How to Verify Roof Rejuvenation Testing Claims Before You Buy
The roof-rejuvenation industry is growing.
So are the claims.
You may see:
- Scientifically proven
- Laboratory tested
- Nanotechnology
- Storm protection
- Extended lifespan
How do you separate evidence from advertising?
Ask for specifics.
GoNano itself recommends evaluating rejuvenation technologies against recognized standards rather than relying solely on general phrases such as “third-party tested.”
Question 1: Which Test?
Ask for the exact standard.
For example:
- UL 2218
- ASTM D3161
- UL 790
“Lab tested” without a named test gives you very little information.
Question 2: What Result?
Passing a test is not always the whole story.
Ask:
What classification did the product achieve?
Question 3: Who Performed the Testing?
Ask for the laboratory or testing organization.
GoNano identifies testing involving organizations including UL Solutions and Impact Chemistry, among others.
Question 4: Can You See Documentation?
A confident company should be able to point homeowners toward supporting documentation rather than asking them to accept a sales pitch.
Question 5: Was the Test Relevant to the Claim?
Impact testing does not prove every other performance claim.
Wind testing measures something different from fire testing.
Understand which result supports which statement.
Evidence Still Doesn’t Replace Inspection
Even well-tested technology needs to be used on the correct roof.
GoNano’s own candidate guidance makes structural suitability a prerequisite.
Science Is Most Useful When the Homeowner Can Verify It.
NanoTech Exteriors uses GoNano technology and encourages homeowners to understand the testing behind the product as well as the condition of their own roof.
