sealants are approached. A regular shingle is sealed with oil, filling up the space in between shingles. GoNano modifies the molecular structure of asphalt shingles permanently. After application, a reaction occurs within each shingle. This reaction fuses both organic and inorganic material, creating new chemical links, called S1 particles. These S1 particles link shingle granules together, working from the inside out, creating a unified barrier against environmental strains and saves you money by extending the lifespan of your roof.</p><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66d14_background-chemical-links.webp" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 85vw, (max-width: 767px) 88vw, (max-width: 991px) 85vw, 89vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66d14_background-chemical-links-p-500.webp 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66d14_background-chemical-links-p-800.webp 800w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66d14_background-chemical-links.webp 1079w" alt="" class="description-image-6"/></div></div><div data-w-id="78c3c2f3-c73f-984b-f7b6-7ab2d0125cb9" class="section-13 smokey-no-bottom"><div class="container-13 grid-2"><div id="w-node-_78c3c2f3-c73f-984b-f7b6-7ab2d0125cbb-cdd0c7de" class="description-image-wrap _700px"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/6238da292f6c340b355afb31_unnamed3.webp" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 85vw, (max-width: 767px) 88vw, (max-width: 991px) 84vw, 43vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/6238da292f6c340b355afb31_unnamed3-p-500.webp 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/6238da292f6c340b355afb31_unnamed3-p-800.webp 800w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/6238da292f6c340b355afb31_unnamed3-p-1600.webp 1600w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/6238da292f6c340b355afb31_unnamed3.webp 1610w" alt="GoNano technology roof application by an experienced technician" class="description-image-7"/></div><div id="w-node-_78c3c2f3-c73f-984b-f7b6-7ab2d0125cbd-cdd0c7de" class="column description-heading"><h3 class="max-1005">Advantages of Molecular Structure Modification</h3><p class="big-paragraph max-800 dark">• Increased resistance to hail storms and high winds<br/>• Cleans and prevents the growth of algae<br/>• Prevention and reduction of walter infiltration<br/>• Preserving and regenerating shingle color<br/>• Maintaining granule composition<br/>• Effective evacuation of ice and snow</p><a href="/quote" class="_3d-button-2 w-button">Get your quote</a></div></div></div><div class="section-14 features-under-hero"><h2 class="h2 light center">Nanosilica</h2><div class="container-14 grid-3 long-text"><div class="column flex-center"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%20212.webp" loading="lazy" height="120" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 84px, (max-width: 991px) 12vw, 120.1875px" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%2520212-p-500.png 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%20212.webp 635w" class="icon-featured"/><h3 class="_10-margin-3 features-under-hero white">Material</h3><div class="label-7 text-under-features">Similar to silica, an inorganic nanomaterial, composed of high silica density.</div></div><div class="column flex-center"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%20212.webp" loading="lazy" height="120" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 84px, (max-width: 991px) 12vw, 120.1875px" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%2520212-p-500.png 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%20212.webp 635w" class="icon-featured"/><h3 class="_10-margin-3 features-under-hero white">Manufactured</h3><div class="label-7 text-under-features">Synthetically created by precipitation, hydrothermal/solvothermal, or thermal reduction processes.</div></div><div class="column flex-center"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%20212.webp" loading="lazy" height="120" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 84px, (max-width: 991px) 12vw, 120.1875px" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%2520212-p-500.png 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/622f8ac66d5acb59da6f74ec/64c2923008c24bfc73e66cff_Frame%20212.webp 635w" class="icon-featured"/><h3 class="_10-margin-3 features-under-hero white">Performance</h3><div class="label-7 text-under-features">Modification occurs from pozzolanic reactivity (pore-filling).</div></div></div><div class="container-14 margin-top"><p class="paragraph-12 margin-bottom">Nanosilica is an inorganic nanomaterial, similar to silica, but it is characterized by high silica density (99%).

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.</p></div></div><a href="/quote" class="_3d-button-2 w-button">free quote</a></div><div data-w-id="d438e389-c7e5-a2d4-ca62-f52a1c2ff513" class="section-15 regular-smokey"><div class="container-16 quote"><div id="w-node-d438e389-c7e5-a2d4-ca62-f52a1c2ff515-cdd0c7de" class="column feature-headline-center"><h2 class="h2">Environment</h2></div><div id="w-node-d438e389-c7e5-a2d4-ca62-f52a1c2ff518-cdd0c7de" class="guaranteed-2"><div id="w-node-d438e389-c7e5-a2d4-ca62-f52a1c2ff519-cdd0c7de" class="steps-box"><p class="big-paragraph max-500 black">In the coming years, the effects of climate change will mean an increase in severity of hail storms.
