It is common for roofing manufacturers to market warranties as “the guarantee” of a quality installation. Don’t be fooled. Too often, the only thing about a warranty that a building owner considers is length-which is probably the least important part. While a warranty can be a very beneficial part to a building owner. It does not guarantee a leak proof roof.
With or without a warranty, the long term performance of a roof depends on 4 things:
Even before a warranty is issued, building owners, roof consultants, architects, specifiers and other people knowledgeable about roofing systems should make their new or re-roof decisions based on a product and company with a proven performance history. Sika’s roofing is the only thermoplastic membrane manufacturer with more than 50 years of proven performance history using the same basic membrane formulation. Our proof of long-term success is evident on buildings around the world.
A Sika warranty is transferable to a new building owner, making your roof a marketing asset during a sale negotiation.
Sika is a financially strong, reliable company, backed by its Swiss parent, Sika Corporation. Our parent company is publicly traded on the Swiss stock exchange. The Sika Roofing division is a company you can count on to be there for you if you should ever have a warranty claim.
Upon completion of all Axis BC Roofing projects with standard and system warranties, Sika’s field technical representatives complete an extensive inspection of the roof to ensure the installation meets our high standards of quality workmanship.
