Turada ® Hardwood Shingles

THE WOOD

Turada® Hardwood Shingles are manufactured by Superior Shingles and Wood Products (SSWP) in Guyana, South America. They are produced from sustainably harvested Wallaba logs. Wallaba is the most abundant timber species growing on the “White Sands Forest Belt” that stretches midway across the three Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana). SSWP uses logs which are over 24″ in diameter, thereby ensuring that only mature Wallaba trees are felled. Young Wallaba trees remain in the forest, guaranteeing species availability in future generations.
