay looking “perfect” from the day it is installed for the life of their home.”

Beach House Shake’s composite technology, which has been approved by Miami-Dade County for High Velocity Hurricane Zones, provides a new degree of authenticity as well as architectural perfection.

Each shingle is one-of-a-kind, and it installs more than five times faster than natural cedar shingles, saving time and money on installation costs.

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

Siding installers use TandoStone, the #1 brand of composite stone, for its lightweight and simple one-person installation.

TandoStone installs in a quarter of the time that stone or stone veneer does, without the need for masons, mortar, or adhesives.
