RETURN TO Is A Metal Roof Right For My House
RETURN TO FORUM
The key in Florida is to choosing a roofing system that has FL product listing for that pitch. In metal, that will be a mechanically seamed standing seam but you must ensure the product has FL approval.
Hello
I have a 1:12 roof pitch.
What is the Florida code for metal roofing of that pitch?
Since posting this question I came about the Florida code.
I have not found IMAGES of what these two roof profiles actually look like - especially the latter.
Can you post a link?
The CODE:
The minimum slope for lapped, nonsoldered seam metal roofs with applied lap sealant shall be one-half unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (4-percent slope). Lap sealants shall be applied in accordance with the approved manufacturer's installation instructions.
The minimum slope for standing seam of roof systems shall be one-quarter unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (2-percent slope).
