Nanoclad Roof Shield is a spray-applied nanoparticle coating designed to help protect and extend the life of asphalt shingle roofs. Once applied, it penetrates into the shingle surface to restore flexibility, improve water repellency, and reduce damage from UV exposure and weathering.
Unlike traditional roof treatments that sit on the surface and wear away, Nanoclad is designed to absorb into the shingle, helping slow the aging process and delay the need for roof replacement.
Nanoclad is applied by trained, insured Certified Installers and is intended for roofs that are still in serviceable condition. It is not a roof replacement, but a roof preservation solution.
Nanoclad works by penetrating into the surface of asphalt shingles rather than sitting on top of them. The coating contains advanced nanoparticles that absorb into the shingle, helping to restore flexibility, improve water repellency, and reduce damage from UV exposure and weathering.
Over time, asphalt shingles dry out and become brittle due to sun exposure and moisture loss. Nanoclad helps slow this aging process by reinforcing the shingle at a microscopic level, which can help delay cracking, granule loss, and premature deterioration.
Once applied, the coating cures within the shingle, creating a long-lasting protective effect without changing the look of the roof or forming a surface film.
Nanoclad is designed for roofs that are still in serviceable condition. It is not a roof replacement, but a roof preservation treatment intended to extend the usable life of an existing roof.
No. Nanoclad is not a roof replacement. It is a roof preservation treatment designed to help extend the usable life of an existing asphalt shingle roof that is still in serviceable condition.
Pricing varies based on factors such as roof size, pitch, condition, and location. A Nanoclad Certified Installer will provide a customized quote after evaluating your roof. In general, Nanoclad is a lower-cost alternative to premature roof replacement.
Nanoclad provides multiple benefits for asphalt shingle roofs that are still in serviceable condition:
Helps extend roof life
By slowing the aging process of asphalt shingles, Nanoclad can help delay the need for roof replacement.
Improves water repellency
The coating enhances the roof’s hydrophobic properties, helping shed water more effectively.
Reduces UV-related aging
Nanoclad helps protect shingles from ongoing sun exposure, which is a primary cause of drying and brittleness.
Restores shingle flexibility
As shingles age, they become brittle. Nanoclad helps improve flexibility, which can reduce cracking and deterioration.
Preserves the roof’s appearance
The coating absorbs into the shingle rather than forming a surface film, so it does not change the look of the roof.
Environmentally responsible option
Extending the life of an existing roof helps reduce construction waste and the environmental impact of premature replacement.
Cost-effective alternative to replacement
Nanoclad offers homeowners a lower-cost way to protect their roof compared to replacing it before it’s necessary.
Nanoclad is not a roof replacement, but a roof preservation solution designed to help homeowners get more life out of an existing roof.
No. Nanoclad is designed to absorb into the asphalt shingles, not sit on the surface like a paint or sealant. Because it does not form a visible film, it does not change the color, texture, or overall appearance of your roof.
Once applied and cured, the coating is not visible from the ground and does not create a glossy or “wet” look. Your roof will look the same as it did before application—just with added protection.
Yes. When applied by a trained Nanoclad Certified Installer and allowed to cure, Nanoclad is safe for people, pets, and plants.
The coating is applied in a controlled manner, and standard precautions are taken during application to protect surrounding areas—similar to other professional exterior treatments. Once the application is complete and the product has cured, it is non-toxic and inert, meaning it does not pose an ongoing risk to occupants, pets, or landscaping.
As with any professional exterior service, we recommend keeping people and pets away from the work area during application. Your installer will provide guidance on when it’s safe to resume normal activity, which is typically shortly after the application is completed.
Nanoclad is designed to provide long-term protection, but how long it lasts depends on the condition of the roof at the time of application.
Before applying Nanoclad, a Certified Installer evaluates the roof and assigns an appropriate warranty term of 5, 10, or 15 years based on factors such as roof age, condition, and overall suitability.
