New roofing shingles are enhanced to reflect light, reduce stains

Modern roofing shingles are enhanced to improve the aesthetics of a house while reflecting light and eliminating the growth of fungus. Copper pellets embedded in many new types of shingles eliminate fungus while other shingles have been enhanced with a component of UV reflection so they can better reflect sunlight. Meanwhile, roofing experts recommend focusing on proper ventilation with ridge or powered vents to reduce heat inside a home.
