More Value
Sarnafil® and Sikaplan® thermoplastic roofing systems have a proven life expectancy of 50 years
Sikalastic® liquid-applied membranes are an outstanding refurbishment solution that extend the lifetime of existing roofs
Less Impact
Sika thermoplastic mechanically fastened and adhered roofing systems provide superior durability, which means fewer replacements during the service life of the building, thus saving costs, reducing energy and carbon footprint
Upgrading existing roofing systems is a cost-effective method of saving energy, minimizing disruption to operations of the building installation and reducing costs, waste and carbon emissions

More Value - Less Impact
Sika roofing systems contribute to achieving multiple credits in most relevant green building certification programs such as LEED and BREEAM by:
Reducing energy consumption and the heat island effect with highly reflective Sika roofing membranes
Using high-performance Sika thermal insulation
Enhancing the thermal performance and buildings with Sika green roofs
Using Sika roofing membranes that include recycled content
Sika provides externally verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools that can be used as part of the certification process
Sika provides customized and project specific Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculations and reports (available on request)
