THE internationally active Sarna Group which is headquartered in Sarnen,
Switzerland, focuses on two core activities.
The Sarnafil Division develops and manufactures high quality polymer
products for a wide range of demanding applications in the building and
construction industry, including roofing, waterproofing and civil engineering.
The Sarnamotive Division serves the automotive industry. Sarnafil International
Limited has its regional headquarters for Asia in Singapore.
Since 1964, Sarnafil has manufactured more than 325,000,000 sq m of
thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing membrane in Switzerland, China, and
the US. Sarnafil roofing and waterproofing systems protect a wide range of
buildings and structures, including schools and universities, libraries,
museums, hospitals, office towers, sports stadiums, green roofs and
international airports.
The company guarantees the good service life and performance of the
waterproofing systems employed. The latest polymer blends form the basis for
Sarnafil’s numerous developments. The majority of the company’s products
are recyclable. Eco-friendly production is also an integral part of Sarnafil’s
environmental management policy.
The company offers customers, besides the membranes, accessory products
and a comprehensive range of expert consultancy and other services, as well.
Sarnafil membranes are loosely laid and ballasted when used on utility decks
such as roof gardens and roof terraces. They can also be adhered to flat or
pitched roofs of practically any shape or configuration, and are designed to
fulfil high aesthetic requirements, in both new constructions and re-roofing
work.
In modern, light-weight roof designs, usually employing widespan,
trapezoid sections, Sarnafil offers the Sarnabar linear attached system and the
Sarnafast lap fastening system. These are mechanically fastened, exposed roof
designs. RnF
