Atlas Roofing Corporation is proud to introduce an exciting new feature to the StormMaster, Pinnacle, and Pro-Cut shingle families. Scotchgard™ Protector from 3M empowers Atlas shingles with the proven science of copper granules to resist the ugly staining and streaking of algae. Atlas is proud to offer homeowners a Lifetime Limited Warranty against algae growth, giving lasting aesthetic protection for one of the most important investments anyone will ever make for their house.
Moderate to severe algae is a problem in 80% of the United States. Algae stained roofs cause unsightly black streaks and prematurely age the aesthetic quality of roofs of all types. That is a big problem for one of our largest investments, our home! Roofs today are 60% or more of what’s visible from the curb! With that much of a home’s curb appeal invested in the roof, homeowners certainly don’t want an eye sore with ugly black stains and streaks. Atlas shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector from 3M addresses one of the largest aesthetic issues in asphalt shingle roofing today. Algae growth starts on the roof where gaps in copper granule coverage allow spores to start “feeding” on moisture. Algae then spreads on the roof and through the air, so even if this problem does not appear on your roof today, it likely will soon. A new roof is a huge investment for the most visible component of the home’s exterior. At the end of the day, what good is a LIFETIME shingle if it doesn’t LOOK good after only a few years?
Atlas is the only manufacturer to offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty against the staining and streaking of algae. Atlas shingles featuring Scotchgard™ Protector undergo stringent daily third party testing, ensuring adequate copper granule content. This ensures a 10% blend of copper granules across the entire shingle, meeting stringent Scotchgard™ Protector brand usage guidelines. If it doesn’t say Scotchgard™ Protector, you don’t know what’s in it! The color you choose is the color you keep!
