Roofing materials are constantly exposed to the elements, including rain, wind, snow, and UV rays from the sun. Over time, this exposure can cause significant damage to the shingles that protect your roof. Homeowners and contractors have long sought ways to prevent shingle damage and prolong the life of roofs. One effective solution that has gained attention is the use of copper roof strips. These strips, placed strategically on the roof, are believed to prevent the growth of moss, algae, and fungi, which can degrade shingles over time.
