Environmental Roofing Components (ERC) is a specialized roofing manufacturer focused exclusively on negative-pressure wind vent technology for low-slope roofs. Our patented ERC Wind Vented System is engineered to work with the forces of nature instead of against them, reversing uplift as wind speed increases and delivering exceptional long-term performance in demanding climates and exposures.

Rather than relying solely on fasteners and adhesives to fight uplift, ERC uses strategically placed vents to harness the natural pressure differences created by wind. This creates a powerful, consistent negative pressure across the roof membrane, locking the system down tighter as the wind intensifies. The result is a lighter, smarter attachment approach that has proven itself on millions of square feet of roofing, including in hurricane-prone and coastal regions.

ERC’s wind vent technology doesn’t just protect against the next storm—it also helps extend the life of the roof. The ERC Wind Vented System actively promotes the movement of air within the assembly, helping remove trapped moisture from wet insulation and deck surfaces over time. This unique ability allows qualified roofs to be recovered instead of completely torn off, even where wet insulation is present, offering owners a path to code-compliant solutions that minimize disruption, reduce landfill waste, and unlock significant cost savings.

From design through installation and beyond, ERC is deeply involved in the success of every project. We support architects, consultants, and contractors with detailed wind calculations, project-specific design assistance, and on-site training to ensure the system is installed correctly and performs as intended. Our technical team includes professionals who have been working with wind vent systems since their inception, bringing decades of real-world experience to every roof.

ERC’s systems are backed by robust testing, engineering, and warranty support. We collaborate closely with building owners and their design teams to evaluate existing assemblies, identify opportunities for roof recover, and provide documentation that helps streamline approvals with code officials and insurers. Our approach is rooted in real-world performance data and a commitment to long-term reliability.

ERC serves building owners, facility managers, contractors, and design professionals who are looking for a high-performance, sustainable alternative to conventional mechanically attached or fully adhered systems. Whether you’re facing high-wind requirements, dealing with existing moisture in a roof assembly, or trying to avoid a costly, disruptive tear-off, ERC provides proven, engineered solutions that go beyond the finish of the job.
