It isn’t so much the AGE that matters but rather the CURRENT CONDITION of a roof. You will of course benefit greatly from applying GoNano Shingle Saver to a younger roof (up to 12 years old); however, our GoNano Revive product is perfect for older roofs (from 10 to 25 years). The sooner you apply GoNano Shingle Saver or Revive, the sooner you benefit from the anti-aging properties.
Pricing will depend on where you live and the condition of your surfaces. Some of our resellers have higher costs related to their geo-market, but having said this, our treatment costs on average, have a starting price of less than two-dollars per sqft., which is an industry low.
Depends on the product but for Shingle Saver (for asphalt shingles) is up to 15 years. Revive, Concrete and Wood Saver is up to 10 years.
The treatments applied by our certified partners are guaranteed for a period that can vary according to the type and condition of the surfaces at the time of installation. The warranty is fully transferable in the event of the sale of your home.
Yes, for the better.
The treatment helps restore the original appearance of your roof, while modifying and improving it.
None whatsoever! Because GoNano is classified as a penetrant, it has unrivaled breathability in tough humid conditions.
Once the treatment has penetrated the first layer of roofing (approx. 2-hours after application), rain makes absolutely no difference.
Science at the nanoscale.
One meter is equivalent to one billion nanometers. To put it in simpler terms, 1 Nano particle is 30,000 times smaller than a human hair! Nanotechnology is science, engineering and technology performed on particles ranging from 1 to 150 nanometers, which makes it infinitely small.
Several centuries.
Even though nanoscience is fairly recent, in the Middle Ages nanoparticles were used to dye glass. Today, we use it in a scientific way to benefit from the superior properties of nanoparticles across multiple applications.
No! GoNano does NOT void any of the current shingle manufacturer warranties. We have undertaken a comprehensive legal assessment with our law firm to confirm this for the leading shingle manufacturers such as IKO, Owens Corning, BP, and GAF.
Yes, we will do small repairs such as replacing shingles that are lost, broken or have become loose.
Our nanotechnology has been proven by top-notch American institutions to make sure it’s the real deal:
Tested under Impact Resistance Standard (UL2218)
Tested under Fire Proofing Standard (UL790)
Tested under Great Winds Standard (ASTM D3161)
We would only require soft washing before applying GoNano to a roof when there is heavy algae or moss growth that has rooted into the shingles. However, apart from these situations, soft washing before applying GoNano is mainly for aesthetic reasons, as clients often want their roof to look new. It’s important to note that dirt will not affect the performance of a GoNano application. However, once GoNano is applied, soft washing afterwards will no longer be effective at removing stains, and the bleach formula used in soft washing could eventually impact the integrity of the GoNano application. Therefore, we strongly recommend soft washing a dirty roof beforehand.
Many of our clients have successfully obtained approval from their insurance companies to use GoNano as a solution to extend the life of their roofs, delaying the need for a full roof replacement. While it does depend on the specific case, all one needs to do is contact their insurer and discuss the GoNano option. Most insurance companies are now aware of our product and recognize the benefits of applying GoNano to prolong a roof’s lifespan.
The water beading effect will diminish after about 5-8 years, depending on the local weather conditions, but this does not impact the product’s performance. The product continues to perform well throughout the entire 10-15 year period.
Yes! All of our products reflect UV rays to limit heat absorption, slow aging and prevent discoloration.
No! GoNano does NOT change fire susceptibility, as tested by UL Standards under Fire standard UL790 (Class A shingles remain Class A).
(See UL Standards – Fireproofing – Standard 790
One treatment will increase residential roofs’ lifespan by 10 to 15 years, and therefore does not need to be applied again, though we could increase even further the added lifespan by applying a second treatment halfway through the established added lifespan for the roof in question (though again, no scientific testing was conducted on the lifespan effect of 2 treatments, but that is also currently in development).
No. One treatment is effective, and will enhance the following aspects:
1. Hailstorm resistance.
2. Wind resistance.
3. Water infiltration resistance.
4. The hydrophobic lifespan.
(Please note that the effects of two applications have not been scientifically tested yet, but it is being considered).
