Concrete Tile Roofing for High-Wind Regions: Florida Building Code Requirements and Installation Practices
About the Provider
Founded over 25 years ago, Eagle began operations in the fall of 1989 with one high-pressure concrete tile extrusion machine. Today, Eagle's Rialto, California facility is the largest in North America. Eagle has grown to eight design centers and a workforce of over 500 employees that are knowledgable on not only concrete roof tile but regional trends and needs. Our expertise, coupled by our extensive array of profiles and colors, enables us to provide our customers with high quality concrete roofing products that are aesthetically beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the components of a concrete roof tile roofing system and explain how properly designed assemblies contribute to the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants.
- Identify relevant provisions of the Florida Building Code that govern the design and installation of concrete roof tile systems in hurricane-prone regions.
- Explain how wind loads, uplift pressures, and building exposure conditions influence the design of steep-slope roofing systems.
- Recognize installation practices outlined in the FRSA–TRI Florida High Wind Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual and how they support code-compliant roof assemblies.
- Evaluate the role of underlayments, flashings, battens, and fastening systems in preventing water intrusion and maintaining long-term building envelope performance.
- Discuss the additional requirements associated with Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), including Miami-Dade-specific standards.
- Compare concrete roof tile performance to other roofing materials in terms of wind resistance, fire performance, durability, and life-cycle considerations.
- Apply code-informed design and installation strategies when specifying roofing systems to improve resilience and protect occupant safety in high-wind environments.
