Upon completion, you will have access to all-new digital assets, including exclusive homeowner-focused videos that you can download and use on your website and social media.

In Case You Missed It

This updated training will show you the science behind our new Pinnacle® Sun and Pinnacle® Impact shingles, which feature all the benefits of our popular Pinnacle® Pristine shingle — Scotchgard™ Protector, HP42® technology, 130 mph wind resistance and lifetime limited warranty — plus additional innovation from 3M.

Made with 3M™ Cool Granules, our Pinnacle® Sun shingles reflect solar heat away from the roof, helping to keep a home's interior temperature more comfortable, allowing its cooling system to run more efficiently, resulting in lower energy costs.

In fact, Pinnacle® Sun shingles meet the Solar Reflective Index (SRI) standards of the Cool Roof Rating Council and may comply with city and state building codes for reflectivity, making them especially effective in climates with year-round cooling needs.

Inspired by the power of trees, both of our newest Pinnacle shingles feature 3M™ Smog-Reducing Granules, which are formulated with a photocatalytic coating that, when activated by sunlight, allows the granules to transform smog into water-soluble ions, helping to improve air quality.

On an average-sized roof, Pinnacle® Sun and Pinnacle® Impact have the smog-fighting capability of 2-3 trees.

In addition, our Class 4-rated Pinnacle® Impact shingles are made to provide superior hail resistance, making them a great choice for homes in storm-prone areas.

A Distinctive Designation

By completing the new 3M™ Roofing Technology Specialist training, you'll have a huge advantage over your competition!

The majority of your current customers, as well as potential customers, are already familiar with 3M™ products — particularly Scotchgard™.
