With the help of Atlas shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector, you can make sure every first impression is a good one because your roof remains free of black streaks caused by algae and your shingle color continues to shine.

That’s The Power Of Scotchgard Protectorįirst impressions are everything. Shingles made with the power of Scotchgard Protector help you keep a well-maintained, clean-looking roof that preserves your home’s value for years to come. While most algae-resistant roof shingles have a 3 percent to 5 percent blend of copper granules, Atlas shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector have a minimum 10 percent blend of evenly distributed 3M copper granules among standard colored granules. The Truth: Copper is proven to resist algae. How Does Scotchgard Protector Work?Īlmost every shingle manufacturer offers some type of algae-resistant shingle (ARS), but it’s not the same as shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector. It’s the best way to avoid limiting your color options while helping prevent the ugly black streaks caused by algae. On the other hand, shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector are available in different styles (slate-look or architectural) and can be found in a wide range of colors (from light to dark). Algae are often visible in streaks or a checkerboard-like pattern, which can be spotted on any shade of shingle. The Truth: Unless you know of a company that specifically offers “algae stain black,” simply picking a dark-colored shingle is not the solution. Instead of worrying about algae, some homeowners believe going with a dark-colored shingle will avoid the ugly appearance. A Dark-Colored Shingle Would Hide The Algae Stains, Right? You get peace-of-mind protection that your roof will maintain its original color, without washing (or any form of algae cleaning), year after year. Atlas shingles designed with the power of Scotchgard Protector have a Lifetime Algae Resistance Limited Warranty against the black streaks caused by algae. Prevention is the key to maintaining your home’s beautiful appearance.

Furthermore, washing becomes a recurring expense because algae always grows back. In addition to the algae, granules (as well as your shingle color and UV protection) will wash right off your roof. The Truth: Pressure washing, even at the lightest settings, is not the best option. Many companies advertise pressure-washing services for roofs, so maybe you can negotiate a good deal to have a crew wash away your problems. The logical step after seeing algae on your roof is to clean it up. Here’s the truth about the benefits of Atlas shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector: Can’t I Just Wash The Algae Off My Roof? Easily spread by the wind and thriving wherever moisture can be found, algae can quickly take over your roof and leave you with a visual that is anything but stunning.īut instead of saying goodbye to curb appeal, you can protect the beauty and preserve the value of your home with the help of Atlas shingles featuring Scotchgard™ Protector - the only shingles with the Atlas Lifetime Algae Resistance Limited Warranty against the black streaks caused by algae. If first impressions are everything, and they are, you don’t want the impression of your home marred by ugly black streaks on your roof caused by algae.
