The SCOTCHGARD Algae Resistant Roofing System

A roof that retains its natural beauty and performance helps increase your home’s overall value. No matter how beautiful your home may be, the presence of algae that cause unsightly black streaking could increase maintenance costs and reduce property values.

All roof types, including wood shakes, concrete and clay tile, colour steel and asphalt shingles are susceptible to algae infestation.

A Closer Look at Roof Algae

The black streaking typically found on homes in areas where moisture settles on shingles is not caused by mildew or fungus; it's roof algae.

The most common blue-green type has been identified by 3M scientists as Gleoecapsamagma. Algae spores are carried by the wind, which is why so many homes in the same neighbourhood can end up with this problem.
