Sarnafil PVC Roofing and Waterproofing Membrane Celebrates 60th Anniversary

Sika Sarnafil announced that the company’s flagship Sarnafil branded membrane has hit a record-breaking 60 years of proven performance. 

In 1958, a company called Sarna was formed in Switzerland to develop polymeric products, and in 1962 this small company did something very big. Company chemists developed the first PVC membrane reinforced with fabric, leading to a number of industrial applications that included a growing roofing and waterproofing membrane market. This tear-resistant PVC membrane was patented and trademarked “Sarnafil.” 

“Sixty years ago, we started with one mission in mind, to produce the industry’s longest lasting, most resilient PVC roofing and waterproofing membrane around, and today that mission is stronger than ever,” said Sebastien Godard, executive vice president of Sika Sarnafil USA. “The Sarnafil brand is synonymous with performance in the commercial construction industry.  We have customers who after 40 years of installing Sarnafil still won’t install anything else.  That speaks volumes.”  

“And let’s not forget our customers,” noted Bill Bellico, vice president of Marketing and Inside Sales for Sika Sarnafil USA. “We really owe all of our success to the many approved applicators, roof consultants, architects, general contractors and building owners who have not only supported Sika Sarnafil and Sarnafil Systems but also helped elevate roofing systems as a whole from a commodity product to being viewed as the first line of defense in protecting your building.”
