Clay Tiles Are Recyclable, Resistant to Fire, and Come in a Variety of Colors
There are many different roofing styles that complement homes in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Orange-brown clay tiles
on a home with stucco siding is virtually the default image of coastal living in Florida. Gold Star Roofing & Construction
carries clay or ceramic tiles in a variety of colors and are easily recycled and resistant to fire. Clay tiles work for coastal living because they will not deteriorate from salt spray and can hold up well to winds at 100+ mph. Clay tiles usually last up to 50 to 100 years. If you like the look of clay tile but are concerned about the heavy weight of tiles and the high cost, you can opt for stone coated metal tiles as an alternative.
Adequate Roof Protection is a Must for Florida Coastal Living
In the continental U.S., Florida tops the list of states with the longest coastline, at 1,350 miles. This allows for beautiful Florida coastal living in areas like Miami-Dade and Broward county. However, during hurricane season, or even during heavy storms or high winds, the ferocity can be hazardous to your home, including your roof.
For this reason, Florida has instated building codes, particularly to High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZs), namely Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The laws governing construction of roofs are thorough and highly specific, to ensure standard materials are used and implemented to withstand the intense pressure found in an HVHZ.
