The popularity of metal roofs in South Florida has grown steadily over the past decade due to the need for a solution for homeowners who need to replace their roof with a durable solution that offers wind resistance and is energy efficient.

Classic metal roofing systems provided an alternative but were wrought with issues that made them a less than ideal choice. Specifically, thin gauge metal roofing panels were attached to the deck with exposed fasteners. Typically, these panels were aluminum or steel and electrostatically painted.

The problem with the exposed fasteners is the heavy rains and hot temperatures would cause the fasteners to corrode and loosen, allowing water to penetrate to the deck underneath. In addition, rust would drip from the fastener causing ugly streaks of orange while the inferior paint coating would fade easily.
