Quebec City, Quebec – Building on a successful Midwest collaboration, Tando Composites has expanded its partnership with Palmer-Donavin across the Southeast. Over the past twelve months, Palmer-Donavin has added Tando Composites’ portfolio to its branches in Knoxville, TN; Duncan, SC; Darlington, SC; Raleigh, NC; and Richmond, VA. All locations will carry Beach House Shake, the authentic composite shingle, and TandoStone, the #1 brand of composite stone.
“We are excited to build on our long-standing partnership with Palmer-Donavin,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products, parent company of Tando Composites. “Palmer-Donavin consistently delivers world-class, market-driven solutions and together we’re meeting rising demand for composite cladding in the Southeast market.”
“Our partnership with Tando Composites has delivered strong results in the Midwest and expanding into the Southeast was a natural next step,” said Josh Thompson, Vice President of Product Management, Palmer-Donavin. “Their composite cladding products deliver the realistic look of cedar shingles, stone, and brick with high performance, and easy installation – all attributes that our customers demand.”
Unlike natural cedar, Beach House Shake maintains its authentic appearance from installation through the life of the home. Its advanced composite technology delivers architectural precision, simplifies installation, and provides product certification for Miami-Dade County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Beach House Shake is offered in four distinctive styles, enhancing curb appeal for any structure. Palmer-Donavin will also offer the new Beach House Shake Rustic Collection when it launches in Spring 2026.
TandoStone is a preferred choice for siding installers seeking a strong, beautiful, and easy-to-install stone alternative to traditional stone, stone veneer, and painted concrete. Complementing a wide range of exterior aesthetics, TandoStone’s Stacked Stone is a dry-stack look without grout lines while its Creek Ledgestone profile provides the look of hand-laid stones and visible grout lines. TandoStone’s newest line, ProBrick, is a classic brick profile available in two colors – Madeira, a classic red and Racinette, a brown, earthy tone. All TandoStone products install with standard siding tools in a fraction of the time required for traditional stone applications.
