April 1, 2009

TAMKO Building Products

Lamarite Shake Composite Shingles emulate the organic beauty of real wood shake without the performance issues. Lamarite Shake is listed for UL Class A fire and wind resistance, Class 4 impact resistance and comes with a 50-year limited warranty.

Certi-Split Red Cedar Shakes
