Warranty & lead time
Engineered to move
The clip is why it survives the storm.
A concealed clip holds the panel to the deck but lets the metal expand and contract through Florida heat without oil-canning or pulling fasteners. Nothing penetrates the face of the panel.
That's the difference between a roof that's screwed down and a roof that's engineered to move.
- Concealed clip
- No face penetrations
A seam, not a snap
A mechanical seam, not a snap.
We mechanically seam the rib closed — single or double lock — so wind-driven rain has no path in.
It's the construction that lets the Guardian hit 325+ MPH in third-party testing and exceed Miami-Dade, the strictest code in the country.
- Mechanically seamed
- 325+ MPH tested
The in-house moat
Rolled here, so it's never late and wrong.
We fabricate the Guardian in-house in Clermont. The run is ours. If a panel comes up short, the corrected piece is a priority slot — not a three-week re-order from a distant mill.
In-house fabrication is your remake insurance on the job you can least afford to redo.

FAQ
Guardian SL150 questions
What makes the Guardian SL150 a 325 MPH panel?
The Guardian SL150 is clip-fastened and mechanically seamed. Concealed clips let the metal move with Florida heat without face penetrations, and the rib is mechanically seamed shut so wind-driven rain has no path in. That construction is what carries the panel through 325+ MPH third-party testing and lets it exceed Miami-Dade code.
Is the SL150 approved for the HVHZ and Miami-Dade?
Yes. The Guardian SL150 is HVHZ-approved and exceeds Miami-Dade, the strictest building code in the country. Florida Product Approval and NOA numbers are published on this page and in Resources so your AHJ has them before inspection. [TODO-CLIENT: FPA/NOA number]
What warranty comes with the Guardian SL150?
The Guardian SL150 carries a 10-year leak-proof warranty that's extendable to a 50-year transferable system warranty. Coverage specifics depend on the finish and installation; we'll confirm the exact terms with your quote.
What metals and finishes can the SL150 be fabricated in?
We roll the Guardian SL150 in .032 aluminum, Galvalume and AZ50 coated 26ga steel, with Kynar/PVDF, SMP and Galvalume finishes. Aluminum with a Kynar/PVDF finish is the typical coastal-Florida and architectural choice for fade and corrosion resistance.
