The Pinnacle of Excellence: Wallaba Hardwood Shingles

Crafted in Suriname in the heart of South America, Wallaba Hardwood Shingles epitomize quality and sustainability. Sourced from responsibly harvested Wallaba logs, this remarkable wood species thrives abundantly along the “White Sands Forest Belt” spanning the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana). At TLS Shingles, we prioritize sustainability by selecting logs with a diameter exceeding 24 inches, ensuring that only mature Wallaba trees are harvested, while young ones continue to flourish in the forest for generations to come.

TLS shingles stands as a robust and visually appealing hardwood, surpassing the strength of traditional red cedar or treated pine singles. The brand epitomizes user-friendly features, being both easy to handle and install. Wallaba Hardwood Shingles boast impressive attributes:

  • Natural resistance to insects and decay
  • Endurance against category 5 hurricane winds
  • The highest fire rating among wood shingles
  • A lifespan extending beyond 50 years.

Environmental Responsibility

Choosing Wallaba Hardwood Shingles is not just a practical decision; it’s an environmentally conscious one. These shingles require no chemical treatment, aligning with green building principles. Over time, they gracefully weather to a beautiful silver-gray, contributing to a reflective, cool roof. This not only enhances the aesthetics but also helps mitigate environmental heating, reducing cooling costs.
