Black mold on Asphalt Shingles
Black mold on asphalt shingles is ugly. You clean it and it returns year after year. In reality what you are seeing is not black mold but a bacteria that is called gloeocapsa-magma.
Granted some of it could be mold but what is spreading like wildfire is gleocapsa-magma.
When you are cleaning your house,your roof should be part of the regimen.Not an easy task but necessary.Simix can stop that.
This bacteria is actually feeding off of your roof and it is crucial that you remove it or it will damage your roof.
It didn't start that way, as a matter of fact it stayed clean for years but now has become a yearly problem.
The reason for that is the bacteria probably blew over from a neighbors house and set up shop. These large colonies live and die and what you are seeing is the dead carcass of a bacterium. The new bacteria feed off of their dead.
With self cleaning coatings applied to the asphalt shingle, you will never see black mold again.
One thing for sure you do not want to walk on your barrel tile as you could easily damage it.
A dirty roof sticks out like a sore thumb, and it can actually “infect” your neighbors roof by spreading airborne spores from the algae growing on it.
Just as a neighbors weeds can blow into your yard, your algae infested roof can actually spread the algae infestation to your neighbors place.
That’s why the Homeowners Association sends out nasty letters!
Black mold on asphalt shingles being removed with sunlight
In the images below you see a barrel tile roof that was treated with self cleaning titanium dioxide. It took ninety days for it to get clean but if sprayed once a year you will never see black mold on asphalt shingle roof or for that matter any other roofing or building structure.
The best part is it is sprayed from the ground so no walking on those fragile tiles.
Cleaning asphalt shingle is as easy as spraying titanium dioxide from the ground and let it gently and microscopically clean the roof.
Sure it takes time and you do not get instant results but you also avoid damaging your fragile roof.
Think about it. Your barrel tile roof is like anything else.
You would never let your car get that dirty. You would wash your car periodically to keep it clean. With nano titanium dioxide you can do the same thing with your roof once a year and never worry about the black ugly again.
No pressure washing. By the way pressure washing companies hate this technology because every treated roof is one less customer.

How does Ti02 Work?
Titanium dioxide works through the process of what is called photo catalysis. This process was discovered in the 1970's and is now in recent history being monetized by a handful of companies around the world.
Titanium dioxide when exposed to UV light makes microscopic hydrogen peroxide without destroying the titanium dioxide itself. It basically sweats hydrogen peroxide which is an aggressive oxidizer.
The best part of the coatings is that they are safe on plants so you can spray your roof and be confident that there will be no harm to your landscaping and it makes black mold on asphalt shingles a thing of the past.
