That’s algae, and it’s a common eyesore on roofing throughout North America. CertainTeed’s StreakFighter technology uses the natural anti-algae properties of copper-containing surface granules to help prevent algae from forming on shingles, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming algae cleaning and maintenance while helping your roof maintain its curb appeal for years to come. CertaSeal ® is a fast-activating modified asphalt sealant with a 20-year record of proven performance. Designed to seal shingles together upon installation, it protects roofs from wind uplift and shingle blow-off so that homes stay safe and dry. It’s also engineered to remain flexible after installation, unlike harder sealants that can dry out and crack over time. Diagram for illustrative purposes only.

A CertainTeed Integrity Roof System combines key elements that help ensure you have a well-built roof for long-lasting performance. 1. Waterproofing Underlayment The first step in your defense against the elements. Self-adhering underlayment is installed at vulnerable areas of your roof to help prevent leaks from wind-driven rain and ice dams. 2. Water-Resistant Underlayment Provides a protective layer over the roof deck and acts as a secondary barrier against leaks. 3. Starter Shingles Starter Shingles are the first course of shingles that are installed and designed to work in tandem with the roof shingles above for optimal shingle sealing and performance. 4. Shingles Choose from a variety of Good-Better-Best styles to complement any roof design and fit your budget. 5. Ventilation A roof that breathes is shown to perform better and last longer. Ridge Vents, in combination with Intake Vents, allow air to flow on the underside of your roof deck, keeping the attic cooler in the summer and drier in the winter. 6. Hip & Ridge Caps Available in numerous profiles, these accessories are used on the roof’s hip and ridge lines for a distinctive finishing touch to your new roof.
