Three Decades of Pioneering Innovation with Decothane liquid roofing membranes ..

1987 was the year that Margaret Thatcher won a third term in office, Timothy Dalton made his debut as James Bond and the Queen officially opened the Docklands Light Railway.

It was also the year that Decothane transformed cold-applied liquid roofing membranes for good.

Thirty years of pioneering innovation later, Decothane continues to lead the roofing sector with a portfolio of systems to suit all application requirements across new build and refurbishment projects. Times may have changed since 1987, but the enduring appeal of Decothane for both specifiers and contractors has been as consistent as the demanding conditions of the wet and windy British weather.

High performance, cold-applied and seamless, Decothane is robust, hard wearing and easy to apply. Decothane has been a game-changing industry-leader since it was first launched thirty years ago. Since then, Sika Liquid Plastics has continued to enhance the range as part of their commitment to answering the needs of specifiers, contractors and end users. Decothane has been developed in Sika Liquid Plastics’ R&D facility in Preston (Lancashire) and re-engineered over the years to constantly improve performance. This, along with Sika’s technical services team supporting bespoke projects from specification through to final inspection and guarantee, sets them apart as the industry leader for liquid roofing.

Amongst the innovations they have introduced over the past 30 years, Decothane Ultra has set a new benchmark. Decothane Ultra is very low odour, making it the ideal solution for sensitive sites such as hospitals, schools and food manufacturing – perfect for carrying out roof refurbishments in occupied buildings. This is just one of Sika Liquid Plastics’ industry leading innovations developed in their R&D facility.

Suitable for use on both flat and pitched roofs and for warm and green roof systems, Sika Liquid Plastics’ Decothane range provides ease of application, speed of cure and an extended service life, with many of the first Decothane installations still in great condition 30 years on.

Now that’s an anniversary worth celebrating.
