Sika
Sarnafil has launched its latest flat roofing innovation, a completely unique
‘peel and stick’ self-adhered single ply membrane that does not require a
primer.
Quick and
easy to install, it also mitigates the potential risks associated with
adhesives and primers, making it a trusted choice for contractors and
specifiers alike.
The
G410-15 EL SA membrane combines Sika Sarnafil’s tried and tested BBA certified
single ply membrane with new self-adhesive technology, researched and developed
in Switzerland. The adhesive is factory installed, removing the need for
on-site application.
Thanks to
this new technology, the membrane does not require a primer and is free from
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Not only does this significantly speed up
the installation process, it is also beneficial from a health and safety and
environmental perspective, alleviating the risks for the specifier, contractor
and client.
The
absence of VOCs means that the new system is especially well suited to
sensitive environments such as hospitals, schools and other public buildings
that could be in use during roofing works.
Dean
Grady, Product Manager for Single Ply Membranes at Sika said: “This new roofing
system was born out of listening to our customers and finding out what they
really need. As market leaders it’s important to constantly reassess the market
and develop new technologies to advance the installation, health and safety and
sustainability of roofing products.
“We’re
not a company to rest on our laurels and the launch of our new self-adhered
membrane proves just that. It’s an industry first that is fast and
straightforward to fit faultlessly, while giving architects and clients the
reassurance they need when it comes to specifying a safe and robust roofing
system.”
Supplied
as part of a complete system, the G410-15 EL SA membrane must be installed with
SarnaTherm G insulation in order to qualify for the Sika Sarnafil guarantee.
As with
all Sika Sarnafil roofing systems, G410-15 EL SA has been fire tested to meet
ENV 1187 Broof(t4) and BS476 Part 3.
