Sika Sarnafil has launched a comprehensive roof refurbishment package in response to the growing activity in the waterproofing sector.
Sarnafil Plus was designed to provide a comprehensive package with ongoing support. It considers all elements to ensure that the correct specification, installation and application are met and that all accessories are Sarnafil / Sika branded to compliment the offer, having been tested for suitability within the Sarnafil system. The programme also offers insurance backed guarantees with a single point of responsibility to ensure piece of mind and protection for the client.
Before a project begins a member of the Sarnafil Plus team will conduct a comprehensive roof survey to determine which system is most suitable for the project and the budget. During the survey a core sample will be taken to assess the current roof construction and the condition of the substrate. During this investigation a photographic record will be made and, where deemed appropriate, investigative methods such as thermal imaging, photography and pull out tests will be used to confirm the condition of the existing deck.
A bespoke specification is then produced from the results of the roof survey, including project specific detail drawings, tapered insulation plans and roof layouts (where required), U-Value calculations, wind uplift calculations and condensation risk analysis. Life Cycle Cost Analysis evaluations can also be included upon request.
On site installation and application support is provided by the nationwide network of Sika Sarnafil field technicians, who regularly inspect the roof during works and, on satisfactory completion, provide an Inspection Certificate covering the correct installation.
John O’Raw, Sika Sarnafil’s area manager for Scotland, said: “Periodic inspection and maintenance of roofing assets are the most important elements of a successful roof management programme, and in turn are proven to reduce ownership costs and leak frequency, extend the roof’s life cycle and most importantly, provide facilities and building management operations with fewer interruptions. The Sarnafil Plus programme will help achieve such an outcome.”
