In certain moist areas, algae can grow on shingles. Although the algae has no proven effect on shingle life, it does stain or discolor the shingle. Commonly (and usually incorrectly) called fungus, this algae staining can be unattractive. The algae-containing stains can be dramatically reduced by the use of special copper granules. Copper-containing granules are mixed with colored granules during the manufacturing process. The effect is to produce an environmentally safe cuprous oxide wash which is dispersed by rain or other moisture. The wash inhibits growth of algae and the resulting stains.
