In addition, Pinnacle Pristine’s Sweet Spot includes two FASTAC® sealant lines that adhere quickly and ensure a strong, long-lasting seal. HP Technology even provides Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles with a 130 mph rated high-wind warranty while still following a standard four-nail application. That’s a third less nails required for every roof. And Pinnacle Pristine shingles come standard with Scotchgard™ Protector to defend against algae streaks and help retain original color.
