Cedar Shake Roof
Treatment BC
Cedar shakes are beautiful — but BC's wet climate is relentless. Moss, rot, and UV degradation attack them year-round. GoNano Wood Saver™ nanotechnology penetrates deep into the wood to restore moisture balance, prevent rot, and protect against the elements for years.
The Cedar Challenge
Why cedar shakes need special care in BC
Cedar is naturally rot-resistant — but that resistance fades over time as the wood's natural oils dry out. In BC's climate, untreated cedar shakes typically last 20–30 years. With GoNano treatment, you can extend that significantly while maintaining the natural beauty of the wood.

Cedar Shake Treatment FAQ

How long does cedar shake roof treatment last?
GoNano Wood Saver™ treatment typically lasts 5–10 years depending on exposure and tree cover. A written warranty is issued after application.
