Green roofs work by creating a roofing surface that allows for vegetation to grow and water to drain through. They absorb rainwater through the build-up of plants, soil, and drainage layer down to the waterproofing membrane and substrate.

Green roofs offer tangible benefits for end users, inhabitants, owners and the greater community. They can range from economic and ecological to social and aesthetic reasons.

Green roofs are not a new concept, but they have grown in popularity over the past decade as people aim to achieve more sustainable construction projects and utilise previously unused spaces, such as flat roofs.

Sika Industry know-how in replacing nails, screws and rivets has a long-proven track record since back in the 80’s. This journey has now begun in the modular building industry. Millions and millions of screws and nails are used by every customer: time consuming, noisy, expensive and lot of waste. In addition, producers have now requested adhesives for a bonding solution.

Whether you're an architect, roofing applicator or anyone involved in selecting the right bituminous roofing, it's hard to know where to begin.

Smart use of water–based materials can be an effective strategy against moisture-related problems in floor constructions. This is what we implement in our Sikafloor® MultiDur water-based epoxy range. Tough and water vapor permeable, plus low VOC & odor, Sikafloor® MultiDur water-based epoxy flooring systems are especially suitable for your next functional floors if you have issues of humidity or rising moisture in the floor slab. Additionally, among the range, the system Sikafloor® MultiDur WS-26 has the unique performance of the fire classification A2fl -S1.

Employee safety is one of the most important requirements for any workplace. Slips and falls are among the most common injuries at work. They account for about 86% of total injuries, and 90% of these happen because the floor is wet. These injuries are particularly prevalent in the food industry, where they occur four times more often than the average in other industries. Injuries can create significant impacts to all involved. The most significant is the suffering and possible disabling of the person injured. The next is impact on the company — financial, loss of key staff, loss of productivity, and liability.

Dry shake aggregate floor hardeners are commonly applied to the surface of freshly placed concrete to improve wear resistance and occasionally to color a concrete surface. They decrease typical plain concrete negative properties like dusting and liquid absorption by improving the abrasion resistance and reducing surface permeability.

The task of wood floor adhesives is to firmly bond the organic wood floor elements to the generally inorganic screed. The adhesive must hold the wood in place, connect it to the underlying screed and transfer stress originating from the natural expansion and contraction of the wood to the generally rigid screed. The undesired but natural movement of the wood can become visible in cupping, joint formation, or in extreme situations failure of the adhesive or screed.
