Sandura® Shingles are manufactured from a prized wood species known as Wallaba. This abundant tropical hardwood is found in the lush forests of Guyana where the Guyana Forestry Commission regulates and oversees harvesting practices to sustain forests for future generations.

Although there are other brands of Shingles manufactured from Wallaba Tropical Hardwood, Sandura® has four distinctive differences setting it apart from the rest.

First, by enhancing the production techniques for Sandura® Shingles there is less waste of forest resources, creating greater sustainable harvesting and reducing negative effects on the rainforest environment.
A second difference is the innovative technology used in the manufacturing of Sandura® which is safer for our experienced craftsmen.
The third thing that sets Sandura® apart from all the rest is it offers consumers a wider range of shapes and styles and finally provides more uniform cuts with a lower manufacturing carbon footprint.

With an incredible Janka hardness of 2040 lb at 12% MC, Sandura® shingles have a natural resistance to decay. As the wood ages it turns into a beautiful Pantina Grey which provides a reflective surface on roofs acting as an insulator that repels solar heat and saves energy.
