Sika is a worldwide leader in manufacturing resilient and sustainable roofing and waterproofing solutions for commercial construction projects. A roofing or waterproofing system plays an essential role in protecting a building or substrate. Ultraviolet rays, extreme weather, and ponding water all conspire to compromise the system prematurely, leading to leaking, damage to the building, costly repairs, and possibly an early tear-off and re-roof.
Sika responds to these challenges by offering a variety of system technologies from single-ply PVC or Modified Bitumen membranes to hot and cold liquid-applied membranes, our products, systems, and services are designed to meet the needs of any building owner all over the world. With 60+ years of experience and a reputation for making buildings and structures watertight in every imaginable climate, you are not only choosing a system that can withstand extreme elements but one that will be able to provide superior protection for decades. That is the Sika difference!
Sika offers many liquid-applied roofing & waterproofing membrane solutions under the Sikalastic® and Hydrotech® brands to meet your project's specific needs. Sikalastic’s Liquid-Applied Membranes (LAM) have a 60+ year history of performance and come as either a one or two-component formulation. Sikalastic’s one-component cold-applied products are high solids polyurethane, high solids silicone, and type 1 acrylic technologies. Sikalastic’s two-component cold-applied products are polyurea hybrids with optional polyaspartic topcoats, and the two-component hot-applied product is pure polyurea.
Used as either a long-term roofing or waterproofing solution or to do an inexpensive coating to extend the life of the current system, Sikalastic liquid membranes create a seamless, watertight, elastomeric membrane that has proven to perform in some of the toughest climates. Liquid membranes conform to complicated details and penetrations with ease and little to no waste. Sikalastic products are an industry-leading liquid-applied solution when above and below-grade waterproofing applications demand the very best.

Over 60 years ago, the industry’s first reinforced PVC membrane sheet was created with one goal in mind: to become the longest-lasting, most resilient PVC roofing membrane in the industry. Today, Sarnafil® still sets the standard that all others measure themselves by with third-party certification noting that a Sarnafil membrane can be expected to have a “service life of 35 years” and “reflects high resistance to weathering and aging of the product when properly installed.”*
Recognizing that all projects have different performance and budgetary requirements, Sikaplan® PVC membranes were introduced 40+ years ago to offer customers watertight protection at a competitive price. And because it is produced by Sika, customers trust that it is a quality, reliable sheet.
Along with Sika’s PVC membranes, Sarnafil and Sikaplan, Sika also offers Modified Bitumen membrane for roofing & waterproofing applications, SikaShield®. Like with PVC, Sika is seen as a leader in asphalt technology with over 100 years of experience. SikaShield is not only made from premium raw ingredients but also uses them in the right combination to achieve better results in cold flexibility, heat resistance, viscosity, softness, and longevity. SikaShield is not only made from premium raw ingredients but uses them in the right combination to achieve better results in cold flexibility, heat resistance, viscosity, softness, and longevity. Thanks to its superior waterproofing qualities, SikaShield is widely used in commercial construction, either for new buildings or renovation projects.

What is a Liquid Applied Roofing Membrane? Liquid Applied Roofing Membranes/Fluid Applied Roofing Membranes are monolithic, fully-bonded, fluid-based coatings that have the capability of being fully or locally reinforced in transitional areas on a roof.
These liquid applied membranes, also known as fluid-applied membranes, can be applied over various substrates such as concrete, brick, wood, mod-bit, TPO, PVC, EPDM and many other surfaces.
When these coatings cure, they form a rubber-like, elastomeric, seamless waterproofing membrane with no cracks, gaps or voids to allow the ingress of water. The superior conformability and customization of liquids allow for easy application of roofing systems to complicated details and penetrations with little to no waste.
Sikalastic RoofPro products have been used for roofing and waterproofing in the US for over 34 years. Most applications are warranted for 20 years and are applied by approved applicators. Sikalastic RoofPro can be used to waterproof balconies, walkways, planters, plazas, foundation walls, green roofs, inverted roofs, built-up roofs, roof terraces, and much more! Click on any of the projects below to learn how Sikalastic RoofPro was used as a problem solver and protector for building owners, specifiers, and contractors across America.

Kaspar Winkler was driven by his entrepreneurial spirit when he laid the cornerstone of
our company in 1910. He was born into a modest cobbler family and emigrated quite early from Austria to Switzerland.
There he invented Sika-1, a quick-setting waterproofing admixture for mortar, which was used to waterproof the Gotthard Tunnel, enabling the Swiss railway company to electrify this important connection between Northern and Southern Europe.
Innovation met demand! Kaspar Winkler recognized an upcoming global need for his “trailblazing” admixtures and launched subsidiaries around the world. Already in the 1930s, 15 Sika subsidiaries in Europe, USA, Argentina, Brazil and Japan established new construction chemicals markets.
Today the new Gotthard Tunnel (NEAT: New European Alp Transit) again is an important project for Sika. Although Sika-1 is still part of our product range, today much more advanced products are being used. High-tech admixtures for shotcrete and tailored waterproofing systems are needed to build this 57 km tunnel – the longest tunnel on earth – through the Swiss Alps. We can be proud of our history and look to the future with optimism, as our know-how, our service and our products are needed more than ever.
