Versico Roofing Systems on the Grand Strand
Versico is one of the manufacturers we spec regularly for TPO and EPDM installations on Myrtle Beach commercial buildings, with a product range that covers most standard single-ply reroof and new construction jobs we handle along the coast. Their systems come up on retail strips, hotel roofs, and multi-tenant buildings across the Grand Strand.
Versico's Core Membrane Lines
Versico's TPO product line comes in multiple thicknesses with mechanically fastened, fully adhered, and induction-welded attachment options, along with reflective white and other color choices. Their EPDM line covers both black and white formulations, giving us options for buildings converting from an older rubber roof or specifically wanting rubber's flexibility on a settled or irregular deck. Versico also manufactures matched insulation, cover board, and fastening accessories designed to work as a complete warrantable assembly.
We spec Versico alongside several other manufacturers depending on the specific building, and their product range covers the same core categories - TPO, EPDM, and the accessory components that go with each - that most of our coastal jobs call for. Their fastener and plate accessories are also available in coated finishes suited to more corrosive exposure environments, which matters as much for a Versico installation near the ocean as it does for any other manufacturer's system going onto the same roof.
Wind Uplift Ratings for High-Velocity Zones
Versico publishes tested wind uplift data and fastening schedules across their attachment methods, which we reference when specifying the perimeter and corner fastening density for buildings in our coastal high-velocity hurricane wind zone. That documentation matters on hotel and retail roofs closer to the ocean, where the fastening pattern at the roof edge is what determines whether the membrane holds together through a tropical system.
Reflective TPO for Beach-Climate Heat Load
Versico's white reflective TPO addresses the sustained solar heat load that flat roofs face along the Grand Strand for most of the year, cutting rooftop unit run time on hotels and retail centers running HVAC and refrigeration equipment continuously. UV exposure still ages the membrane surface over time regardless of reflectivity, which we check for during routine inspection visits - chalking, seam wear, granule loss on textured surfaces.
Versico on Multifamily and Office Reroofs
A share of the Versico installations we handle are on multifamily and office buildings inland of the immediate coastline, where wind exposure is still significant but not at the level of a beachfront hotel. These buildings often have simpler roof geometry and lower rooftop equipment density than hospitality properties, which makes Versico's standard TPO and EPDM attachment methods a straightforward fit without needing the most aggressive enhanced fastening details reserved for the highest wind exposure category.
We still document the specific wind zone for each property rather than assuming inland automatically means standard fastening, since some inland corridors along US-501 and the Highway 544 growth areas see wind exposure closer to coastal levels than their distance from the beach would suggest.
Warranty Coverage on Versico Systems
Versico offers manufacturer warranties with terms that vary by product line, membrane thickness, and installation type, and we review those specifics with the building owner before finalizing a proposal rather than quoting a general warranty length. On multifamily properties where the roof serves multiple ownership or management transitions over its service life, having clear documentation of what the warranty covers and how it transfers matters as much as the coverage itself, since a warranty that isn't properly documented at installation can be difficult to invoke years later when a new property manager is dealing with an unfamiliar roof and no record of what was actually installed or by whom.

Salt Air and Coastal Hardware Choices
Versico's membrane products hold up to salt-laden coastal air reasonably well on their own, but as with every manufacturer's system, the exposed fastener heads and edge metal tied into the assembly corrode faster near the water than the membrane itself ages. We spec corrosion-resistant hardware on Versico installations within a mile or two of the Atlantic the same way we do across every manufacturer's system on a coastal job.
Questions About Versico Roofing
Is Versico TPO rated for hurricane-force coastal wind?
Versico publishes tested wind uplift ratings and fastening patterns across a range of wind design categories, and we spec the pattern matched to the specific building's wind zone and height.
Does Versico offer both black and white EPDM?
Yes, their EPDM line includes both standard black and reflective white formulations, giving flexibility for buildings wanting rubber's movement tolerance with reduced heat gain.
How does Versico compare to Carlisle or GAF?
All three manufacturers offer comparable core TPO and EPDM product categories with differences in specific formulations, warranty terms, and accessory options. We spec based on the building and available terms, not a fixed brand preference.
Does Versico make corrosion-resistant fasteners for coastal jobs?
Versico's accessory line includes fastening options suited to more aggressive exposure environments, which we specify on buildings closer to the ocean.
What warranty terms does Versico offer?
Warranty terms and coverage vary by product line, thickness, and installation type, and we review the specific terms for the system being proposed on each project.
