Extend Your Roof’s Life up to 15 Years with GoNano

Now Available Through Apex Impressions in the Greater Toronto Area

If your asphalt shingle roof is under 25 years old, now is the perfect time to protect it, not replace it. Apex Impressions is now offering GoNano, a cutting-edge nanosilica treatment that strengthens, seals, and extends the life of your roof by up to15 years for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.

GoNano offers three professionally applied formulations, each tailored to the condition and age of your roof: Shingle Saver (0–5 years old), Revive (5–20 years old) and BioBoost (up to 25 years old). 

All GoNano applications are safe, biodegradable, and scientifically proven to enhance performance without voiding manufacturer warranties.

Engineered in Canada and backed by over 15 years of research, GoNano is now available to homeowners across the GTA through Apex Impressions. Let us assess your roof and match it with the right GoNano solution.

What is GoNano and How Does It Work?

GoNano is a clear, water-based roof treatment made from biodegradable nanosilica. When applied to asphalt shingles, the silica bonds at a molecular level with the bitumen inside the shingle structure. This strengthens the roofing material from the inside out, increasing flexibility, waterproofing, hail resistance, and UV durability.

Unlike surface-level sealants or coatings that can peel or trap moisture, GoNano chemically integrates with the asphalt to prevent premature aging. One treatment can delay the need for a full roof replacement by more than a decade, making it one of the most cost-effective and eco-friendly roof preservation methods available today.

Why the GTA Needs Roof Protection Like GoNano

The Greater Toronto Area experiences a mix of weather extremes throughout the year. Harsh UV rays in summer, freeze-thaw cycles in winter, windstorms, rain, hail, and algae growth all contribute to the gradual breakdown of roofing materials. GoNano was created to protect against exactly these stressors by enhancing:

UV Resistance: GoNano reflects UV rays that typically cause fading, brittleness, and premature aging in shingles.

Waterproofing: By bonding to the pores of asphalt, GoNano reduces water infiltration, which is especially important during heavy rain and snowmelt.

Wind Protection: One application on a 60 mph wind-rated shingle can upgrade it to withstand winds of 110 mph, based on ASTM testing.

Hail Impact Resistance: GoNano-treated Class 1 shingles have passed tests for Class 3 hail (1.75-inch hailstones), and when treated twice, they can perform at a Class 4 level (2-inch hailstones), the highest standard.

Flexibility: Enhanced flexibility allows shingles to move with the roof structure, reducing the chance of cracking or tearing during wind or freeze-thaw conditions.

Granule Retention: GoNano improves adhesion of granules to the shingle surface, which protects against colour loss and structural decay.

A Solution for Both Newer and Aging Roofs

GoNano offers three specialized treatment options based on the age and condition of your asphalt roof. Each is engineered to extend roof life while improving resistance to weather, water, and aging all without voiding your existing shingle warranty.

Shingle Saver (0–5 years old)Designed for new or nearly-new roofs, Shingle Saver delivers ultimate protection with a 100% nanosilica formula. It locks in strength early, preventing premature aging, UV breakdown, and moisture intrusion. Homeowners who choose Shingle Saver can expect to preserve the "like-new" performance and appearance of their roof for an additional 15+ years.

Revive (5–20 years old)For roofs starting to show signs of wear, minor fading, some granule loss, or reduced flexibility. Revive helps rebuild resilience. This formula restores elasticity, seals micro-cracks, and improves weather resistance. It’s ideal for extending the functional lifespan of mid-age shingles before major deterioration sets in.

BioBoost (up to 25 years old)For older roofs nearing the end of their life, BioBoost is a bio-based formula designed to breathe new life into shingles that are still structurally sound. It helps reinforce aging asphalt, improve water repellency, and delay the need for a costly reroof especially beneficial for homeowners looking to get a few more solid years out of their existing shingles.

If you’re unsure which option is right for your home, Apex Impressions offers free roof assessments to evaluate your roof’s condition and recommend the most suitable treatment.

Is It Safe for My Home and the Environment?

Yes, GoNano has been thoroughly tested through ecotoxicological studies and is proven to be safe for both the environment and your home. It is quickly biodegradable, non-toxic to aquatic life, and completely free of harmful “forever chemicals” such as Teflon or PFOAs. The formula has also earned a high environmental safety rating under green chemistry evaluations, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

It also does not void shingle warranties. GoNano has been legally reviewed against the warranty policies of major manufacturers including IKO, GAF, Owens Corning, and BP. Since the application does not involve abrasive cleaning or damaging agents, your existing warranty remains fully intact.

GoNano has also been tested under UL fire safety standards, and it does not affect your roof’s fire rating.

What Does the Application Look Like?

GoNano is applied using a commercial-grade spray system that evenly distributes the formula across the entire roof surface. The application is quick, low-mess, and safe for siding, plants, gutters, and outdoor features. It dries within hours and leaves no visible residue.

Because it is a clear treatment and not a paint or sealant, it will not alter your roof’s natural appearance. Instead, it revives the original colour of your shingles and can make aging roofs look refreshed. Our team takes special care to ensure even coverage and protect adjacent surfaces as needed.

How Long Does It Last and When Should I Reapply?

One application of GoNano delivers up to 15 years of powerful protection, depending on your roof’s age and condition. For homeowners looking to maximize performance, a second treatment midway can further enhance resistance to hail, wind, and water infiltration especially in harsh Canadian climates.

But the true potential lies in long-term care. When GoNano is applied early using the Shingle Saver formula and re-applied at the right intervals, it opens the door to something remarkable: the possibility of maintaining your original roof for up to 100 years. Instead of facing costly replacements every 15–25 years, homeowners can preserve and protect their roof across generations transforming roofing from a major expense into a smart, sustainable investment.

What About the Cost?

GoNano offers long-term savings by preventing early roof replacement. While exact pricing can vary based on roof size, slope, and condition, it generally represents a small portion of the cost of a full reroof. Our team will assess your roof and provide a personalized quote during your free consultation.

Compared to the investment required for a complete roof replacement, GoNano is an affordable option that adds both peace of mind and resale value.
