Application

Application steps

APPLICATION

Sikaplan® Universal-60 Feltback 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.
