CONSUMER ALERT!

Be extremely cautious of cheap wallaba shingles being offered for sale.

There are some important factors to consider about the grade of shingles which can cause the roof to leak.

NOT ALL WALLABA SHINGLES ARE ALIKE

It is important to understand the grade defects in Wallaba shingles or wood shingles in general. If defective shingles are installed on roofs it can lead to leaks within months or even a few years after installation. Sandura® Wallaba Shingles represent only Premium Grade Wallaba Shingles.

Wood is a natural product which has inherent defects in the tree. After the tree is cut, the log is converted to shingles. During the conversion process from logs to shingles there are many defects within the log which can become part of the finished product. Many architects, contractors, installers and home owners may not be familiar with such defects which can compromise the integrity of the roof.

Possible Defects To Be Aware Of In Wood Shingles

How to verify you are receiving the correct amount of shingles per Bundle or Square:

Wallaba Shingles are typically packaged to have 5 bundles per square. One square = 100 SF Coverage. Therefore, each bundle should provide 20 SF roof coverage (10’x10’ area).
