About Roofing

Combining performance with minimised environmental impact, our flat roofing systems and products protect buildings from all types of climate and weather conditions. Roofs are exposed every day to hazardous conditions and can be damaged and deteriorated over time. It is the most critical area of a building or structure which protects the users and interior from these hazards, and must be well-selected, well-designed and well-installed to be long-lasting without fail. Sika’s roofing systems are not only durable to wind, rain, snow, hail and other environmental conditions, but they also come with decades of Sika expertise and support.

Born over 60 years ago, Sika's roof systems such as Sarnafil®, Sikaplan®, Sikalastic® and SikaShield® are the most reliable and sustainable solutions of choice today.

We design. We manufacture. We innovate. We guarantee.
