Roofing System and Roof Expansion Joint from Sika Emseal

Roofing System & Expansion Joint Warranty — Sika Sarnafil/Emseal

Roofing system membranes, and expansion joints that bridge and seal structural expansion joint openings, are under constant exposure to the elements. The ability to function here, accommodate complex changes in plane and direction, and provide continuity of seal to adjacent vertical joint seals is crucial in ensuring a watertight seal. A comprehensive warranty from a single source that covers both the membrane and the expansion joint is now available.

Sika Sarnafil and Sika Emseal are pleased to announce that when Emseal’s RoofJoint product is used in conjunction with Sarnafil® and Sikaplan®  roofing systems, Sika can provide a single-source, full-system warranty for up to 20 years.

Emseal’s Roofjoint is a dual-seal, double-flanged, extruded thermoplastic (nitrile PVC alloy) roof expansion joint system that easily accommodates deck movement and provides redundant levels of integration with Sarnafil and Sikaplan PVC roofing systems. RoofJoint also addresses specific detailing conditions to ensure continuity of seal, such as tees, crosses, parapet details, and roof to wall transitions. All connections in Roofjoint components are welded and reinforced to ensure watertight integrity.

Roofjoint is marketed and sold through Sika Emseal sales channels. Emseal will provide the necessary support to the designer as well as to Sarnafil’s authorized applicators that install it. Emseal’s Roofjoint product data sheet and installation guidelines provide specifics.
