I saw plenty of pics of installations where they did work, but only for maybe 4ft down the roof. After that algae was growing again. It makes sense, because the zinc will get diluted more the farther down it goes. So, to protect the whole roof, you'd have to put them every 4ft or so down the whole roof. Which would look like hell. Copper, I didn't look into. |
