The science behind the product

Nanotechnology applied to your roof

Understanding why a shingle dies, and how we stop it.

How it works

At the nanometre scale

The molecule is small enough to enter the shingle’s pores, and stable enough to stay there.

  1. 01

    Penetration

    Applied at low pressure, the treatment travels down into the shingle’s micro-pores instead of sitting on the surface.

  2. 02

    Molecular bonding

    Nanoparticles bond chemically to the substrate. There is no film to peel off: the treatment is now part of the shingle.

  3. 03

    Hydrophobic barrier

    Water beads and runs off instead of soaking in. No trapped water means no freeze-thaw damage.

  4. 04

    Ongoing protection

    UV filtering, moss and lichen inhibition, and shingle flexibility maintained season after season.

Life cycle

What happens to a shingle, year after year

0-5 years

Full health

The shingle is flexible, waterproof, and its granules are firmly anchored. This is the ideal moment for Nano-T.

5-15 years

Progressive drying

UV evaporates the oils. The shingle loses flexibility and starts shedding granules. Still perfectly treatable.

15-25 years

Porosity and cracking

The shingle absorbs water and cracks in the freeze. This is Nano-Revive territory — the last window to act.

25+ years

Structural end of life

The membrane is compromised. Replacement becomes the only honest option.

The Nano solution

We fix the cause, not the symptom

Nano treatment penetrates the shingle at a molecular level. It isn’t paint on top: it re-waterproofs the material from within and shields it from what was killing it.

Preventive

Nano-T

Roofs 0 to 15 years old

You get ahead of it. The treatment seals the shingle while it’s still healthy and stops aging before it starts.

  • Long-lasting preventive treatment
  • Extends the life of your roof by 10 to 15 years
  • UV, moss and lichen protection
  • Restores original waterproofing
10 to 15 year warranty
Restoration

Nano-Revive

Roofs 15 to 25 years old

Your roof shows its age but the structure is sound. The intensive treatment rehydrates aged material and buys back several years.

  • Revitalizes aged materials
  • Delays or avoids full replacement
  • Intensive restoration treatment
  • Visible results from day one
5 year warranty

The recommended product is selected automatically by the calculator based on your roof’s age and condition.
