SIKA’S NEW OFFERING<br />
Sika has launched a complete<br />
Green Roof package, supplying<br />
both the high performance roof<br />
waterproofing system and the green<br />
roof system, all backed by its trusted<br />
technical and application support.<br />
Specifiers can now go to Sika’s<br />
roofing experts for the full spectrum<br />
of roofing technologies, from hot<br />
melt structural waterproofing and<br />
reinforced bituminous membranes<br />
to single ply and cold-applied liquid<br />
membranes, depending on what is<br />
best for the project in question, all<br />
of which can now be laid with a Sika<br />
Green Roof system on top. The new<br />
systems are manufactured in the<br />
UK and are available in three of the<br />
most common green roof types —<br />
extensive, intensive and biodiverse.<br />
Sarah Peake, Sika’s Sustainability<br />
Manager, said: “The construction<br />
of new buildings can play a huge<br />
role in contributing to the world’s<br />
sustainability targets and green<br />
roofs are part of the solution. The<br />
fact that the green roof market is<br />
growing by approximately 17 per<br />
cent per year speaks for itself.<br />
Thanks to its numerous ecobenefits,<br />
a Sika Green Roof can<br />
help architects hit sustainable<br />
development targets and achieve an<br />
improved rating from schemes such<br />
as BREEAM and WELL, which are<br />
instrumental in helping us build for a<br />
better future.”<br />
