Building owners and specifiers are increasingly looking towards more sustainable roofing options. Our eco roofing process involves reusing existing materials and recycling our membrane in order to minimize waste.
Over 25+ years ago, our clients started implementing more efficient and sustainable processes. Two years ago, they started enjoying the benefits.
Algoma District School Board along with the help of specifier, Bruce Caughill, had the forethought of altering their existing processes and purchasing decisions to decrease the material usage and costs of their future projects by choosing a Sika Sarnafil roof. The re-roofing of Central Algoma Secondary School used roughly 88% less new insulation, and over 90% of the waterproofing membrane was recycled while reducing the cost of the roof and future re-roofings.

Cool roofs reflect solar radiation instead of absorbing it which reduces the amount of energy required for air conditioning and maintaining the environment of your building. White Sika Sarnafil roofing membranes are among the most reflective roofing options and keep their quality for many years. There is a lot of interest in cool roofs because they reduce the heat island effect in cities and help mitigate climate change.
Installing solar panels on rooftops contributes to reducing operating costs and environmental impact by generating energy on-site. With the prices of photovoltaic systems continually decreasing, this is becoming an increasingly attractive investment for private and public buildings. Our roofing solutions offer options for solar installations.
A living or green roof involves adding a growing medium like soil and plants to your building rooftop. There are many benefits to green roofing from creating garden and meeting spaces on rooftops to filtering storm water, improving air quality and energy efficiency of your building. Our roofing systems can be used for green roof installations.
Our eco projects are able to significantly decrease the amount of materials and waste by using ecologically friendly processes and cicular economy principles including re-using materials that are still serviceable and recycling waste from the old roof.
SRP provides rooftop safety systems to reduce the incidence of injury and create safer working environments. It is important that rooftop safety policies are in place and all employees are trained on working at heights and provided with the appropriate equipment.
Even the experienced can suffer injuries or worse. Please ensure that all personel accessing the rooftop are properly trained, equiped and aware of possible hazards.
