Granted, any algae growing on the tile would cancel out the smog-eating effect that that the tile produced. But the tiles were being tested and marketed for a more southern climate than you are used to in the upper northeast, a more moist and fluid climate. Yes? Brian,

I'm sure that these roofs will still grow algae on them. Gloeocapsa magma seems to grow on any surface. I clean every type of roof surface out there. I have never found one that won't get the black streaks on them. We see it on tile, slate, asphalt, metal and other surfaces every day. All roofs require some type of cleaning maintenance and I'm sure that this one will not be any different. Brian Sounds interesting. I’m sure that these roofs will still grow algae on them.

I am trying to promote it on the web. It is tough because unlike most other industries roofers and contractors aren't on the web. Many people in this industry are stuck in their ways and don't like to try new things, be it technology or products. Thanks for promoting the roofing industry online.

Heavier duty Class 4 types of asphalt shingles and wood shake can qualify for a partial discount, as well. Except for qualifying metal roofs, premium reductions are not available for roofs that have been overlaid onto existing roofs.

This can help you save 10 to 15 percent off your air-conditioning bill come next summer.
