Sarnafil Inc. and Roofscapes, Inc. Offer Single Source Green Roof System Warranty
Canton,
MA, August 17, 2006 – Sarnafil Inc., a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing
systems and Roofscapes, Inc. a preeminent full-service green roof firm, announce a single source Sarnafil
system warranty agreement for extensive green roof systems. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies
agree to jointly promote green roofs and to offer a single source Sarnafil warranty.
“We
are pleased to be the industries’ first single–ply roofing manufacturer to offer a single source green
roof warranty,” said Brian Whelan, president and CEO of Sarnafil Inc. “This agreement brings together
two of the best companies in the green roofing market with a combined green roofing experience of more
than 40 years.”
Green roofs consist of a planted area on a roof surface.
They offer numerous benefits to the building owner and the environment including, reduced building heating
and cooling costs, protection of the waterproofing membrane, improved air quality, storm water retention,
reduction in the urban heat island effect and aesthetic appeal.
“The
Sarnafil – Roofscapes, Inc. agreement offers a breakthrough for the architect and building owner,” said
Charlie Miller, president of Roofscapes, Inc. “Green roof systems require specialized design and installation
expertise. It is imperative that the waterproofing system design and materials be of the highest quality
to avoid costly and difficult repairs in the future. Likewise, the growing medium and vegetated cover
design and maintenance are critical to the vitality of the roofing system. Now building owners can have
the peace-of-mind of working with the industries’ most experienced green roof team and get a single
source warranty covering the entire system.”
The team of Sarnafil and
Roofscapes, Inc. utilizes time-tested design principals while customizing each installation to satisfy
the unique demands of regional climates and conditions.
Sarnafil and
Roofscapes, Inc. encourage a design-build relationship with the owner and designer to address all issues
involving the waterproofing design, plant selection, water management and conservation, maintenance
requirements, and system weight in an effort to tailor the vegetated roof to climatic constraints and
the client’s needs.
