Standing Seam & 5V Metal Roofing
SUNLOC-EZ standing seam & 5V Crimp panels from Sunshine Metal Supply — your metal, profile, and PVDF finish.
For metal roofing we install panels from Sunshine Metal Supply, a Florida metal-panel manufacturer whose products are Florida Product Approved for our climate. Our two go-to panels are the SUNLOC-EZ hidden-fastener standing seam — the premium, clean-lined metal roof with no exposed screws — and the classic 5V Crimp, the traditional exposed-fastener panel that’s a Florida staple. Both come in 24- or 26-gauge steel or aluminum with premium PVDF (Kynar 500) finishes, and on coastal homes we can upgrade to corrosion-resistant substrates built for salt air.
We specify the panel, gauge, substrate, and finish to match your roof slope, your distance from the Gulf, and the look you want — then install it to the Florida Building Code and the assembly’s tested wind ratings. Here’s a closer look at the panels, the colors, and the choices that shape a metal roof. When you’re ready, we’ll bring real metal samples and finish chips to your free inspection.
The metal panels we install
Our two primary metal roof panels from Sunshine Metal Supply — both Florida Product Approved and finished in PVDF / Kynar 500.
SUNLOC-EZ
Hidden-fastener standing seamSUNLOC-EZ is a hidden-fastener standing seam panel that snaps over a 1-inch nail strip for a clean, modern roofline with no exposed screws. It runs in 24- or 26-gauge steel or 0.032-inch aluminum, on standard Galvalume or on ZAM-coated “Armored Coast” steel for saltwater settings, and it is Florida Product Approved over plywood for all three metals.
- Concealed-fastener design — clean look, no exposed screws
- Armored Coast (ZAM) substrate upgrade for coastal & saltwater homes
- PVDF / Kynar 500 finish with a 40-year limited paint warranty
- Galvalume substrate warranty up to 50 years (prepainted)
- Florida Product Approved over plywood in steel and aluminum
5V Crimp
Exposed-fastener panelThe 5V Crimp is the classic exposed-fastener metal roof — a traditional Florida look that is economical, durable, and hurricane-ready when installed correctly. It comes in 24- or 26-gauge steel or 0.032-inch aluminum in a 24-inch width, with PVDF / Kynar 500 finishes and Florida Product Approval for coastal-area homes.
- Traditional 5V profile — a timeless Florida roof look
- Economical exposed-fastener system, built to last
- Steel or naturally corrosion-resistant aluminum
- PVDF / Kynar 500 (Durapon 70) finish with a 40-year limited paint warranty
- Florida Product Approved over plywood for steel and aluminum
Sunshine Metal color options
These are the PVDF / Kynar 500 colors Sunshine Metal Supply offers across its Galvalume, aluminum, and coastal ZAM lines. The swatches below are digital approximations of the official color card — availability varies by panel, gauge, and substrate, and a metal finish always looks different in person, so confirm with the official color card and real samples.
Swatches are digital approximations sampled from Sunshine Metal Supply’s official PVDF color card (rev. 2026.2.20). Actual finishes vary, and some colors are specific to certain finishes or the coastal ZAM (“Armored Coast”) substrate — see the current color card linked above, and we’ll bring physical chips to your free inspection.
What goes into your metal roof
Beyond the panel itself, a few choices shape your metal roof — we’ll walk you through each one for your home.
24 or 26-Gauge Steel (Galvalume)
MetalGalvalume-coated steel is stiffer and the most economical option — a great fit for most inland Florida homes.
Aluminum Panels
Metal — coastalNaturally corrosion-resistant, so we often specify aluminum within a few miles of saltwater; lighter than steel and a bit more per square foot.
ZAM “Armored Coast” Steel
Substrate — coastalSunshine’s coastal substrate — a zinc-aluminum-magnesium coated steel that resists salt-air corrosion far better than standard Galvalume.
PVDF / Kynar 500 Finish
FinishA 70% PVDF fluoropolymer factory coating with the best long-term color and gloss retention under Florida sun, backed by a 40-year limited paint warranty.
Good to know about metal roofing in Florida
A metal roof is only as good as its installation — the seam locks, fasteners, and flashings have to be done right or a panel can oil-can or leak. Every assembly’s real wind rating comes from its Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA, so we specify and install to the tested system. Near the Gulf, we lean toward aluminum or Sunshine’s coastal ZAM substrate to fight salt corrosion, and reflective “cool” finishes can help with attic heat.

Standing Seam Metal FAQ
Hidden-fastener (SUNLOC-EZ) or exposed-fastener (5V Crimp) — which is right for me?
SUNLOC-EZ is our premium standing seam: the fasteners hide under the seam for a clean, modern look and excellent weather resistance. The 5V Crimp is the classic, more economical exposed-fastener panel with a traditional Florida look. We recommend based on your home’s style, roof slope, and budget — both are Florida Product Approved and finished in PVDF / Kynar 500.
What finish do these panels use?
Both use a PVDF / Kynar 500 factory finish (Sunshine’s Durapon 70 on the 5V) — a 70% fluoropolymer coating with the best long-term color and gloss retention under Florida sun, backed by a 40-year limited paint warranty. It costs a bit more than budget paints but holds its color far longer, which is worth it on a roof you’ll keep for decades.
Steel or aluminum near the coast?
Within a few miles of saltwater, aluminum or Sunshine’s ZAM “Armored Coast” steel is the safer pick — both resist salt-air corrosion far better than standard Galvalume steel. Inland, 24- or 26-gauge Galvalume steel is stiffer and more economical. We match the metal and substrate to your distance from the Gulf.
