  • 6 Mar 2015

Sika Sarnafil’s single ply and waterproofing membrane products were specified for their flexibility and durability

The ‘Walkie Talkie’ building, which has obtained a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, combines 13,000 square feet of retail space with 680,000 square feet of offices overlooking London.

The top three floors of the 34-storey building accommodate a bar, restaurants, a large viewing deck and a Sky Garden.

The project’s contractors, Fenland Flat Roofing, were required to fit a lightweight walkable roof area for the access walkways and perimeter edges of the glazed roof.

The specified roofing product had to curve in two directions and provide access to the garden and restaurant.

Sika Sarnafil G410-12EL single ply was chosen for installation.
