Sikaplan® Universal-60 EnergySmart

60 mil thick PVC thermoplastic membrane

Sikaplan® Universal-60 EnergySmart Roof Membrane is a PVC thermoplastic membrane produced with a polyester scrim reinforcement. Sikaplan Universal-60 utilizes the Pro-Weld™ visual indicator to provide real-time feedback that the proper seam welding temperature and speed settings are being used during installation.

  • Highly reflective
  • Excellent tear strength resistance
  • Factory applied lacquer coating to reduce dirt pick up
  • Hot-air welded seams for long-term performance
  • Pro-WeldTM visual welding temperature indicator1
1 White membrane only

APPLICATION

In mechanically attached applications, Sikaplan Universal-60 EnergySmart  is installed on acceptable substrates and fastened to the roof deck using the approved attachment method. In adhered applications, the membrane is unrolled into approved Sikaplan or Sarnacol adhesive in accordance with Sika's technical requirements and then pressed into place with a minimum 75 lb (34 kg) steel roller. The membrane is heat‐welded together by trained mechanics using hot‐air welding equipment.
