How Metal Roofing Stands Up to Florida’s Hot Climate

Sunshine Metal Supply, Inc. image with the text "Built to Beat the Heat," emphasizing metal roofing durability in high temperatures.

Florida homeowners face unique roofing challenges when it comes to metal roofs: intense sunlight, constant humidity, and severe summer storms. These elements can all break down traditional materials – but metal stands up admirably! Metal roofing’s durability has made it one of the top choices for homes and buildings throughout Florida.

Florida’s climate demands more from roofing — and Sunshine Metal Supply delivers the metal that can handle it.

  1. Superior Heat Resistance

Metal roofs are specifically designed to reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles. This helps reduce heat transfer into buildings, keeping interior spaces cooler and reducing strain on HVAC systems, even during Florida’s hottest months.

  1. Engineered to Withstand Harsh UV Exposure

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause many materials to crack, warp, or degrade. Metal roofing was designed specifically to withstand direct sunlight without cracking, warping, or degrading.

  1. Resistant to Moisture and Corrosion

Florida can be both hot and humid. That humidity, coupled with coastal salt air, can pose serious challenges for unprotected roofing materials. Sunshine Metal Supply’s Armored Coast™ features ZAM-coated panels designed for superior corrosion resistance.

Armored Coast™ provides robust corrosion protection, even in salty coastal environments –making it an excellent solution for homes near the beach.

  1. Able to Withstand Hurricane-Force Winds and Heavy Rains

Staying put during extreme storms and downpours is also key in Florida. Sunshine Metal Supply offers over 25 Florida Product Approved products which meet Florida’s stringent wind and performance standards.

  1. Longevity and Lower Maintenance 

Properly installed metal roofs can last 40-70 years, far longer than asphalt shingles. Metal is also less susceptible to cracking, shrinking, and erosion — making it the superior long-term choice in Florida’s climate.

When selecting roofing material in Florida, durability is not optional – it’s essential. That is why Sunshine Metal Supply proudly provides Florida Product Approved materials that keep homes cool, safe, and beautiful.
