Algae Danger Zones


Algae are seen on roofs in over 80% of the United States. Appearing first on the north slope of a roof, where extra shade and moisture support its growth, algae’s windborne spores can quickly spread from shingle to shingle and rooftop to rooftop. In at-risk areas, the Scotchgard™ Algae Resistant Roofing System logo on quality asphalt shingle brands is your assurance of built-in long-term algae and stain resistance.
