Upsides of Sika

01

Trained Labour

Sika Sarnafil’s approach has always been to work with Approved Applicators. Helping to ensure that the standard of workmanship will meet the quality of the roofing components. This is an ongoing process in which Sika Sarnafil annually provides training to new roofing contractor employees as well as refresher courses to seasoned roofers.

02

Abuse Resistance

Sika Sarnafil membranes exhibit excellent roof top abuse resistance. Sika roof systems can be designed and put up against the most abused roofs and still perform giving owners a peace of mind knowing their roof will withstand daily abuse.

03

Sustainability

Sika’s one-of-a-kind Roof Recycling Program for PVC membranes eases the burden on landfills while conserving natural resources. Under this recycling program, contractors return the bulk of an older PVC roof being torn off to Sika, thereby avoiding expenses related to the hauling of the waste to local dumping sites and associated tipping fees.

04

Life Cycle Cost

The typical service life expectancy of a Sika Sarnafil roof is 30+ years which is supported by an independent test from The National Research Council of Canada. At the end of a Sika Sarnafil roof life, membrane can be removed, additional insolation added and then reapply new membrane without the need to replace the complete roof system. Reusing existing materials saves cost and time.

05

Fire Performance

One of the most vulnerable components of a building exposed to fire is the roof. Sika PVC membranes do not require open flame welding but use heat induction welding eliminating risk of fires. The inherent fire resistance of Sika membranes is evidenced by successful achievement and full compliance with roofing's most significant fire safety requirements.

06

Safety

Roof top safety is key during and after installation. Sika Sarnafil has kept that in mind when developing their texture membrane line of PVC roof membranes. Texture membranes provide an anti slip surface for building owners to feel confident in having a safe surface for people to walk on.
