Why are roofs so prone to lichen, moss and algae?
Ever wondered why moss grows on roofs? Well here are some reasons and of course, buy one of our high-quality self-cleaning roof coatings and say goodbye to dirty, damp roofs.
- Spores are picked up by birds and trees and brought to your roof on the wind.
- Frequent rainfall and changes in temperature create the right breeding ground for fungus
- Different areas of your roof are sheltered at different times of the day, this means that dew does not evaporate as quickly on the north, north-west side of the roof. This morning moisture feeds the fungus growing on your roof whereas the other sections of the roof dry quickly killing off the moss and lichen.
Roof cleaning with a pressure washer and a fungicidal roof cleaner will eliminate the problems caused by the above reducing the weight of the water filled moss on the roof and dramatically improving the appearance of the roof tiles.
Or you can coat your roof with one of our self-cleaning roof coatings, meaning you only ever need to clean you roof when you want to coat it and with our long lasting roof coatings you only need to do that every 10 years!
