Tested and Proven: The Science Behind GoNano Roof Treatments

Homeowners often ask: “Does GoNano treatment really work?”

The answer is yes — and it isn’t just marketing. GoNano products have undergone:

Over $1 million has been invested in testing worldwide, making this one of the most validated roof-protection technologies available today.

Hail Impact Resistance

UL Certified Testing: A single GoNano treatment allowed entry-level Class 1 shingles to pass Class 3 hail impact tests without damage.
With two treatments, those same shingles passed Class 4 impact tests, the highest possible rating.
Green Center testing confirmed that treated shingles could withstand hail forces equivalent to 2.5 inches in diameter.

👉 In hail-prone Edmonton, that means shingles are far more likely to resist one of the leading causes of roof failure and insurance claims.

UL ASTM D3161 Wind Tests: Shingles treated with GoNano passed 110 mph wind tests with both single and double treatments.
This performance exceeds many common manufacturer ratings.

✅ Extra protection during the violent windstorms increasingly common in Alberta.

UL 790 Fire Testing showed GoNano-treated shingles maintained a Class A fire rating, the highest available classification.
No decrease in performance was found.

🔥 That means added durability without any compromise to fire safety.

CNETE Laboratory Analysis proved GoNano creates a hydrophobic barrier by chemically bonding to asphalt and aggregate.
Independent nanosilica research shows this barrier significantly reduces:
- Moisture penetration
- Freeze–thaw cracking
- Long-term oxidation damage

💧 In Edmonton, where freeze–thaw cycles and ice buildup are leading causes of roof failure, this protection is especially valuable.

Peer-reviewed studies of nanosilica (the active component in GoNano) demonstrate:

Reduced oxidation and slower UV degradation
Improved flexibility and resistance to cracking
Stronger adhesion between asphalt and protective granules → less granule loss
Enhanced fatigue life, meaning shingles last longer under repeated heating, cooling, and impact

GoNano is not a surface coating that wears away — it’s a penetrating treatment that chemically strengthens roofing materials from within.

Backed by independent certifications, university studies, and millions in R&D, GoNano treatments consistently deliver:

Added lifespan: 3–15+ years depending on roof age and condition
Stronger performance: Proven against hail, wind, fire, moisture, and aging
Peace of mind: Tested to the same rigorous standards used for building materials across North America
