What Tando does
Tando Composites is a private building-products brand and division of Derby Building Products focused on composite exterior cladding. It serves professional building-material dealers, lumberyards, contractors, builders, and homeowners primarily across the United States and Canada, with use cases concentrated in residential exteriors, coastal homes, second homes, cedar-shingle replacement markets, and mixed-material exterior applications.
The company's core products are Beach House Shake and TandoStone. Beach House Shake is a composite shingle product designed to replicate natural cedar aesthetics while installing more than 5x faster than natural cedar shingles with common nail guns. TandoStone is a lightweight composite stone cladding product that installs like traditional siding using standard siding tools, without mortar, adhesive, or specialized subcontractors. Both products are positioned around engineered performance, reduced installation complexity, ICC and CCMC code approvals, and a 50-Year Performance Plus Limited Warranty; in 2026 the company launched the Beach House Shake Rustic Collection as an expansion of the Beach House Shake line.
Tando monetizes through one-time sales of composite cladding products distributed via professional dealers, lumberyards, and wholesale/channel partners rather than a direct recurring software model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears quote-based through the dealer network. Commercial reach is supported by a dealer program, distributor relationships such as Palmer-Donavin, sample ordering, project galleries and case studies, social channels, and a third-party Renoworks Visualizer integration used to support product selection and specification.
