Building Code & Wind Zone

Design Wind Speed: 135 mph

Moderate-High wind zone — Volusia County, Florida

Per the Florida Building Code (FBC 7th Edition), all roofing materials installed here must be rated for 135 mph wind speeds. This affects material selection, fastener patterns, and installation methods.

Coastal requirements: Properties within the wind-borne debris region require impact-resistant roofing or additional protection. Salt air exposure also affects material longevity — metal roofing with marine-grade coatings or concrete tile are recommended.

At 135 mph design wind speed, we recommend enhanced fastening (6-nail pattern for shingles), peel-and-stick underlayment, and impact-resistant materials for maximum protection.
