Concrete may look solid and nearly indestructible, but it is naturally porous. Rain, humidity, sunlight, chemicals, and everyday wear can gradually penetrate or affect the surface, contributing to staining, cracking, and deterioration.
For Mississippi homeowners and commercial property owners, protecting concrete can help preserve both the appearance and long-term condition of the property. Cox Roofing now offers GoNano concrete treatment, an advanced penetrating solution designed to protect concrete from within rather than simply leaving a temporary coating on top.
Concrete is constantly exposed to changing weather and environmental conditions. In Mississippi, some of the biggest concerns include:
Because concrete contains tiny pores, water and contaminants can make their way below the surface. Over time, this intrusion may contribute to cracks, discoloration, surface deterioration, and premature aging.
Applying a protective treatment while the concrete is still in good condition can help reduce its exposure to these damaging conditions.
GoNano is a penetrating concrete treatment that uses nanotechnology to work below the surface. Unlike products that merely form a film over the concrete, the treatment penetrates into the material and alters its properties to provide greater resistance to moisture and environmental stressors.
According to GoNano, its concrete treatment creates a waterproof barrier within the material and helps protect against water, salt, chlorine, UV radiation, and biological growth.
Because the treatment works within the concrete, it provides protection without covering the surface with a heavy, visible coating.
GoNano concrete treatment may be an option for many residential and commercial surfaces, including:
Before treatment, Cox Roofing can evaluate the concrete’s current condition and determine whether it is an appropriate candidate. Concrete that is already severely cracked or deteriorated may require repairs before a protective treatment can be considered.
Water is one of the leading contributors to concrete deterioration. When moisture repeatedly enters the pores of concrete, it can gradually weaken the material and contribute to cracking.
GoNano penetrates the concrete and creates a water-resistant barrier designed to reduce moisture intrusion. This can be particularly valuable for driveways, patios, walkways, and other uncovered surfaces exposed to frequent South Mississippi rain.
Pool decks and other concrete surfaces can be exposed to chlorine, salt, and additional contaminants. If these materials penetrate the concrete, they may contribute to staining or deterioration.
GoNano is designed to help prevent salt and chlorine from entering and weakening treated concrete, making it worth considering for concrete around swimming pools and other frequently exposed areas.
Mississippi sunshine can be hard on exterior surfaces. GoNano states that its concrete treatment reflects UV radiation, helping limit heat absorption and slow the effects of aging.
This added protection can help concrete surfaces maintain their condition despite prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat.
Moisture and humidity can encourage unwanted biological or plant growth on outdoor concrete. GoNano’s treatment is designed to help prevent cyanobacteria and plant growth from becoming established within the treated surface.
Although treated concrete will still need routine cleaning, reducing moisture penetration may make it easier to maintain a cleaner, more durable surface.
GoNano states that one application can protect qualifying concrete surfaces for up to 10 years, with certain conditions applying. The earlier a treatment is applied during the concrete’s usable life, the better the opportunity to protect it before significant damage develops.
A professional evaluation is important because the surface’s age, condition, previous treatments, and current damage can all affect whether it qualifies.
Not exactly. Many traditional sealers create a film or coating on the surface of the concrete. These coatings can wear, peel, or require repeated applications as they are exposed to traffic and weather.
GoNano is formulated as a penetrating treatment. Instead of relying solely on a surface layer, its nanoparticles enter the concrete and work within the material. This provides protection while allowing the concrete to maintain a more natural-looking finish.
The best time to protect concrete is generally before extensive deterioration occurs. You may want to consider an evaluation if your concrete:
GoNano is a protective treatment, not a substitute for repairing major cracks, settlement, or structural damage. Cox Roofing can inspect the surface and explain whether treatment, repair, or another solution is most appropriate.
Cox Roofing is known for helping Mississippi property owners protect their homes and businesses from the top down. In addition to residential and commercial roofing, the company provides advanced exterior coating services for other vulnerable areas of a property.
Cox Roofing also offers GoNano solutions for roof rejuvenation. Now, property owners can receive professional treatment for qualifying concrete surfaces as well.
Your driveway, patio, walkway, or pool deck is an important part of your property. Protecting it before extensive deterioration begins may help extend its serviceable life and reduce avoidable damage.
