What are the Best Wood Shingles for a House in the Tropics?
We recommend Wallaba Shingles, Teak Shingles or CCA Treated Cedar Shingles for houses located in tropical regions. While untreated wood is an excellent, long-lasting option for areas without high humidity, Wallaba, Teak and CCA Treated Shingles have elements which allow them to hold up better against the high humidity and moisture in the tropics.
