Versico's Single-Ply Line Across EPDM, TPO, and PVC

Versico manufactures across all three major single-ply membrane categories, giving us a broad set of options from one manufacturer when a project's building type, budget, or existing roof condition doesn't obviously point toward a single membrane family from the start. That range is useful on Erie's mixed commercial building stock, warehouses, retail strips, and manufacturing buildings that don't all fit the same roofing profile.

A Full Single-Ply Product Range

Versico's catalog spans EPDM in black and white, TPO in multiple thickness options, and PVC for chemical and grease-resistance applications, along with fleece-backed versions of several products for adhesive-set recover work over existing roofing. Having that range from one manufacturer simplifies comparison shopping on a project where the right membrane family isn't yet decided, since technical data sheets and warranty structures follow a consistent format across the different product lines.

We use that breadth most on buildings where the existing roof condition, rather than a strong owner preference, is the deciding factor, a recover project where fleece-backed TPO might make more sense than tear-off and full EPDM replacement, for instance.

Having one manufacturer's documentation to reference across those comparisons also speeds up the evaluation itself, since warranty language, installation requirements, and wind-uplift testing methodology stay consistent from one product line to the next within the same catalog.

Fastening and Accessory Systems

Versico also produces its own fastening plates, insulation, adhesives, and flashing accessories engineered to work as a coordinated system with its membrane products. On buildings with an exposed wind profile near Lake Erie's open shoreline, matching fastener spacing and pull-out ratings to documented, tested assemblies rather than mixing components from different manufacturers gives a more predictable and verifiable uplift rating.

That coordinated system also simplifies flashing details at curbs, parapets, and penetrations, since accessory products are designed and tested specifically to bond with the company's own membrane formulations.

Reflective Membrane Options for Cooling Load

White TPO and white EPDM are both available in Versico's line, giving reflectivity options across two different membrane chemistries depending on which fits a building's existing roof condition and traffic profile better. For retail and office buildings running significant rooftop cooling load through Erie's summer months, we compare reflectivity, warranty terms, and installation method across Versico's white membrane options the same way we would against any other manufacturer offering similar products.

• EPDM membrane in standard black and reflective white formulations
• TPO membrane across multiple thickness and reinforcement options
• PVC membrane for chemical and grease-exposure applications
• Fleece-backed versions of several products for adhesive-set recover work
• Mechanical fastening plates and adhesive systems matched to specific decks
• Insulation and cover board products designed to pair with the membrane line

That range gives flexibility on a building portfolio with mixed roof types and ages, rather than forcing every project into one membrane family regardless of fit.

Recover-Focused Product Development

A meaningful share of Versico's fleece-backed product line is specifically engineered for recover applications, adhesive-set membrane designed to bond over an existing roof surface rather than requiring full tear-off. On an occupied manufacturing or retail building where a full tear-off would disrupt operations below the deck for longer than an owner can accommodate, that recover-focused engineering is a practical advantage worth factoring into the membrane comparison.

We confirm the existing roof's suitability for recover, dry insulation, sound deck, intact structure, before specifying any fleece-backed product, since recover only works when the roof underneath genuinely qualifies for it rather than needing full replacement regardless of membrane choice.

Where core cuts turn up wet insulation in scattered areas rather than throughout the roof, a partial tear-off combined with recover over the sound sections is sometimes the more cost-effective path, and we lay out that hybrid option when the roof's condition supports it.

Comparing Versico Against Other Manufacturers

Versico's broad product range across all three membrane families means it comes up in comparisons more often than manufacturers with a narrower specialty, but breadth alone isn't the deciding factor on any given project. We compare specific products, thickness, reinforcement, warranty terms, wind-uplift ratings, against the building's actual conditions, the same evaluation we'd apply to any manufacturer under consideration.

Where a recover project's timeline or occupancy constraints favor fleece-backed adhesive-set membrane specifically, Versico's depth in that category weighs more heavily in the comparison than it would on a straightforward new-construction tear-off.

Questions About Versico Products

Does Versico specialize in one membrane type?

No, the product line covers EPDM, TPO, and PVC at comparable depth, which is part of why it's useful for comparison across membrane families on a given project.

What makes fleece-backed membrane different from standard sheet?

Fleece-backed products have a fabric layer on the underside designed for adhesive-set installation, commonly used when recovering an existing roof rather than tearing it off.

Do Versico's fasteners work with membrane from other manufacturers?

Compatibility and warranty coverage vary by product, so we verify fastener and membrane pairing against the specific manufacturer's current documentation before finalizing a specification.

Is Versico's white TPO comparable to other manufacturers' reflective membrane?

Reflectivity performance is generally comparable across major manufacturers' white TPO products, though specific reinforcement and warranty terms still vary and are worth comparing directly.

When does Versico's recover-focused product line make the most sense?

It's most relevant on an occupied building where full tear-off would be disruptive and the existing roof, confirmed dry and structurally sound, qualifies for an adhesive-set recover instead.
