Sika-Membran is an efficient EPDM synthetic rubber waterproofing membrane for sealing construction gaps in building façades.
Sika-Membran joint sealing system was specified for New Providence Wharf, a cluster of stylish riverside apartment blocks in Canary Wharf in London.
Sika-Membran specified for two blocks – a 44-storey private residential tower and a 12-storey affordable housing, mixed-use development – using the system to create an air and weathertight seal around an estimated 22,000m2 of façade.
Efficient EPDM synthetic rubber waterproofing membrane from Sika
Used in conjunction with Sika’s SikaBond TF Plus N adhesive it offers an ultra-strong bond to create an airtight seal. Solvent free, durable, UV and ozone resistant and 100% waterproof, it can be bonded to most building substrates. Being highly elastic, it can be used on uneven substrates, making it suitable for the most demanding project.
Sika-Membran helps prevent the loss of heated or cooled air from within the building, minimising wasted energy. The system has also aided in the acoustic performance of the building by helping to minimise outside noise.
Regulates and controls the amount of moisture escaping from the inside of a building thus minimising the risk of interstitial condensation.
Stephen Nacson, Project Manager at Lindner Facades: “Sika-Membran is a product we’ve used consistently over the years – it always gets results. For a project the size of New Providence Wharf it was imperative we used a quality air sealant and water resistant product. Sika-Membran gave us another superb performance.”
