BRAND:
Wallaba hardwood shingles have been in use for nearly a century. We created a unique
brand (Turada®) to help our customers identify our product, quality,
service and longevity. Using Turada® Hardwood Shingles will ensure
that your shingles are in compliance with international building standards.
STRENGTH & DURABILITY:
Turada® Hardwood Shingles are
world-renowned for being naturally resistant to moisture, insects and decay.
Turada® Hardwood Shingles have withstood category 5 hurricane winds
and have the highest fire resistance rating of any untreated wood shingle. The
natural strength of Wallaba wood allows it to be used in the manufacture of
transmission poles, marine pilings, and timbers for heavy construction.
ENVIRONMENT:
SSWP uses Wallaba logs which are over 24” in diameter, thereby ensuring that
only mature Wallaba trees are felled. Young Wallaba trees remain in the forest,
guaranteeing species availability in future generations. Turada®
Hardwood Shingles do not require chemical treatment, which
makes them an environmentally responsible, green building product. They also
weather over time to a beautiful silvery patina which results in a
reflective, cool roof. This helps reduce environmental heating and keeps homes
cooler.
GLOBAL DEMAND:
Turada® Hardwood Shingles are highly valued, specified by
architects worldwide, and distributed globally. Examples of projects that have
used Turada® Hardwood Shingles include prestigious resorts, hotels, and villas
in various countries such as Australia, South Africa, Mauritius, the Polynesian
Islands, the Middle East, the United States and throughout the Caribbean.
SHINGLE DESCRIPTION:
Length: 18"
Width: 3” to 9” (average 6”)
Butt Thickness: 5/2¼”
