Sika Sarnafil Recognizes Roofing Consultants for 2008 Outstanding
Projects
Canton, Massachusetts. October 27, 2008
– Sika Sarnafil, a leading manufacturer of vinyl roofing and waterproofing systems, recently recognized
three roofing consultant firms for outstanding design and specification work.
Sika
Sarnafil Recognizes Roofing Consultants
A panel of eight independent
roofing consultants evaluated 16 project entries submitted by consultants for consideration. The projects
were evaluated on project design and complexity, design uniqueness, roof performance, and creative problem
solving.
First place recognition was awarded to Roof Tech, Inc., of Merrillville,
IN, for their work with the Smoky Row Elementary School in Carmel, IN. Roof Tech specified corrective
action for large portions of a leaking, standing seam metal roof. The challenge was to integrate new,
large roof sections into the remaining portions of an existing metal roof — and to do so seamlessly
from both a construction standpoint and from an aesthetic perspective. The school’s complex rooflines
ruled out the use of metal.
Roof Tech ultimately recommended Sika Sarnafil’s
Décor Roof System in a custom grey color. The ribbed vinyl membrane provided outstanding, watertight
protection and integrated perfectly into the existing metal roof sections.
Independent
Roofing Consultants (IRC) of Santa Ana, California was recognized in second place for their efforts
at the St. John's Regional Medical Center in Oxnard, California. IRC recommended a tear-off of the hospital’s
entire built-up roofing assembly, 170,000 sq. ft. in total, and the replacement of the system’s roofing
insulation. IRC specified Sika Sarnafil's highly reflective, energy-efficient EnergySmart Roof® membrane
as the new roofing system, and helped to coordinate the reroofing efforts without significantly affecting
the hospital population.
Third place recognition went to Roof Design & Consulting Services,
Inc., of Knoxville, TN, for their work on a series of buildings at the Orange Grove Center in Chattanooga,
TN — a private habilitation organization serving adults and children with developmental disabilities.
Roof Design initiated and coordinated corrective action for nearly 200,000 sq. ft. of failing roof situated
throughout the complex. The company specified Sika Sarnafil’s EnergySmart Roof for major portions of
this varied project, and completed the assignment on budget and with no interruption to the Center’s
activities.
Sika Sarnafil has more than 40 years experience manufacturing vinyl
roofing and waterproofing systems. These time proven systems are available in “vegetated” green roof,
solar and EnergySmart Roof® configurations, and installed throughout the world in all types of climates.
