What is a Florida product approval?
Every roofing product that goes on a home in Florida must first go through engineering and testing to validate that it will hold up under certain wind and significant weather event conditions. As you apply for permitting and your roofing project is underway it is highly likely that the building official who will be inspecting your project will need to see the appropriate Florida product approval information to coincide with the type of roof roofing that you are installing. And, according to that Florida product approval, which installation method should be used based on several factors. These factors can include things such as the type of decking that you are installing the panel on, the type of environment the home is in, and will certainly the potential wind speed that roofing material will experience during severe weather.
