Sika Roofing Installers

Why Sika?

With more than sixty years of single ply membrane manufacturing behind it, few roofing companies can match the depth of expertise that Sika brings to the market.

The story began in 1962 in the Swiss town of Sarnen, where Sarna Kunststoff AG developed the world’s first synthetic single ply roofing membrane, Sarnafil. Over the following decades, Sarnafil grew into the international benchmark for single ply quality, before being acquired by Sika in 2005 and integrated into one of the largest construction-materials groups in the world.

Today, Sika operates in more than 100 countries, and Sarnafil membranes have been installed across well over a billion square metres of roof worldwide, protecting everything from local sports halls to landmark airports, hospitals, and corporate headquarters. That scale delivers a depth of testing, refinement, and real-world performance data that few competitors can rival.

Benefits of Sika’s Extensive Roofing Range

Sika’s UK headquarters is located in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and its Sarnafil systems are installed across the country through a tightly controlled network of approved contractors, Salmon Solutions among them.

The benefits of a Sika roof are impressive and far reaching. They include:

• The confidence and quality that comes from specifying the global market leader in single ply membrane roofing, backed by one of the world’s largest building-materials manufacturers
• A BBA-certified durability in excess of 40 years, supported by decades of in-situ performance data on Sika roofs already past the 30-year mark and still performing
• A complete system range, including adhered, mechanically fastened, and ballasted systems, dedicated green-roof build-ups, and decorative profiled finishes that replicate the look of standing-seam metal
• Hot-air welded seams rather than adhesives or solvents, creating a permanent, homogeneous waterproof joint and keeping the installation chemical-free
• A strong sustainability record: Sarnafil membranes are fully recyclable at end of life, and Sika has committed to ambitious science-based decarbonisation targets across its global operations
• Top-tier fire performance, with standard Sarnafil membranes achieving Broof(t4), the highest external fire classification

Across more than six decades at the forefront of the industry, Sika has developed an unmatched body of single ply expertise, continuing to invest in pioneering products that meet the most demanding architectural, performance, and sustainability briefs.
