Installed by critical infrastructure-trained contractors

In a facility where there is zero room for error, installation quality is as vital as the assembly itself. To qualify for our Mission Critical Structure NDL Roof Guarantee, systems must be installed by Siplast Contractors who have completed a specialized Critical Infrastructure Data Center Training. These contractors have undergone specialized training to meet the hyper-specific structural and operational demands of data center environments.

Mission critical structures FAQs

Parsolo® PVC offers excellent long-term weathering and UV resistance in accelerated weathering testing, with a tested value over 19 times higher than required by ASTM D4434 for the G154 Standard.† To evaluate the membrane’s durability against real-world environmental exposure, the effects of UV, sunlight, heat, and moisture are simulated in an accelerated weathering test using fluorescent ultraviolet light (ASTM G154) or a xenon arc lamp (ASTM G155). Parasolo® PVC has been tested at irradiance levels that are double the ASTM D4434 requirement, and passed without cracking or crazing.

† ASTM G154 Standard for accelerated weathering minimum test value is 12,240 kJ/m2. Siplast Parasolo® PVC tested at 239,000 kJ/m2. Values stated are approximate and subject to normal manufacturing variation. These values are not guaranteed and are provided solely as a guide.

Roofing impacts data center energy efficiency primarily through solar reflectance and thermal insulation, which determines the amount of external heat entering the facility. Siplast Parasolo® membranes offer industry-leading 3-year aged Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values and solar reflectance. By absorbing less solar energy, a highly reflective roof acts as a thermal guard that can help lower the amount of energy needed to keep the building interior cool and potentially reduce cooling costs.‡ This is an essential advantage for data centers, which operate continuously and require stable temperature control.

‡ Energy cost savings are not guaranteed and the amount of savings may vary based on climate zone, utility rates, radiative properties of roofing products, insulation levels, HVAC equipment efficiency and other factors.

The specific building envelope requirements for data centers include thermal stability, moisture control, and airtightness which are essential for protecting critical infrastructure facilities. Siplast WALLcontrol™ products provide high-performance solutions for vertical walls, creating a continuous air and water barrier (AWB) and enabling complex transitions from roofing and waterproofing systems. Our portfolio includes AWBs, wall flashings, and wall insulation with proven performance, exceptional temperature stability, Class A fire ratings§, and primerless application offerings to help save on time and labor.

§ ASTM E84 Class A-rated fire-resistance properties.

Siplast Parasolo® PVC KEE and PVC systems are designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of challenging environments by providing exceptional protection against weather elements, Class A fire performance**, and outstanding thermal reflectivity. For mission critical infrastructures requiring multi-ply redundancy, Siplast premium SBS-modified bitumen systems set the standard for roofing resilience, with exceptional elongation and recovery properties, delivering a longer service life with lower lifecycle costs.

** In Class A E108 testing, specific Parasolo® PVC KEE roofing assemblies have demonstrated the capability to extinguish even when the flame source remains applied to the assembly.
