There are many reasons metal roofing works for Florida coastal living: It is the most durable roofing product to withstand Florida’s hurricanes, storms, and high-speed winds; and there are many options for color, textures and shapes. The most popular type of metal roofing is the standing seam, but metal tile and shingles are suitable options as well.

The Many Benefits of Metal Roofing

Standing seam, Galvalume steel panels at 24- or 26-gauge, offer great resistance to sea spray corrosion. Aluminum and Zinc are also great corrosion-resistant options. Metal does not burn, insects won’t feast on it, and an aluminum-based roofing or coating (e.g. Galvalume) will resist the corrosion that salt can throw at a home.
Typically, metal roofing can withstand winds between 110 mph and 160 mph. With standing seam panels, there is no crevice along the exposed roof for leaks to develop. Metal roofs usually last for over 50 years, the material is 100% recyclable, and the cool roof technology enhances its energy efficiency.

Adequate Roof Protection is a Must for Florida Coastal Living

In the continental U.S., Florida tops the list of states with the longest coastline, at 1,350 miles. This allows for beautiful Florida coastal living in areas like Miami-Dade and Broward county. However, during hurricane season, or even during heavy storms or high winds, the ferocity can be hazardous to your home, including your roof.
For this reason, Florida has instated building codes, particularly to High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZs), namely Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The laws governing construction of roofs are thorough and highly specific, to ensure standard materials are used and implemented to withstand the intense pressure found in an HVHZ.
