They bring a local commitment to quality and innovation to their roofing products, including advanced features like NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt for enhanced flexibility, durability, and impact resistance.
Algae Resistance: Algae-resistant 3M™ Copper Granules blend inconspicuously into the shingle’s color and help prevent unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth, which is particularly important in the damp climate of the Pacific Northwest where algae growth can be prevalent.
