The building-construction industry is constantly searching for new roofing products and system designs that can withstand the extreme weather conditions associated with hurricane-force winds.
Because of the extreme weather conditions in south Florida, stringent code compliance is required in certain areas of Miami-Dade County. Besides improving safety standards resulting from complying with codes, the development of wind-resistant products improves industry products in general because architects have more options when designing roofing systems that economically meet high levels of quality and performance.
