Protect Your Home With Streak-resistant Technology

By Malarkey Roofing Products. 

Learn about these Malarkey roofing shingles made with algae-resistant copper granules that extend a roof’s lifecycle. 

Malarkey Roofing Products® specifically designs their polymer modified asphalt granules for the surrounding climate. For roofs in humid and moisture-ridden areas, algae growth is a common concern, often causing black streaks on roofing shingles. Algae growth also can alter the color of your roofing shingle and make your roof appear aged. To combat these issues, Malarkey utilizes specialized granules that offer benefits to both a homeowner and the environment.  

Streak Resist™ Technology is implemented on Malarkey granules for roofs located in humid climates. These particularized shingles are made with algae-resistant copper granules that both maintain the aesthetic appearance of the roof and reduce the need to clean the roof. By resisting black streaks caused by algae, the shingles retain their vibrant hues in concert with the rest of the home’s exterior. 

Also available to protect homes from unwanted algae growth are Malarkey shingles featuring Scotchgard™ Protector from 3M™. These shingles similarly feature 3M™ Copper Roofing Granules. In 1994, Malarkey Roofing Products® became the first manufacturer to offer Scotchgard™ Protector in a shingle. Learn more about the history and scientific development of these granules in this video. 

Granules offering algae defense, solar reflectivity and color retention are all valuable contributions to the overall performance of the roofing shingle. To make sure these granules stay in place, Malarkey’s polymer modified asphalts such as Nexgen™ and Flexor™, are designed to respond positively to environmental temperature fluctuations.
