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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Rethink Your Roof: How Nanoclad Saves You Money and the Planet
When it comes to aging shingles, most homeowners and property managers think there’s only one option: tear off and replace. But there’s a smarter, more sustainable solution that doesn’t involve a dumpster full of shingles or a massive price tag. Introducing Nanoclad: A Better Alternative to Roof Replacement Nanoclad is a spray-applied roof coating that protects and seals your existing asphalt shingles. It helps extend the life of your roof and offers added performance benefits like increased hail resistance, [...]
