FAQ
Sika bitumen vapour control membranes are fully compatible with the SikaShield® bituminous membranes systems.
Liquid applied roofing membranes are used on flat and low-slope roofs in both new build and refurbishment projects. Liquid applied membranes are especially suitable for roofs with complicated details, upstands, penetrations or limited access.
Sika offers a range of liquid applied roofing systems including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyurethane (PU) membranes.
Liquid membranes provide seamless coverage, excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates and ease of installation around complex details. They are also ideal for cold applied, flame-free applications, reducing fire risk on site.
Yes. Sika’s liquid applied membrane systems are suitable for roof refurbishment projects.
Polyurethane (PU) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) membranes are both liquid-applied waterproofing systems, but they have key differences. PU membranes typically cure more slowly and offer excellent flexibility, making them ideal for roofs with complex details and movement. PMMA membranes cure much faster and are suited for projects with tight timeframes or low temperature application requirements. The choice between the two depends on site conditions, performance needs and installation timelines.
