Hurricane Performance in Florida

How 5V Crimp Metal Roofing stands up to Florida's toughest storms

Metal construction resists wind, hail, and flying debris
Continuous panels span roof without seams that can catch wind

Important Considerations

Exposed fasteners are potential water entry points if not properly sealed
Fasteners require periodic inspection and tightening
Gaskets on screws can deteriorate over time and need replacement

Maintenance Tips

Keep your 5V Crimp Metal Roofing roof performing at its best

1

Fastener Inspection

Check exposed screws annually for loosening, rust, or deteriorated gaskets.

2

Sealant Check

Inspect any sealant at panel overlaps and around penetrations.

3

Clear Debris

Remove leaves and debris that can hold moisture against panels.

4

Touch Up Scratches

Address scratches promptly to prevent rust on galvanized steel panels.

5
