What Viking Roofspec does

Viking Roofspec is New Zealand's largest exterior waterproofing supply company, providing certified membrane systems, insulation, asphalt shingles, tiles, and tanking products for roofs, decks, and below-ground structures. Founded in 1967 and operating under a 100-year heritage associated with the Skellerup Brand, the company is a subsidiary of Viking Group Limited within the privately held Tiri Group (10 New Zealand businesses, 600 staff, NZ$300M+ group turnover). Viking Roofspec employs 51-100 staff across headquarters in Auckland and sales/distribution centres in Wellington and Christchurch, with operations extending into the Pacific Islands.

The company's core technology portfolio spans thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes (Enviroclad, manufactured under partnership with Carlisle Construction Materials), modified bitumen torch-on systems, EPDM rubber membranes (Epiclad, Butylclad), rigid polyisocyanurate insulation from Kingspan, and proprietary two-part polyurethane F.A.S.T. adhesive technology. Engineered systems include WarmRoof, WarmSpan (with Classic, Acoustic, Light Traffic and Heavy Traffic variants), and the 2023-launched WarmSpan², the latter purpose-built to satisfy New Zealand's H1 6th edition energy efficiency code. EcoStar recycled-content tiles and Buzon screwjack pedestals round out a portfolio that is supported by BRANZ Appraisals and CodeMark certifications across most product lines.

Viking Roofspec operates a pure channel-partner go-to-market: products are sold exclusively to and installed by Approved Applicators — independent contracting companies whose installers have completed the company's three-stage Viking Licensing Programme (established 2007). Revenue is generated primarily from one-time materials supply to this licensed installer base, supplemented by a $750 application-fee Full System Warranty that bundles materials and workmanship coverage for 20 years with scheduled inspections. Specifier relationships are managed through NZIA-accredited technical experts rather than conventional sales staff, and the company supports architects and applicators with technical resources, CPD training, and a YouTube installation video library.
