Product overview
At a glance
Interlock offers shake-profile panels in solid copper. Copper changes appearance as it weathers. Its patina develops at a rate influenced by exposure and local conditions; a fixed color or uniform weathering schedule should not be assumed. Ask your Interlock representative to confirm the available profile, copper specification, roof slope, fastening, flashing and underlayment details for your project. Fire, wind and impact classifications must be supported by documentation for the specified roof system.
Overview
What is Interlock copper shake roofing?
A textured shake profile formed in solid copper, suited to homeowners looking for a more dimensional roof appearance.
Solid copper is the roofing material itself. It differs from an aluminum roof finished in a copper-colored coating. Confirm the material on your quote and request a physical sample before choosing.
Plan the complete roof system
Ask your Interlock representative to confirm the available profile, copper specification, roof slope, fastening, flashing and underlayment details for your project. Fire, wind and impact classifications must be supported by documentation for the specified roof system. Review the current written warranty for coverage, exclusions, registration and transfer requirements. A material warranty is not a promise that every roof component will last indefinitely.

What Homeowners Say About Interlock Metal Roofing
★★★★★This is the 3rd roof I have had put on by Interlock Roofing. I put one on my original house, my cottage, and now my new house. They have always done an excellent job, and the aluminum shingles are a great product — light, sturdy, and good-looking, even years down the road.
FAQ
Copper Shake Roofing: common questions
Answers to help you prepare for a project consultation.
Is solid copper the same as a copper-colored aluminum roof?
No. Solid copper is the panel material. A copper-colored aluminum roof uses a finish applied to aluminum. Ask for a material sample and confirm the base metal in your quote.
Will a copper roof change color?
Copper changes appearance as it weathers. Its patina develops at a rate influenced by exposure and local conditions; a fixed color or uniform weathering schedule should not be assumed.
How much does a copper roof cost?
Pricing depends on the roof area, profile, material specification, detailing, access and installation scope. Request a measured, written quote for your property.
Does choosing copper automatically establish a Class A roof rating?
A material description alone does not establish the classification of your proposed roof. Ask for the applicable test or evaluation report and the installation details required for that system.
What should I review before ordering?
Ask your Interlock representative to confirm the available profile, copper specification, roof slope, fastening, flashing and underlayment details for your project. Fire, wind and impact classifications must be supported by documentation for the specified roof system. Review the current written warranty for coverage, exclusions, registration and transfer requirements. A material warranty is not a promise that every roof component will last indefinitely.
