1. Sarnafil® Roofing

Sarnafil® single-ply roof membranes offer sustainable, resilient roofing solutions designed for long term performance while helping reduce cooling energy costs by up to 20%.

Performance
Sarnafil® membranes have a proven long term manufacturing experience of over 60 years.

Benefits
Sarnafil® membranes are UV and fire-resistant, provide excellent wind uplift resistance and are FM approved.

Sustainable
Sarnafil® membranes are highly reflective (SRI), thereby reducing energy costs. They also provide a long lifecycle, low environmental impact; are recyclable and LEED-, Green Globes®-, BBA-, BREEAM®-, DGNB®- and NSF- compliant.

Advanced Technology
Sarnafil® AT is the first single-ply membrane to achieve "Cradle to Cradle" certification and offer "self-healing" protection if or when punctured.

2. SikaShield® Bitumen Roofing

SikaShield® bituminous membranes are an excellent solution for durability and watertightness.

Variety
SikaShield® bituminous membranes are available in different application methods (torch, self-adhered, mechanically fixed, hot or cold applied).

Security
SikaShield® bituminous membranes have high resistance to mechanical damage and punctures, are resistant to hail, application shocks and other possible tearing. SikaShield® is trafficable during installation and has a high dimensional stability during all climate changes, guaranteeing its waterproofing properties.

Added Value
SikaShield® can integrate different systems and build-ups, even together with other technologies, always to achieve the required design.

3. Sika® SolarRoof PV System

Photovoltaic System
The Sika SolaRoof® System is a ground-breaking solar solution that combines the proven performance of Sika Sarnafil roof assemblies with the industry’s most innovative PV non-penetrating racking system.

Performance
The Sika SolaRoof® system reduces the amount of required labor by a surface-mounted application via hot air welding to the Sarnafil® membrane without any penetrations. Normally, no ballast is required for installation.

Applications
The Sika SolaRoof® system is versatile, lightweight, wind tested and warranted.

4. Sika Concrete Admixtures & SikaFiber®

Sika Admixtures and SikaFiber®
They can reduce water-cement ratios, accelerate the construction schedule, and increase the safety, as well as life span of the concrete and joint spacing.

Benefits
Reduce carbon footprint, and save time and money by eliminating steel reinforcement, submittals (shop drawings), installation labor and tripping hazards. SikaFiber® can possibly save up to 30% over conventional steel reinforced slabs.

Performance
Sika admixtures can minimize shrinkage, minimize permeability, increase strength. SikaFiber® will reduce cracking. Sika fibers and admixtures can increase durability, sustainability, life cycle and lower concrete maintenance costs.

Applications
Slabs, roof decks, composite metal decks, precast wall panels.
