Metal Roofing Gutters & Drainage Accessories — Tampa, FL

Florida averages 50+ inches of annual rainfall, much of it delivered in intense afternoon thunderstorms during the wet season that can drop an inch of rain in 30 minutes. Metal roofs are exceptionally efficient water-shedders — far more so than porous shingles — which means the gutter and drainage system on a metal-roofed building handles higher peak flow volumes and must be sized accordingly.

For residential metal roofs in Tampa and Hillsborough County, standard 5-inch K-style gutters are typically adequate for single-family homes. For commercial and agricultural metal buildings with large roof areas, box gutters — integrated directly into the eave trim system — provide the capacity to handle substantial rainfall runoff without overflow. FL Sheet Metal's box gutter sections are fabricated in matching panel colors and install as part of the continuous eave trim profile.

Roof penetrations are the most common source of leaks on metal roofs. Every pipe, vent, or conduit that passes through a metal panel creates a potential infiltration point if not properly flashed. Our gooseneck vents are specifically designed for through-panel installation on R Panel, PBR, and 9-5 Panel — they include a built-in mounting flange and are available in three sizes to match your ventilation requirements. Vent boots for plumbing vent pipes are available in sizes #2 through #8, covering every residential and commercial plumbing vent pipe diameter used in Florida construction.
