What are some moss and algae

What are mosses

Mosses are small plants in large amounts and can grow together.

Mosses dont need land base from which they can provide necessary moisture.

With this feature we can find mosses back anywhere as on the roof, gable, vowels, driveways and walls. The emergence of a layer of moss on your roof is not unusual.

Seeds are justified by the wind on your roof with a lack of sunlight and adequate moisture for growing moss the ideal place. Wherever your roof or even the least sunlight will get the most moss grow.

With the presence of moss roofs stays wet longer thus making it susceptible to fungus, therefore it is also advisable to carry out thede-mossing of roofs in a professional way.

What are algae

Algae is a generic term for a lower multiple and specific group of plants that vary in size from small to quite large. The algae on your roof, pans etc. are mostly single-celled plants. They form a thin layer on roofs, pavers or walls that are visible as green slime. These appear more humid places, in the shade of trees, buildings, etc..
The algae itself do not damage the roofing. Algae get their nutrients from the air just like the moss.

Why must algae on your roofing, tiles, etc.. be contested ?

Algae settle and form a thin layer that holds moisture and dust and with little sunlight is the ideal substrate for mosses. By the algae layer remains moist longer and your roof is in itself more sensitive to fungi that affect the roof.

Why do these mosses / algae on my roof come from

The cause consists of several factors

The wind is blowing on your roof ensures that the dust entrained in part on your roof and stays mainly between the joints / crevices of securing roofing, in combination with low moisture and sunlight is an ideal breeding ground for moss and algae. There is also growing more moss on the roofs of your home that receive the least sunlight. These areas remain moist longer and will not reach the required temperatures to moskiemen to destroy. Most mosses die because at temperatures above 70 ° C. Roofs which get much sun in summer easily reach this temperature and thus will also exhibit less moss.

The more these factors are found, the faster algae and moss will develop:

If you live among greenery and trees.
On a side where no sun can reach the surface.
By acid rain, dirt in the air.
With porous and older tiles.

Moss always comes back, but if the problem is addressed in a timely and professional way, and they use the right products you can enjoy a nice moss free roof with the certainty that life of the roof will also greatly expands.
