Driving Performance in Roofing

No roofing manufacturer better understands or is more prepared to address, the unique challenges of the automotive industry than Sika Sarnafil. Challenges such as ever-increasing risks, costs, government regulations, and being more sustainable have a major impact on the budget, resources, and, ultimately, the cost of the product for consumers.

Solving Problems

With over 55 years of experience, Sika Sarnafil has been helping automotive customers solve their roofing problems by offering a fully customizable series of high performance thermoplastic roofing systems proven to be energy-efficient, highly resilient, and sustainable — factors that result in one of the lowest life-time ownership costs in the industry.

Addressing Your Needs

Any construction project that disrupts, delays, or shuts down production, or impacts customer experience, incurs enormous costs. That is why Sika Sarnafil offers multiple solutions from VOC/odor free products to non-penetrating roof securement systems to address every project’s specific needs relative to the building’s occupants, function, and valuable inventory inside.

Increasing Your Return on Investment

The initial installed cost, while a significant component, is only a fraction of the overall cost. The total cost of any roofing system is determined over its entire life cycle, taking into account system longevity, maintenance expenses, and disposal costs.

Your Challenges, Our Solutions

Leak-Free Environment: No other thermoplastic roofing membrane has a longer track record of proven performance than Sarnafil. Third-party testing agencies in both Europe and the United States agree that a “service life of 35 years of Sarnafil roofing membrane…reflects the high resistance to weathering and aging of the product when properly installed1.”

Minimal Roof Deck Penetrations: With a wide range of adhesives for both insulation and membrane securement, and our new Self-Adhered Membrane and Flashing, Sika has a variety of systems requiring little to no roof deck penetrations to build the perfect system for your buildings unique requirements. This is especially important when roofing over automotive production areas.

Specifying Sustainable Products: Sika Sarnafil’s EnergySmart Roofmembranes can help decrease cooling costs in your building while ourSika SolaRoof can help you generate energy by harnessing the power of the sun. Depending on your local codes, installing a solar roof could come with added tax incentives.

VOC/Odor Free Products: The Sarnafil Self-Adhered Membrane is the first and only Peel and Stick PVC membrane in the industry. And with the introduction of the new Self-Adhered Flashing Membrane, you can install a complete adhered roofing system without any concerns of liquid adhesive VOC’s or odors, an important factor when reroofing over automotive production and other sensitive areas.
