Roof Coating Saved California Municipality Thousands

By Sika. 

How several buildings in San Francisco rehabilitated their roofs with this coating. 

When a municipality near San Francisco needed multiple roof upgrades, several Sika products were used in the process. The large projects required an economical re-coat of multiple asphalt roofs using a product that was easy to apply and highly durable. Thanks to Sika, the municipality avoided having to spend a lot of money to replace their roofs. 

Beginning in the fall of 2019, installation of the Sikalastic 500 silicone-based roof coating began on the clubhouse roof of the local golf course. A successful result on this highly valued property has since led to installations on two warehouse structures at the city’s maintenance yard, the most recent of which was completed in November 2019. 

With the availability of multiple primers, sealants, and accessory items to address nearly any sound substrate and warranty programs with terms up to 20 years, Sika provides a complete solution, not just a coating. Contact your local Sika representative today and find out how to enhance the safety of your facility and the life of your roof.
