What Makes a Shingle 'Best' for Florida?

• Florida Product Approval — All shingles used in Florida must have a Florida Product Approval (FPA) number verifying they meet the state's wind resistance requirements for the applicable wind zone.

• High wind resistance rating — Look for shingles rated for 130 mph or higher wind speeds. In some parts of Palm Beach County near the coast, higher ratings may be required.

• Algae resistance — Shingles with copper-infused granules (StainGuard or similar) resist the algae growth that causes black staining common on Florida roofs.

• Class 4 impact resistance — The highest classification for impact resistance, eligible for insurance discounts in Florida.

• UV stabilizers — Shingles with UV-resistant granules and additives perform better under Florida's intense year-round sun exposure.
