Unified Steel is High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ)-approved, designed to withstand Category 5 Hurricane winds when properly installed, ensuring robust protection for Florida homes during hurricanes and tropical storms. Unlike asphalt shingles, which typically resist only 60–130 mph winds and often tear or crack, or standing seam metal roofs, which can dent under storm debris, Unified Steel’s Class 4 Impact rating and interlocking design provide superior resilience against Florida’s severe weather.
