When it comes to protecting your home and enhancing curb appeal, choosing the right roofing material is essential. One common issue homeowners face, especially in humid or shaded areas, is unsightly black streaks on shingles. These streaks are caused by algae growth, and while they may not immediately affect the integrity of your roof, they can drastically reduce the aesthetic value of your home. Fortunately, Atlas Roofing Shingles offers a cutting-edge solution with their Black Streak Guarantee, ensuring long-term beauty and durability for your roof. Let’s dive into how this guarantee works and why it’s a game-changer for homeowners.
The Problem: Algae Growth and Black Streaks
Algae, particularly Gloeocapsa Magma, is a type of bacteria that thrives in humid conditions. It often appears as dark streaks on roofing shingles, primarily on the north side of homes where moisture accumulates. While algae don’t directly damage the shingles, the streaks they cause can lower your home's curb appeal and property value. For homeowners who take pride in the appearance of their house, this is a major concern.
The Solution: Atlas Roofing Shingles with Scotchgard™ Protector
Atlas Roofing combats this issue by integrating Scotchgard™ Protector into their shingles. This innovation targets the root cause of black streaks—algae. Here's how it works:
Copper Granules: Atlas shingles contain 10% copper-infused granules that inhibit algae growth. Copper is known for its natural anti-algae properties, and by dispersing copper granules across the entire shingle surface, Atlas ensures even protection.
Uniform Coverage: Some shingles only have algae-resistant granules in specific spots, but Atlas shingles offer full-coverage protection. This uniform distribution of copper granules prevents algae from taking root and spreading across the roof.
Scotchgard™ Brand: Backed by 3M, the Scotchgard™ protector technology in Atlas shingles provides reliable, long-lasting protection against black streaks, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Atlas Roofing Shingles Black Streak Guarantee
The Black Streak Guarantee from Atlas Roofing is more than just a promise—it’s a proven solution that helps homeowners maintain the aesthetic value of their roofs. With the Scotchgard™ Protector, Atlas guarantees that your shingles will remain free of black algae streaks for the life of the shingles.
Lifetime Algae-Resistance Warranty: The Black Streak Guarantee assures homeowners that if black streaks caused by algae appear, Atlas Roofing will cover the cost of repair or replacement.
Peace of Mind: This guarantee not only adds value to your home but also provides peace of mind. With Atlas shingles, homeowners don’t need to worry about constant maintenance or unsightly roof discoloration.
Cost Efficiency: The inclusion of algae-resistant technology also reduces long-term maintenance costs. Regular cleaning to remove algae is not needed, which saves homeowners both time and money.
Additional Benefits of Atlas Roofing Shingles
In addition to the Black Streak Guarantee, Atlas Roofing shingles offer several other benefits:
Durability: These shingles are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rain, making them ideal for a variety of climates.
Energy Efficiency: Many Atlas shingles are ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they help reduce cooling costs by reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat.
Aesthetic Appeal: Atlas shingles come in a wide range of colors and styles, allowing homeowners to choose a roofing option that perfectly complements their home’s design.
Superior Warranty: Along with the Black Streak Guarantee, Atlas shingles are backed by strong warranties that protect your investment for years to come.
