A Roofing Feat of Grand Proportions
The Velco Group, a luxury home roofing company with over six decades of unwavering expertise, recently undertook a monumental mission – installing a new slate roof on an expansive French Chateau estate. This endeavor demanded not only exceptional service but resilient and enduring underlayment materials to safeguard the home’s integrity throughout the arduous 50+ day installation process.
The Solution: Polystick MTS Plus Self-Adhered Underlayment
To meet these exacting requirements, The Velco Group turned to Polyglass USA’s Polystick MTS Plus. Here’s why this product stood out:
- Cutting-Edge Technology: Polystick MTS Plus boasts ADESO® dual-compound self-adhered technology. Its upper layer consists of polymer-modified bitumen, while the bottom layer features a proprietary self-adhesive SBS (elastomeric) compound. This ingenious fusion ensures unparalleled performance.
- Thermal Tenacity: With an impressive temperature resistance of up to 265°F, Polystick MTS Plus thrives even in scorching conditions. It’s tailor-made for high-temperature roof covering systems, including steel, aluminum, or copper panels.
- Extended Exposure Window: The product’s cavitated anti-skid top film surface allows for up to 180 days of exposure. Throughout the installation, this extended window provided peace of mind to both the contractor and the homeowner.
Award-Winning Results: A Testament to Excellence
The Velco Group’s commitment to excellence garnered the prestigious 2023 Golden Hammer Award for Outstanding Residential Tile Project from the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA).

Challenges Beyond the Ordinary: Where Precision Meets Artistry
The complexity of this project was magnified by several factors:
- Scaffolding Mastery: To ensure safety and precision, scaffolding had to be meticulously installed around the entire 18,100-square-foot home. The Velco Group’s team executed this task flawlessly, creating a stable platform for their work.
- Watertight Excellence: The project required a watertight barrier as new slate roofing was meticulously installed over the course of more than 50 days. The underlayment had to withstand intense rain, scorching sun and everything in between.
- Architectural Ingenuity: The roof installation navigated around a series of custom hand-detailed copper dormers, louvers, a hand-cut slate turret and 108 different facets! Each architectural feature demanded precision, finesse and artistry — a testament to The Velco Group’s craftsmanship.
