Primed for Solar: How Nanoclad Set the Stage for a Smarter Roof

Customer Profile Name: The Morgan Family Location: Calgary, AB Home Type: 2-storey home, 2,800 sq ft Roof Type: 10-year-old asphalt shingles Solar Panel Installation Planned: Spring 2025 (25-year panel lifespan)   The Challenge The Morgan family had been planning their solar panel installation for over a year. After careful research and incentives from BC Hydro, they were ready to go solar. But one key concern remained: their roof was already 10 years old—and asphalt shingles typically last just 15 to 20 years. Installing solar panels on a roof that might need replacing in less than 10 years could result in major extra costs down [...]

Built to Last Longer: Coating a New Roof with Nanoclad

Customer Profile Names: The Singh Family Location: Calgary, AB Home Type: 2-storey family home, 2,300 sq ft Roof Type: Asphalt shingles, replaced Fall 2024 due to hail Solar Panels: Not installed   The Challenge After a severe hailstorm in 2024, the Singh family had to replace their entire roof. With a brand-new asphalt shingle system in place, they knew it was only a matter of time before Calgary’s next damaging hail event. They also understood that even new shingles begin degrading within a few years under UV exposure, heat, and seasonal weather swings. As homeowners who believe in preventative maintenance, they wanted to protect [...]

Bridge to a New Roof: How Nanoclad Extended the Life of an Aging Roof

Customer Profile Names: Linda & George Patterson Location: Okotoks, AB Home Type: 1,600 sq ft ranch-style bungalow Roof Type: 16-year-old asphalt shingles Solar Panels: Not installed / not planned   The Challenge Linda and George Patterson have lived in their home for over 20 years. Their asphalt shingle roof—installed 16 years ago—was starting to show signs of wear: degranulation, minor cracking, and some fibreglass mat showing.  They received multiple quotes for a full roof replacement, ranging from $14,000 to $17,000—a cost that wasn’t in their current retirement budget. With no active leaks and the underlying structure still in good shape, they wondered: Is there [...]

Coating After Solar: Maximizing Roof ROI with Nanoclad

Customer Profile Name: Sarah & David Thompson Location: Airdrie, AB Home Type: 2,400 sq ft single-family home Roof Type: Asphalt shingles (installed 8 years ago) Solar Panels Installed: 2 years ago (25-year lifespan) The Challenge Sarah and David Thompson invested in a rooftop solar panel system in 2023, expecting clean energy and reduced power bills for decades to come. But just two years after installation, they realized their asphalt shingle roof—already 8 years old—might need replacing well before their solar panels reached end of life. The problem? Replacing a roof with solar panels is expensive and disruptive. It can cost thousands just to remove [...]

When they bought the home in 2020, it had a classic cedar shake roof that added to the charm—but also came with maintenance concerns. By 2024, the shakes were weathered and beginning to show signs of UV damage and moss growth. They loved the look of the natural wood and didn’t want to replace it prematurely, so [...]

Amorphous vs. Crystalline Nano Silica: What You Need to Know and Why Nanoclad Is Safe

When it comes to nanotechnology in building materials, especially in roof coatings like Nanoclad, safety and performance go hand in hand. One common ingredient across various high-performance coatings is nano silica—a material prized for its durability, water resistance, and UV-blocking properties. But not all nano silica is created equal. The distinction between amorphous and crystalline forms of silica is critical—especially when it comes to health and safety. At Nanoclad, we exclusively use amorphous nano silica, and here’s why that matters. ⸻ The Two Forms of Silica: Crystalline vs. Amorphous 🟣 Crystalline Silica Crystalline silica, such as quartz, is a well-ordered mineral with a [...]

Extend the Life of Your Roof — and Your Solar Investment — with Nanoclad

More homeowners than ever are investing in solar energy, and it’s easy to see why. Solar panels can drastically reduce energy bills, increase home value, and offer long-term savings. But there’s one critical detail many homeowners overlook: the condition of their roof. An average solar panel system lasts 25 to 30 years. Most asphalt shingle roofs, however, only last about 15 to 20 years — and even less in harsh weather conditions. That creates a costly disconnect: if your roof fails before your solar panels do, you’ll face not only the price of a roof replacement but also the significant expense of removing [...]

What Are Nanoparticles – And Why Are They the Secret to a Longer-Lasting Roof?

When it comes to protecting your roof — and your home — modern science has delivered a game-changer: nanoparticles. At Nanoclad, our cutting-edge roof coatings are engineered with advanced nanotechnology that dramatically extends the life of aging roofs. But what exactly are nanoparticles, and why do they make such a difference? What Are Nanoparticles? Nanoparticles are ultra-small particles — so small, in fact, that they’re measured in nanometers (one-billionth of a meter). To put it in perspective, a single sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. Because of their size, nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties that traditional materials and bio-oils [...]
