Sika Sarnafil announces partnership with R-50 Systems, LLC and the release of the Sarnathin-50 Roof System, an innovative high R-value roofing system for non-residential building applications.  The Sarnathin-50 system utilizes Sika’s proven Sarnafil® roofing membrane in conjunction with R-50 Systems’ Rich-E-Board™, a 1.5-inch thick, vacuum-sealed insulation with a protective covering on both sides and an R-value (resistance to heat flow) of 50. The slim, lightweight design decreases costs of building modifications and structural retrofits, while creating more usable space for living and/or operations. Because Rich-E-Board can be produced to various dimensions, it can be used in most building and wall applications with little wasted material.

R-50 completed the installation of a replacement roofing and insulation system at the Mitchell H. Cohen US Courthouse in Camden, NJ. This 180,000 SF government facility is the first commercial project to be completed using R-50 Systems’ patented 1″ thick vacuum insulated panel (VIP) system, which reduced construction costs by $200,000.
