Sika’s Roofing experts are hosting a live online launch event for its new Green Roof systems on 1 June 2021. All attendees will be in with a chance of winning their very own bee hotel.
This launch event is in response to the construction industry’s drive to build a more sustainable future.
The launch will cover everything an architect or contractor needs to know about the sustainability and economic benefits of green roofs and what to consider when specifying one. Event attendance is free and suitable for any construction professionals with an interest in the future of sustainable building solutions.
It is simple to register – just visit the Sika website: www.sika.co.uk/greenroof
During the 45 minute session, experts from Sika’s Roofing Team, including Sustainability Manager Sarah Peake, will cover a number of topics. These include…
– understanding what constitutes a green roof
– the benefits they provide
– the different types Sika will provide and their suitability to certain applications
– the relevant design considerations.
The launch will close with a Q&A session.
Sika’s new systems, available from June, provide solutions for three types of green roofing build-ups – extensive, intensive and biodiverse. These systems will be available as part of a complete, high-performance package from Sika.
These also include the waterproofing element of the roof – whether this is hotmelt, reinforced bitumen membrane, single ply or cold-applied liquid solutions.
The new Sika Green Roof will come with the same technical support the company continuously provides over the years. From initial design and specification through to installation, site inspections and final sign off of the roof, Sika’s technical expertise is available every step of the way.
As an extra bonus, Sika is giving ten lucky attendees the chance to win a bee hotel. This is to aid biodiversity in their own gardens and outdoor spaces.
These small structures are the perfect breeding places for solitary bees, which naturally nest in hollow stems, earth banks or dead wood.
To be in with a chance to win, sign up to the Green Roof Live Launch here: www.sika.co.uk/greenroof. Competition terms and conditions can be found here.
