Proven Performance & Aesthetic Appeal
Sarnafil Benefits
From low-slope and steep-slope roofs to solar installations and mission-critical applications, Sika Sarnafil systems meet the demands of nearly any roofing project.
Sarnafil Thickness Guarantee
The Sarnafil Thickness Guarantee ensures that the membrane’s thickness meets the labeled specification according to ASTM D-751 standards at the time of installation—providing excellent waterproofing and consistency in heat-welded seams.
Extreme Weather Protection
Sarnafil membranes are engineered to endure extreme weather conditions, including high wind ratings and resistance to very severe hail. They excel in climates with temperature fluctuations, moisture, and severe weather events that can test the limits of roof performance.
Customizable Style
Color customization options are available for clients looking to match or enhance their building’s architectural design. Sarnafil can be used to accentuate distinctive building features without the need for recoating, making them a popular choice for projects where aesthetics are just as important as performance.
Naturally Fire Resistant
The PVC membranes used in Sarnafil systems are naturally fire-resistant, and will self-extinguish when the source of the flame is removed. Sarnafil PVC membranes also exhibit a greater resistance to the spread of flames, providing an additional layer of safety for building occupants and reducing the risk of fire-related damage.
Lower Maintenance
Sarnafil systems are known for their watertight protection and resistance to environmental elements. Sarnafil membranes have a unique coating that helps repel dirt and airborne contaminants, keeping the roof cleaner for longer and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Sustainable &
Energy Efficient
Sarnafil single-ply roofing membranes are designed with features that promote longevity, energy efficiency, recyclability, and minimal maintenance. By using Sika Sarnafil roofing, businesses can also move toward achieving important certifications such as LEED and Green Globes.
Flexible Sarnafil Installation Methods
Sarnafil stands out for its design versatility. Building owners and architects can choose from a variety of systems that cater to specific needs.
Adhered Systems
Adhered systems are particularly effective for low-sloped, uniquely shaped, or pitched roofs composed of non-nailable substrates such as concrete or gypsum. They are also suitable for nailable substrates like steel or wood decks. Sarnafil’s Decor roof systems are ideal for projects that require the aesthetic look of a metal roof but need the watertight features and design flexibility that only a thermoplastic system can provide.
Mechanically Attached Systems
For those seeking quick and efficient installation, mechanically attached systems like Sarnafast provide a reliable solution. Metal plates are fastened in the membrane overlap, with spacing designed to meet wind uplift requirements. In areas with high winds or extreme conditions, we can assist with the design of the roof system to help withstand strong pressures, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
Specialty Systems
Sika Sarnafil offers specialty systems designed for enhanced durability and performance, such as Rhinobond, which streamlines installation and improves wind uplift resistance. Sarnafil’s Hybrid system provides a durable, multi-layered roofing solution that is ideal for buildings requiring additional protection and longevity, combining the benefits of advanced materials with reliable waterproofing.
Installation
Sarnafil roofing systems are installed by authorized Sika roof pros who have undergone specialized training. This ensures that the installation process meets the high standards required for long-lasting performance. The membranes are thermoplastic, and seams and flashings are welded together using Sika’s automatic hot-air welder, which creates a strong, watertight bond that prevents moisture infiltration and improves the longevity of the roof. Sarnafil membranes absorb less moisture than many competitors, further enhancing their reliability and extending their service life.
Warranty Options
Sika offers a range of NDL warranty options, including no ponding water exclusions, allowing building owners to choose from coverage periods of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years for membranes or full systems. These warranties ensure that the roof will remain protected for decades, giving building owners peace of mind and long-term assurance of their investment. With a Sika Sarnafil roofing system, you’re not just getting a roof—you’re investing in the future performance and sustainability of your building.
Solutions For Any Space
Sika Sarnafil roofing systems stand out not only for their technical reliability and watertight performance but also for their design versatility and sustainability.
