Application steps

APPLICATION

Sarnafil S 327 is rolled out after proper preparation of the approved substrate and fastened to the roof deck with appropriate mechanically attached system with Sarnafasteners in accordance with Sika’s technical requirements. Sarnafil S 327 seams are heat‐welded together by trained operators using hot‐air welding equipment. Different mechanically attached systems require different application methods. Please consult Sika’s Specifications or Applicator Handbook for detailed installation procedures.
