Each project will have its own unique reference number, which will enable all members of the project team to easily assess all the information available anytime.
The latest documentation and standards regarding structural glazing, insulated glass and all other Sika products related to facades is freely available on the platform, as well as training and application videos. It will give you the capability to request adhesion and compatibility testing and then keep track of them.
"Not only does the Sika Bonding Excellence Platform allow us to keep track of the progress of our adhesion testing, it also provides an efficient means of communication between Sika and ourselves. It is simple to use in association with the online sealant calculator tool and a great way to compile records of these results, along with training records and certification. This has proved particularly advantageous over the last year when remote working practices have prevented face to face meetings." -Director William Sharman | Cantifix- Hendon North London
