Premium Nano Coatings & Sealants for Central Florida | Authorized Reseller & Installer of Gonano.
Gonano is the first and only North American company to bring to market a sealant that replaces all sealants. Having said this, the technology behind Gonano spans decades and has gone through critical scientific and peer review. See why nanosilica replaces all other traditional asphalt shingle roofs for its durability and life-cycle cost savings.
Gonano has conducted extensive testing on its shingle products to evaluate their efficacy, investing over $500,000 in rigorous assessments. Tests conducted by CNETE, Green Center and UL evaluated various performance metrics, including impact resistance, granule loss, tear strength, fire resistance, wind resistance, and molecular aging, ensuring the highest standards for product performance and durability.
Gonano offers a up to a 15 year limited warranty based on the age, current condition and geographic location of your roof. This warranty covers defects, peeling, leaks, and potential insurer-required replacements. Rest easy knowing your roof is protected above and beyond with Gonano.
Nanotechnology is the science of engineering and technology at the nanoscale. As a reference point, the thickness of a sheet of paper is about 150,000 nanometers.
Ranging from 40 to 60 nanometers in size, the nanoparticles we use are infinitely microscopic. This is what allows them to penetrate materials to protect them from the inside.
Unlike a coating or paint that creates a protective layer on the surface, our nanosealers act on the molecular structure of materials to modify and strengthen them.
Gonano’s asphalt enhancement sealant has been validated by the scientific community.
Acts as an isolated, protective layer
Typical repair on microscale, adds layer of oil
Less durable, flexible and resilient to aging due to environmental conditions
Modifies the mechanical properties of asphalt
Nanoscale (1000X smaller than a micro meter) forms precise shapes into asphalt pores
Bonds to each asphalt shingle, and each shingle to the other
Elastic strain resilience, high tensile strength to pressure and load, fracture aversion.
Impervious to moisture infiltration.
Endures greater cycles and seasons of stress.
The Result: Research shows one treatment of GoNano extends the average roof’s lifespan by 10 to 15 years.
Once modified, the new structural form of the asphalt enhances its durability, specifically its flexibility, hydrophoby, and anti-aging performance.
Gonano's technology doesn’t add a protective layer, like traditional sealants, nor does it simply replace lost oil: it modifies and enhances the molecular structure of asphalt shingles permanently.
Modifies the molecular structure of asphalt shingles
After application, reaction occurs with each shingle
During reaction, both organic and inorganic material create new chemicals links, called S1 particles
S1 particles enter into asphalt pores and moves outward, connecting with other shingles
Gonano's technology fuses at the molecular level with the organic and inorganic material of the shingle, creating new chemical bonds (SI particles) linking the different elements of the shingle together. This chemical bonding permanently changes the molecular structure of the asphalt shingle from the inside out.
Increased resistance to hail storms and high winds
Cleans and prevents the growth of algae
Prevention and reduction of walter infiltration
Preserving and regenerating shingle color
Maintaining granule composition
Effective evacuation of ice and snow
Similar to silica, an inorganic nanomaterial, composed of high silica density.
Synthetically created by precipitation, hydrothermal/solvothermal, or thermal reduction processes.
Modification occurs from pozzolanic reactivity (pore-filling).
Nanosilica is an inorganic nanomaterial, similar to silica, but it is characterized by high silica density (99%). It must be synthetically created through one of three processes: the precipitation pathway (silica reacts in a solvent through purification and dispersion), the hydrothermal/solvothermal pathway (silica goes through precipitation, high pressure and temperature conditions), or thermal reduction (silica is placed in temperatures of up to 1700°C to 2300°C). Once nanosilica is formed, its improved performance is attributed to its pozzolanic reactivity (the chemical reaction that occurs for pore-filing).
Roof Classes and Certification
Least resistant, can withstand at most a 1.25-inch steel ball test.
Can withstand at most a 1.5-inch steel ball test.
Can withstand at most a 1.75-inch steel ball test.
Highest resistance, can withstand up to a 2-inch steel ball test.
Classifications for shingled roofs are put through a standardized process by Underwriters Laboratories to determine a roof’s impact resistance to falling objects, emulating a hailstorm.
There are four categories: Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4, in order of least resistant to most resistant. In order for Gonano to earn a Class 4 certification, a 50.88mm(2-in) diameter steel ball was dropped from 20 feet above a vulnerable section of a shingled roof. Following these tests, roofs showed no signs of damage and/or cracking.
A Class 3 steel ball is smaller by a quarter of an inch in diameter, and so on for Classes 2 and 1. Class 4 is shown to have the highest impact resistance, a low loss of granules and a lifespan of 22 to 25 years. The less effective Class 1 has little-to-no impact resistance with a higher loss of granules and decade-shorter lifespan. One treatment from Gonano’s sealant transforms Class 1 shingles into Class 3, and two treatments into Class 4.
Check out the answers to our most frequently asked questions below.
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 5 years old) however our Gonano Revive product is perfect for older roofs (from 6 to 20 years). The sooner you apply Gonano Shingle Saver or Revive, the sooner you benefit from Gonano’s anti-aging properties.
The cost of a Gonano treatment depends on several factors, including your location, the complexity of your roof, and its current condition. Features like the pitch of your roof, gables, and overall accessibility can also impact pricing. For an accurate quote tailored to your home, we recommend reaching out to us for a free roof assessment.
Depends on the product but for Shingle Saver (for asphalt shingles) is 15 years. Revive is guaranteed for 10 years, Bio-Boost 5 years and 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.
Once the treatment has penetrated the first layer of roofing (about two 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 on 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 afterward 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, nanosilica 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).
One treatment is effective, but applying two treatments will enhance the following aspects:
1. Hailstorm resistance.
2. Wind resistance.
3. Water infiltration resistance.
4. The hypothetical lifespan
(Please note that the effects of two applications have not been scientifically tested yet, but it is being considered).
From Key West to Seattle, Fort Worth to Nantucket, our technology has proven its effectiveness on thousands of roofs just like yours.
