At Parker Hannifin in Nacogdoches, Texas, M&M Roofing’s project combined a commercial reroof using Sarnafil 80-mil PVC with safety rail installation. The scope covered the roof membrane and a separate rooftop safety component.
Project details
- Facility: Parker Hannifin, Nacogdoches, Texas
- Building use: Industrial
- Roofing scope: Reroof
- Membrane: Sarnafil PVC, 80 mil
- Related work: Safety rail installation
Understanding the Sarnafil specification
The 80-mil designation describes a membrane thickness of 0.080 inches. Sarnafil PVC is a single-ply roofing membrane with hot-air-welded seams. Sika offers different Sarnafil products and roof assemblies, so thickness alone does not identify the attachment method, insulation or warranty for a project. See Sika’s PVC roofing membrane information.
Roof replacement and rooftop access
The Parker Hannifin scope included both reroofing and safety rails. For a facilities team planning similar work, roof access deserves attention alongside the membrane specification. Identify the equipment that needs service access, the work areas, site requirements and the scope of any safety equipment before the project begins.
When comparing reroof proposals, ask how the existing assembly will be assessed, what removal and replacement work is included, and how flashing, drainage and access details will be handled. Those decisions should be documented for the specific building.
