Parking structures are faced with a unique set of challenges and considerations. Designed for decades of daily vehicular traffic, they endure prolonged exposure to the harshest elements, including snow and ice, chemicals and abrasion, thermal movement, and demanding load conditions. Structures must also be safe for users, aesthetically pleasing and complementary to adjacent building architecture. Unprotected concrete exposed to rainfall, freeze-thaw, carbonation and deicing salts will deteriorate. “Passive” protection originally provided by the cement paste around the reinforcing steel will be destroyed, and unseen corrosion of embedded steel will occur, often resulting in spalls, cracks and leaks. Sika’s wide range of polyurethane and epoxy traffic coatings are designed to make concrete decks impermeable to water while offering durability and flexibility that meets the most demanding service conditions. Sikalastic Traffic Systems offer a full range of elastomeric, crack-bridging waterproofing solutions. Sikagard protective coatings for walls and ceilings are formulated for ease of application and environmental safety, in addition to numerous performance benefits. These benefits include carbonation reduction, protection against water, chlorides and chemical ingress, hairline crack sealing, protection against cracking caused by dynamic and thermal movement, and improved light reflectivity and brightness. THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD? BUILDING ENVELOPE SOLUTIONS FROM SIKA. ROOFING BUILDING ENVELOPE SOLUTIONS FROM SIKA. From world-renowned art museums to warehouses, roofing systems from Sika Corporation have been providing reliable protection to facilities from around the world for more than 50 years, in all types of climates. The roofing system plays an integral role in the protection of the building envelope, shielding it from the elements in a very hostile environment. Ultraviolet rays, ponding water and high winds all conspire to compromise the roof prematurely, leading to leaking, damage to the building, costly repairs, and possibly an early tear-off and re-roof. Sika responds to these challenges with a variety of roofing systems designed to meet the specific needs and budget of almost any application. Sika’s proven roofing systems do much more than simply keep buildings tight to the weather, however. Versatile single-ply and liquid-applied membrane systems boast sustainability features that save building owners money over the life of the roof—features that include unparalleled longevity, outstanding energy efficiency, durability with minimal maintenance, and recyclability. Sika works with a nationwide network of authorized roofing applicators to understand your needs and provide the right system for your roof. Whether it’s a roof coating to extend the life of your existing roof or a new liquid-applied or single-ply roofing system, you can count on Sika and its applicators to provide a technologically sound solution that will protect your building for years and even decades to come. Schools, libraries, hospitals, stadiums and arenas, retail stores, factories and more around the globe rely on Sika roofing systems to protect their buildings. Many of these systems are still performing after 25 and 30 years of service. Sika roofing systems address virtually any roofing application, regardless of slope, with configurations specifically developed for low and steep slope roofs, vegetated green roofs, plaza decking and solar roofing.
