What Is Scotchgard™ Roof Protection?
Scotchgard™ Protector is an advanced algae-resistant technology developed by 3M and built directly into Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles.
It prevents the growth of blue-green algae that causes the dark streaks commonly seen on roofs throughout Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, and the Piedmont Triad.
Why Algae Is a Major Roofing Problem in Greensboro
Our climate creates the perfect environment for algae growth:
- High humidity most of the year
- Frequent rain and moisture retention
- Mature tree coverage across many neighborhoods
- North-facing roof slopes with limited sunlight
Without proper protection, algae slowly feeds on limestone filler in shingles, shortening roof life and permanently affecting curb appeal.
