Thomas Swope - Max R-Value, Minimal Space: VIPS in Commercial Roofing

In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, host Karen Edwards is joined by Tom Swope from Versico to explore the growing role of Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIPs) in low-slope commercial roofing. Designed for projects where space is limited but performance can’t be compromised, VIPs offer exceptionally high R-values in an ultra-thin profile. Tom breaks down how these panels are integrated into layered roofing systems and where they deliver the most value, from tight parapet conditions to complex retrofit projects and what contractors need to know to use them effectively. Tune in to learn how VIPs are expanding what’s possible in modern commercial roofing design.
