Traditional Stone vs Tando Stone
Traditional stone siding is bulky, heavy, and expensive. Not to mention, installation takes at least two people and is typically a slow process.
Tando Stone siding completely eliminates the need for cumbersome and costly rocks and boulders by offering a lightweight, composite alternative. The siding panels are both fast and easy to install with standard tools and require no mortars or adhesives—and can be done by one person. It's no wonder Tando Stone siding is the #1 brand of composite stone siding!
Stacked StoneFeatures large & small stones tightly arranged in a linear pattern with low heights and random lengths. The intricate detail of this profile provides the appearance of a mortar-less, hand-laid, dry-stack set for a contemporary, sharp-edged finish that looks like it was professionally done.

Tando Shake Siding
Is a Cape Cod-style home something you've always dreamed of? Tando Shake siding allows that dream to become a reality without having to move out of your current home! With a broad range of wood grain textures—from fine and subtle details to rugged grooves—Tando Shake siding provides the beauty of real wood shake siding, but with added durability and workability. Designed with the installer in mind, Tando Shake siding makes it easier than ever to achieve a rustic-coastal aesthetic that will instantly increase your curb appeal.
Traditional Cedar Shake vs Tando Shake
Traditional shake siding consists of wooden shingles, typically cedar, made from split logs that are nailed together. It requires a lot of upkeep to maintain its look and protection against the elements, including annual oiling, painting, repairing, and replacing. Not only is this a nuisance, but it's also costly and potentially dangerous.
Tando Shake siding is the perfect alternative to traditional wood siding because it provides the beauty of real wood with little to no maintenance. Unlike traditional cedar shingles, Tando Shake siding with UV-protection technology will not discolor over time, regardless of exposure to sunlight or moisture—so it stays looking as great as the day it was installed. And unlike wooden shingles, Tando Shake won't split, crack, rot, or decay, nor will it be damaged by pests or insects. Tando Shake siding is the ultimate in low-maintenance and high-performance.
RoughSawn Cedar SingleThe evenly-aligned shingles feature random mill saw marks and a long, subtle grain for a clean, classic look with a 6.5" exposure. The single-course profile minimizes waste during installation (especially around dormers and peaks).
