Universal Supply partners with Tando Composites
Universal Supply, a division of USLBM, has partnered with Tando Composites to be the a flagship dealer for Beach House Shake in the southern New Jersey market.
As the Beach House Shake Flagship dealer in the area, all Southern N.J. Universal Supply locations will be trained and merchandised, with the Lakewood and Pleasantville locations being the primary stocking hubs.
“Beach House Shake is changing the market with its composite shingle technology, as a clear substitution for natural cedar shingles,” said Barry Keenan, product line manager - roofing & siding, at Universal Supply. “We’ve been watching the incredible success of Beach House Shake on Cape Cod through Mid-Cape Home Centers, our sister US LBM company. And we’re excited to fill the demand for Beach House Shake for the iconic homes along the New Jersey shore.”
Beach House Shake is available in four styles - Atlantica, a silvery gray reminiscent of bleached cedar shingles; Sandcastle, a fresh white cedar; Hatteras, a deeper gray found in southern coastal regions; and Pacifica, a fresh western red cedar shingle.
“For years, the demand for natural cedar shingles has outpaced the supply,” said Ralph Bruno, president and CEO of Derby Building Products, Tando Composites’ parent company. “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.
Unlike natural cedar shingles which discolor quickly, unevenly, and endlessly, Beach House Shake will look “perfect” – from the day it’s installed for the life of the home, according to Tando Composites. Beach House Shake’s innovative composite technology provides realism and architectural precision, setting a new standard of appearance, performance, and installation ease.
Beach House Shake is also certified for High Velocity Hurricane Zones by Miami-Dade County.
Universal Supply operates 19 locations and serves New Jersey, southeastern
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Connecticut.
