Asphalt shingle preservation, specified with documentation
For architects, engineers and roof consultants writing a preservation scope for existing asphalt shingle roofs: what the material is, where it fits, and the quality control you can write into the spec.
Illustration
The material
NANOROOF SPS System is applied in place by certified dealers to a written protocol.
| Type | Water-based silicone elastomeric polymer system with proprietary nano-chemistry |
|---|---|
| Substrate | Asphalt shingles |
| Mechanism | Penetrates and bonds inside the shingle, then forms a protective layer on top, encapsulating it |
| Protects against | Water penetration and granule loss |
| Application | Spray, after assessment, tune-up and cleaning |
Where it fits
- Fits: sound asphalt shingle roofs aging from the surface: fading, brittleness, early granule loss
- Fits: portfolios considering preservation of qualifying roofs
- Doesn't fit: soft or failed decking, structural damage, or shingles worn to the mat
- Doesn't fit: active flashing leaks until they are repaired
- Doesn't fit: metal, tile, slate or membrane roofs
Quality control you can write into the spec
Every registered job produces these records, so compliance can be checked rather than assumed.
- Pre-application assessmentWritten condition report with photos of every slope and the decking
- Repairs completed first10-point tune-up, flashing and penetration repairs documented
- Substrate preparationSoft wash to remove algae, moss and debris; before photos on file
- Moisture readingsMeasured and recorded before spraying
- Metered materialQuantity applied recorded from a meter on the sprayer
- Test sampleTreated test sample left on the roof with an ID, for later checks
- Certified applicatorWork performed by a dealer certified on the protocol
- RegistrationJob record and warranty registered to the property
