Are Metal Roofs Hurricane Resistant?

Yes — metal roofs are among the most hurricane-resistant roofing options available for Palm Beach County properties. Standing seam metal roofing systems are specifically engineered to resist high-wind uplift and are tested and approved under the Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) standards. When properly installed by a licensed contractor like Ranger Roofing, metal roofs can withstand sustained winds of 120–160+ mph.

How Metal Roofing Withstands Florida Hurricanes

• Standing seam concealed fastener systems eliminate exposed fasteners that can loosen in high winds

• Metal panels interlock along their full length, creating a continuous weather barrier

• Metal roofing systems are tested for uplift resistance per ASTM E1592 and TAS 125 standards required in Florida

• Thicker gauge metal resists impact from wind-blown debris better than thinner profiles
