Sustainability
Performance that Pays. Sustainability that's Smart.
How does your current roof rate for being sustainable? Are you ready to take the sustainability challenge? Do you want to become an expert in sustainable roof design. What exactly what IS a "sustainable roof"? Sika Sarnafil's new microsite, sustainability that pays was designed to answer this controversial subject and more.
50 years before "sustainable" or "green" were trendy, Sika Sarnafil was delivering high quality, energy efficient roofing and waterproofing solutions. This commitment has empowered our clients to lower maintenance and utility costs, reduce environmental impact and increase their ROI. If you are interested in doing the same, visit sustainability that pays to learn more.
Sika Sarnafil produces innovative, high quality vinyl roofing and waterproofing systems that measurably reduce a building’s environmental impact — and more. These energy-efficient, single-ply membranes minimize utility and maintenance costs — and deliver these savings to building owners year after year, with longevity and outstanding system performance measured in decades, rather than years.
The company’s reflective EnergySmart Roof® and vegetated “Green Roofs” help keep buildings and even the surrounding environment cooler, thereby lowering power consumption and helping to counter the “urban heat island effect” prevalent in cities across the country.
Solar-ready roofing systems from the company provides electrical power that helps offset the cost and carbon generation of traditional grid supplied power.
Lessened power demands lead to improved air quality and the expenditure of fewer natural resources.
Long-lasting roofs, of course, also need to be replaced less frequently — and thus conserve natural resources while reducing the demands on landfills.
Recycling is one of the best ways to conserve the earth’s resources, when a roof does reach the end of its useful life. Sika Sarnafil established the first recycling program for single-ply roofing systems and, in recent years, has reprocessed more than 20 million pounds of vinyl into new roofing membrane products.
Sika Sarnafil systems are proven performers with a 45 year history. Company membranes continue to perform after decades of use in a wide range of climates. More than 15 billion square feet of Sika Sarnafil membrane is protecting schools, libraries, hospitals, commercial and government buildings, and other high-value institutions around the world. Superior performance with minimal environmental impact — these characteristics are documented via numerous studies and reports from independent institutions.
