Can Metal Roofs Rust?

Quality metal roofing systems designed for residential use are highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Modern steel metal roofs are coated with Galvalume (aluminum-zinc alloy), zinc, or other corrosion-resistant coatings, then finished with a Kynar or PVDF paint system that provides excellent protection against Florida's salt air, humidity, and UV radiation. Aluminum metal roofs naturally resist corrosion without any coating. Properly manufactured and installed metal roofs in Palm Beach County will not rust for decades when properly maintained.

Why Rust Is Not a Concern for Modern Metal Roofs in Florida

• Galvalume steel coating provides excellent corrosion resistance for coastal environments

• Aluminum roofing does not rust at all — preferred in coastal Palm Beach County locations

• Kynar/PVDF paint finishes protect against UV and salt air for 30+ years

• Concealed fasteners in standing seam prevent water from contacting fastener points
