Nanoscale protection

More than asurface coating.

GoNano uses particles approximately 40–60 nanometres in size. Their small scale allows them to enter material pores and interact with the shingle matrix rather than simply sitting on top as an isolated layer. The treatment is also designed to help protect qualifying shingles from damaging UV exposure and weather-related aging. By helping the shingles become hydrophobic, it reduces water absorption and provides added protection against repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Backed by science

Aboutnanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is science and engineering performed at the nanoscale. For perspective, a sheet of paper is approximately 100,000 nanometres thick.

GoNano uses particles approximately 40–60 nanometres in size. Their microscopic scale allows them to enter material pores and interact with qualifying asphalt shingles from within.

Unlike paint or a conventional coating that creates a layer on the surface, GoNano is designed to interact with the shingle matrix and modify performance at the molecular level.

GoNano advantages: improved flexibility, hydrophobic performance and adaptable fatigue life

Protect before visible decline

Is your roof still in good condition?Now is the time to protect it.

Preventive roof treatment is most effective before shingles become brittle or show advanced signs of aging. Applying GoNano NuROOF to a qualifying roof earlier can help preserve its performance and extend its useful life.

Once significant deterioration or damage develops, treatment may no longer be suitable—and repairs or replacement could become necessary.

Permanent structure modification

The GoNanoEffect

01. Modifies the molecular structure of asphalt shingles.

02. A reaction occurs within each qualifying shingle after application.

03. Organic and inorganic materials create new chemical links called Si particles.

04. Si particles enter asphalt pores and move outward, connecting with adjacent shingles.

The result

A unified barrier againstenvironmental stress.

GoNano technology changes how roof protection works. Traditional surface sealants primarily sit on top of the material. GoNano is designed to work deeper within qualifying asphalt shingles, where chemical reactions create silicon-based links that help stabilize the shingle structure and support granule bonding.

This inside-out protection helps create a stronger defence against moisture, UV exposure, temperature changes and other environmental stressors—supporting longer roof performance and potentially delaying premature replacement.

Answers to your questions

GoNano NuROOF FAQ

Review the answers to our most frequently asked questions below. Final suitability, preparation and warranty terms are always confirmed through your Roof Health Assessment and written action plan.

When should I apply GoNano technology to my roof?+

Condition matters more than age. Qualifying newer roofs may benefit from preventative Fortify, while qualifying aging roofs may suit Revive or Bio-Boost. Earlier treatment can help preserve performance before shingles become brittle or show advanced deterioration. A FREE Roof Health Assessment determines candidacy.

How much does a GoNano treatment cost?+

Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, complexity, accessibility, preparation requirements, product selection and current condition. After your FREE Roof Health Assessment, Refined Surfaces provides a written recommendation and project-specific quote.

How do I know whether my roof qualifies?+

A FREE Roof Health Assessment documents shingle condition, structural concerns, required repairs and the treatment system your roof may qualify for. Treatment is intended for aging-but-sound asphalt-shingle roofs—not failed roofs.

What warranty options are available?+

Coverage depends on the selected product, coat count, roof condition and eligibility. Qualifying Fortify, Revive and Bio-Boost installations may include different manufacturer-backed coverage periods. Exact terms and transferability are confirmed in your written treatment plan and warranty documentation.

Will treatment change the roof’s appearance?+

It can refresh the appearance of qualifying shingles, but results vary with roof age, colour, staining and condition. Refined Surfaces reviews realistic expectations before application.

What effect would rain have on the treatment?+

The treatment requires an appropriate application and initial absorption window. Weather conditions are reviewed before installation, and work may be rescheduled when rain could affect the process. After proper application and absorption, normal rainfall should not affect the completed treatment.

What is nanotechnology?+

Nanotechnology works with materials at an extremely small scale. GoNano uses particles approximately 40–60 nanometres in size, allowing them to enter material pores and interact with the shingle matrix rather than simply sitting on top.

How long has nanotechnology been used?+

Nanomaterials have appeared in human-made materials for centuries, including coloured glass. Modern nanoscience uses controlled engineering and testing to apply nanoscale properties across many industries and materials.

Could treatment affect my existing shingle warranty?+

Warranty terms vary by manufacturer, product and roof. Treatment should never be assumed to preserve or void coverage automatically. Refined Surfaces recommends reviewing your written shingle warranty and confirming any concerns with the manufacturer before proceeding.

Would you complete repairs before treatment?+

Yes, when required. Missing, broken or loose shingles, nail pops and minor flashing concerns should be addressed before treatment. Larger defects or a failed roof may require a different solution.

What testing supports the technology?+

GoNano reports independent testing against recognized standards including UL 2218 impact resistance, ASTM D3161 wind resistance and UL 790 fire classification. Applicability depends on the exact tested product, substrate and treatment system.

Should my roof be cleaned or soft-washed before treatment?+

Every roof is assessed individually. Loose debris is removed during preparation. Heavy moss, algae or rooted organic growth may require appropriate cleaning before treatment, while cosmetic staining alone may not affect candidacy. Any cleaning must be completed using methods compatible with the shingles and planned treatment.

How do insurance companies view GoNano treatment?+

Insurance decisions vary by provider and policy. GoNano treatment should not be represented as a new roof or assumed to change underwriting automatically. We can provide treatment and roof-condition documentation for you to discuss directly with your insurer.

How long does the treatment continue to perform?+

Performance and visible water beading vary with the selected system, roof condition and local weather exposure. The hydrophobic beading effect may change over time without necessarily indicating that all treatment benefits have ended. Refer to your written product and warranty documentation for the applicable performance period.

Does it protect against the sun?+

The treatment is designed to help protect qualifying shingles from damaging UV exposure, heat absorption, weather-related aging and colour degradation. Performance depends on the roof and selected treatment system.

Does treatment change the roof’s fire classification?+

GoNano reports testing under UL 790. The treatment is not intended to make a qualifying roof more flammable or replace its existing rated roofing assembly. Any fire-classification statement must be tied to the exact tested product and system.

When would the roof need to be treated again?+

The appropriate interval depends on the product, roof condition, exposure and written manufacturer guidance. A second treatment should only be considered after another Roof Health Assessment and should not be assumed to provide a specific additional lifespan unless supported by the applicable documentation.

Does it take one treatment or two?+

The recommended product and coat count depend on the roof’s condition and desired treatment system. Additional applications may be recommended for certain qualifying projects, but benefits and warranty coverage must be based on the written specifications—not assumptions about untested lifespan gains.

Is this a surface coating?+

GoNano uses particles approximately 40–60 nanometres in size, designed to penetrate material pores and modify performance rather than simply forming a temporary surface layer.
