SIG Design & Technology is part of SIG Exteriors, a leading division of SIG plc, a FTSE 250 listed company and the UK’s market leading specialist supplier to professionals in the building and construction industry.
SIG Design & Technology offer a complete and impartial design and supply service, built around our roofing products, which follows eight steps to help our clients create the Perfect Roof. Our expertise is just part of the service that we provide absolutely free to our clients. We design and supply flat roofs, green roofs and zinc, copper and stainless steels roofing and cladding.
The roof of any building is key to its performance, and not just to keep the rain out. Roofing also needs to provide suitable insulation, deal with acoustic issues, even capture carbon and generate electricity, and all within the regulations, on time and on budget, and with a long, predictable lifespan. To provide reassurance, we back our advice, products and workmanship with both PI Insurance and full system guarantees.
Don’t rely on a single manufacturer who will recommend their product for any application. Get independent support from an experienced supplier: make an informed choice.
Don’t risk uncoordinated design input from several manufacturers. Have your roof designed, specified and co-ordinated from the deck up by a single PI insured designer.
Ensure you meet all the Statutory Requirements even if they change. Use an independent, expert design service and get full, free technical support until completion.
A reliable supply chain is essential for profitability and performance. Choose a proven supplier who can cut waste and cost, supplying only what you need.
An experienced, accredited contactor knows the products and will integrate the roof system with your whole building so it performs well and looks great too.
In many projects, buildability issues will crop up on site. Ensure your supplier is on your side and will monitor the installation and provide quality field support for your contractors.
Don’t fall between suppliers who may dispute responsibility. Have the roof designed, installed and guaranteed from the deck up by a PI insured single entity you can reply upon.
A perfect roof is designed for appropriate, safe and efficient maintenance. A whole roof service, plus maintenance plan, will protect you and give your client confidence.
