Tropical Hardwood Shingles (Wallaba)

Wallaba is a dense, tropical hardwood that has been used for over a century to make many products including roofing shingles, transmission poles, fence posts, external cladding, etc. The hardwood shingle is the perfect roofing solution for island and sea environments as it won’t rust and is the best system in hurricane conditions as each individual shingle is nailed twice and each layer of shingle interlocks forming an almost invincible roof covering with good installation.

Sandura Wallaba Shingles are manufactured from Wallaba wood at our supplier’s factory in South America. Cedar and other wood shingles need to be treated with chemicals to extend their life.  Sandura Wallaba Shingles need no such treatment, allowing it to be a natural environmentally friendly product, with strength properties superior to any other wood shingles.
