Food & Beverage

With over 55 years of experience, Sika Sarnafil has been helping food and beverage 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.

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 low/no-VOC and 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.

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.

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 offers a variety of systems requiring little or no roof deck penetrations to build the perfect system for your buildings unique requirements. This is especially important when roofing over food production areas.