The coating itself is designed to absorb into the asphalt shingles and provide ongoing protection rather than wearing away like a surface coating.
When applied to a roof that is still in serviceable condition, Nanoclad can help extend the usable life of the roof and delay the need for replacement.
Nanoclad Roof Shield is designed specifically for asphalt shingle roofs and is applied only when the roof is in serviceable condition.
It is not applied to all roof types; however, Nanoclad offers other specialized coatings for different roofing materials:
Tile roofs (concrete, clay, or slate): Nanoclad Concrete, Brick & Stone Shield is designed for hard roofing surfaces such as tile roofs.
Wood shake or wood shingle roofs: Nanoclad Wood Shield is formulated specifically for wood-based roofing materials.
Each Nanoclad product is designed for a specific surface type and is applied only after an evaluation by a Certified Installer to ensure the surface is suitable.
Nanoclad is applied as a spray-on coating by a trained and insured Nanoclad Certified Installer.
Before application, the installer performs a roof inspection to ensure the roof is in serviceable condition and suitable for treatment. The roof surface is then prepared as needed, and the Nanoclad coating is evenly sprayed across the shingles using professional application equipment.
The coating is designed to absorb into the asphalt shingles, rather than sitting on the surface. After application, Nanoclad cures within the shingle, providing long-term protection without changing the appearance of the roof.
Most residential applications are completed in a single visit, and homeowners can typically resume normal use of their property shortly after the application is finished.
Nanoclad is not designed or marketed as an energy-efficiency or reflective roof coating, and it is not intended to significantly change a home’s insulation or cooling performance.
That said, by helping to reduce moisture intrusion and maintain the condition of asphalt shingles, Nanoclad can support the roof’s ability to perform as intended over time. In some cases, homeowners may notice minor secondary benefits, such as more consistent roof performance during hot or wet conditions, but results will vary.
Nanoclad’s primary purpose is roof preservation and longevity, not energy savings. Any energy-related effects should be considered incidental rather than guaranteed.
No. Nanoclad is not a repair product and is not intended to fix existing roof damage or active leaks.
Nanoclad is designed to help protect and preserve roofs that are already in serviceable condition. If a roof has active leaks, missing shingles, structural issues, or significant damage, those issues must be addressed before Nanoclad can be applied.
In some cases, a Nanoclad Certified Installer may be able to complete or arrange minor roof repairs—such as replacing a small number of damaged shingles—prior to application. This ensures the roof is suitable for treatment, but the repairs themselves are separate from the Nanoclad coating.
If a roof is not suitable for treatment, your installer will advise you of the best next steps.
The best way to know is through an evaluation by a Nanoclad Certified Installer.
Nanoclad is designed for asphalt shingle roofs that are still in serviceable condition. Roofs that tend to benefit most are those that:
Are aging but not failing
Show early signs of wear or drying
Have no active leaks or major damage
Have several years of usable life remaining
Before any application, a Certified Installer will inspect your roof to confirm whether it is a good candidate and determine an appropriate warranty term.
If your roof is too far along or not suitable for treatment, your installer will let you know and recommend the best next steps. Nanoclad is not applied unless it’s likely to provide real benefit.
If your roof is not suitable, the Certified Installer will let you know. Nanoclad is only applied when it’s likely to provide real benefit. If your roof is too far along, replacement or repair may be recommended instead.
Yes. Nanoclad applications are backed by a warranty, with the warranty term (5, 10, or 15 years) assigned based on the condition of the roof at the time of application.
In many cases, Nanoclad is applied to roofs that are already outside of manufacturer warranty periods. If your roof is newer, your Certified Installer can help determine whether application may affect any existing coverage, and in many cases Nanoclad will honor your existing roofs warranty.
Waiting often means replacing a roof earlier than necessary. Nanoclad can help homeowners get more value from their existing roof and plan replacement on their own timeline.
