Sika has developed a safe and secure solution for roof refurbishment. The SikaShield® membranes were re-designed to produce an effective, easy and simple product for all seasons, without demolition.

The SikaShield® VMS membranes are manufactured with grooves to control and allow for trapped moisture that may be in the existing system.
