WHAT IS LIQUA-ROOF

A brand new shingle layer—made of real roofing granules

At its core, Liqua-Roof is made of roofing granules suspended in a proprietary resin. Think of it as adding to the original layers of your shingles—reinforcing your roof with the very material it's made of.

We add a new layer of granules to your asphalt shingles

Applying Liqua-Roof is like giving your shingles a brand-new top layer. Our proprietary system replaces lost granules and adds even more, increasing the original granule volume of your shingles. This reinforced surface shields the deeper layers from harsh UV rays, moisture, and everyday wear—extending the life of your roof by at least 25 years with a single application.

New and old granules are sealed and locked in place

Once sprayed, our elastomeric resin fuses both the original and new granules in place—creating a tough yet flexible membrane. The result? Superior waterproofing and up to 90% less granule shedding compared to uncoated, traditional roofing shingles.

ASTM D4977
Granule Loss

To assess granule retention, ASTM D4977 testing was performed on new asphalt shingles and those same shingles after being coated with Liqua-Roof. A strip of duct tape was firmly applied to each shingle and then removed to measure granule loss.

The uncoated shingle lost 1.26 grams of granules, while the Liqua-Roof coated shingle lost only 0.13 grams—a 90% reduction in granule loss.

Result: Liqua-Roof stops the cycle of granule loss that leads to UV exposure, shingle breakdown, and eventual roof replacement—helping extend the life of your roof from the top layer down.  
Result: Liqua-Roof achieved a permeability rating of 5.64 perms, placing it in the moderate-to-high breathability range (6+ perms). This ensures effective moisture vapor release while still maintaining a protective barrier against the elements.

ASTM D2794
Impact Resistance

To evaluate impact resistance, this test measures the force required to cause damage to a coated surface from impact from a fallen weight. In testing, new, uncoated asphalt shingles demonstrated failure (deformation, cracking, etc) at 20 lbs of impact force. When coated with Liqua-Roof, those same shingles withstood 65 lbs of impact—more than 3X the resistance.

Result: Liqua-Roof significantly increases your roof’s ability to withstand hail, falling debris, and extreme weather.

ASTM D3161
Wind Resistance

To evaluate wind performance, ASTM D3161 testing was conducted by comparing uncoated asphalt shingles with identical shingles coated using the Liqua-Roof system. Both samples were subjected to controlled wind speeds reaching up to 110 mph.

The uncoated shingles began to lift and showed signs of failure after just 11 seconds of exposure. In contrast, the Liqua-Roof coated shingles remained fully intact and showed no signs of damage even after 5+ minutes under the same extreme conditions.

Result: Liqua-Roof significantly enhances wind resistance—providing critical protection in regions exposed to hurricanes, high winds, and extreme weather.  
Result: Liqua-Roof achieved a permeability rating of 5.64 perms, placing it in the moderate-to-high breathability range (6+ perms). This ensures effective moisture vapor release while still maintaining a protective barrier against the elements.

ASTM G21
Fungi Resistance

ASTM G21 evaluates a material’s resistance to fungal growth by exposing it to common fungi in a controlled, humid environment for 28 days. The surface is then examined for visible signs of mold or mildew.

Result: Liqua-Roof coated shingles remained 100% free of fungal growth—demonstrating excellent long-term resistance to mold and mildew.

ASTM D4798
Accelerated Weathering

ASTM D4798 simulates long-term outdoor exposure by subjecting materials to cycles of UV light, heat, and moisture in a controlled lab environment. This helps predict how a product will weather over time.

Result: Liqua-Roof coated shingles remained 100% free of fungal growth—demonstrating excellent long-term resistance to mold and mildew.

ASTM D1653
Breathability

ASTM D1653 measures the permeability of roofing materials to water vapor, indicating how well moisture can escape from the underside of the roof. A higher number of "perms" means better breathability, which is important for preventing moisture buildup and potential mold growth under roofing.

How do we reduce granule loss by 90%?

We increase granule volume

Liqua-Roof doesn't just preserve what's left — it adds a fresh layer of high-performance granules, delivering even more protection than brand-new shingles.

We lock granules in place

Unlike traditional shingles where granules are only surface-stamped, our proprietary resin fully envelops each granule to lock and essentially glue it in place—reducing granule loss by up to 90%.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES

Our proprietary formula seals, shields and strengthens

Liqua-Roof is strategically engineered for durability and resilience, with a finish that looks as good as it performs

Patented granule technology

Formulated with real roof granules, our topcoat replaces lost granules and adds more for unmatched strength.

High impact resistance

3X more impact resistance than uncoated shingles, allowing shingles to remain fully in-tact in the face of extreme weather and fallen debris.

Extreme wind resistance

Our proprietary resin fully envelopes and “glues” both roof granules and the actual shingle in place, preventing shingles from lifting in winds as high as 110mph.

Extreme UV resistance

Granules are coated with a UV-blocking resin to reduce heat absorption, prevent fading, warping and all forms of shingle deformation.

Waterproof & breathable

Dries to a waterproof finish that blocks water infiltration while allowing moisture to escape.

Textured, natural finish

Real roofing granules deliver a textured, natural finish an authentic appearance that looks like new shingles.

HOW IT WORKS

Our 3-part system rebuilds shingles from the inside out

1. Rejuvenate & Reverse Aging

For brittle, curled and worn-out shingles, we start with an advanced shingle rejuvenation process that helps them lay flat again. Unlike conventional soybean oil treatments that only surface penetrate and can rinse away, our proprietary tar-enhanced oil emulsion penetrates deep into shingles. It infuses fresh asphalt content, restoring essential oils and plasticizers to revive flexibility and strength. The added tar minimizes runoff—a common flaw in rejuvenators—and creates a fresh adhesive layer, mimicking the original manufacturing process. This sets the foundation for long-term flexibility and durability.

2. Waterproof & Seal

Next, we apply a high-performance, proprietary coating that seeps deep into microscopic cracks, sealing them against water and locking in the rejuvenating oils and tar. This waterproof yet breathable layer forms a strong, leak-proof barrier in preparation for granule resurfacing.

3. Resurface & Defend

This final and truly revolutionary step involves spraying on a layer of genuine roof granules in a proprietary clear resin. This creates an ultra-strong mechanical bond that surpasses the original granule-to-asphalt adhesion. The result? Reinforced shingles with lasting protection and a fresh, updated look that resembles brand-new shingles.
