Best Roofing Materials for Heat and Humidity: A Guide for Florida Business Owners

Specialty roofing must meet the challenge of Florida’s hot, humid, and storm-prone environment—and not all materials are up to the task.

Here are top materials roofing experts recommend for the Gulf Coast climate:

• TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): Reflective, waterproof, and mold-resistant.

• Metal Roofing: Durable against hurricanes and reflects solar heat well.

• Modified Bitumen: Great for flat roofs with heavy rain exposure.

• Spray Foam Roofing: Adds insulation and creates a sealed surface.

• Clay or Concrete Tile: Naturally resistant to humidity and UV degradation.

Choose materials that balance thermal performance, wind resistance, and water tightness—essential for energy efficiency in a coastal climate.
