What roofing material is right for high winds?
Roofing Options for homes in high wind areas
When it comes to picking roofing material for homes located in coastal areas like Lewes, Bethany Beach, Dewey Beach, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City, Maryland, make sure to ask a pro for advice. Some roofing materials like 3 tap asphalt shingles might be a good choice in areas further inland like Dover, Laural, Seaford and Salisbery, Maryland, but would not function well for bayside and coastal homes.
Here are some roofing materials that would work great for a house with a bay view.
Cedar Shingles:
When cedar roofs have been attached with ring shank stainless steel nails, they have a high resistance to blowing off.
Asphalt Shingles:
GAF Timberline UHDZ shingles with Wind Proven Limited Wind Warranty have no maximum wind speed limitation.
Metal Roofing:
Aluminum standing seam metal roofing is one of the best options for homes located on the beach because of its low-drag sleek design.
