Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Edmonton, Alberta
| Spec / Rating | Climate / Risk Factor + What It Solves |
|---|---|
| Wind resistance: 120+ mph (193+ kph) | Extreme wind, hurricanes, storm uplift: full interlocking attachment helps prevent blow-offs, edge lifting, and panel loss in high-gust events. |
| Fire rating: Class A (with proper assembly) | Wildfire, embers, radiant heat, chimney sparks: non-combustible roof assembly provides the highest residential fire protection rating. |
| Hail resistance: UL 2218 Class 4 | Hail and impact debris: highest impact classification; resists cracking, splitting, and surface loss common with asphalt under hail strikes. |
| Snow & ice performance: interlocking, shedding profile | Heavy snow, freeze-thaw, ice dams: smooth aluminum sheds snow efficiently and the interlocking design helps block water intrusion when melt-refreeze cycles occur. (Final snow-load capacity depends on roof structure and local code.) |
| Corrosion resistance: aluminum (won’t rust) | Salt air, coastal humidity, wet climates: aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, reducing long-term failure risk in marine or high-moisture environments. |
| Heat / UV durability: baked-on coating system | High heat, intense sun, thermal cycling: coatings resist UV breakdown and temperature-swing fatigue, slowing fading and surface degradation. |
| Moss / algae resistance: smooth coated surface | Wet shade, organic growth: low-porosity metal surface gives moss/algae less to grip, reducing staining and maintenance. |
| Material: heavy-gauge aluminum roof profiles (Slate / Shake / Shingle / Tile / Standing Seam) | All-season structural stability: lightweight, dent-resistant metal system stays stable through large hot-cold swings and severe weather. |
| Expected lifespan: 50+ years | Long-term durability across climates: avoids re-roof cycles typical of shorter-life materials, even in high-stress environments. |
| Warranty: Lifetime-Limited, non-prorated + 50-year transferable | Lifetime protection + resale value: guarantees long-term material confidence and transfers to future owners. |

What our customers are saying:
To Whom It May Concern: We wanted a new roof put on our home before the winter season really sets in. We did a lot of research and it took time but wanted a good roof that would last a long time on our home. We saw an advertisement for Interlock Lifetime Roofing Systems and gave them a call. After contacting a very professional representative on the phone from Interlock Roofing and explained our roofing wants they sent out their sales representatives to our home. We were very impressed with the sales staff and they explained to us their roofing product in detail and their Lifetime Limited " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Warranty, and that was impressive. Along with an up to date computer tablet showing a video of their company and their roofing products. They would put a lifetime roof on even in the winter conditions and to which they did. The roofing installers were very professional and well trained for their product installation and they had our roof on in one day. WOW! That was very impressive too and the roof looks fantastic and the installer crew did a great clean-up before they left. The telephone communication with us also was very informative when the material was to be delivered and when the job was to be started and completed. Also, Interlock Roofing called back to us after the job was completed and asked how we like our new roof. We answered back a beautiful roof. We would recommend Interlock Lifetime Roofing System to anyone in our neighbourhood that is looking for a new roof. Also, we have had many, people walking and driving by our home this winter looking and admiring our new roof. Interlock Roofing System you met our roofing needs and our roof looks beautiful and it’s a good investment for our home. Thank you from us both to all of your professional associates and a great job well done.
We had purchased our home in the autumn of 1984 and in 2005 had a new asphalt roof installed. From day one our deck was always covered with particles from those shingles. These were so called 25 year guaranteed shingles which didn’t last 10 years but we waited a couple of extra years. We delved into the world of re-roofing and were surprised at the cost of what a new roof would cost (whether it was a tar shingled roof or a metal roof), and their warranties. My wife was playing Mah-jongg on her iPad and an advertisement for AlbertasBestRoof.com showed up on her screen and she asked for an estimate to do our roofs (house and 2 car garage). We were approached by Derek Bryer, a consultant for this company and he explained the differences in various roof products that were available in and outside of the company. After the tar shingles fiasco, my wife and I already determined to go the way of a metal roof. The night before the crew was to show up they called and said what time they would arrive in the morning. They showed up on time at 0730 hrs (730 AM) and were finished by 1815 hrs (615 PM). The crew was very professional and gave us an idea of what they were doing and went to work. There were 4 in the crew and they worked as a very efficient team and the job flowed smoothly. They also ensured that we had proper venting in the garage as there never was any venting. They did a great clean-up job and didn’t disturb any plants around the house. They were exceedingly professional. On July 20 the night they finished a storm rolled through and low and behold in the morning no grit on our deck or patio furniture and our water barrel had clear clean water in it (yeah!! for the flowers and garden). We are very pleased with the product as our house looks great and what a great future investment.
I chose Interlock to do my roofing, and I had an excellent experience. Everyone was on time, knowledgeable, and there was always someone to answer my concerns. I am extremely happy with product and how it was installed and would recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone who wants to re do their roof. Thanks! The roof looks beautiful, it really adds to the aesthetics of the house.
This is to advise you that Steve Graetsch and Jim Barnes have completed the installation of our Supertile aluminum roof. They have worked beyond the call of duty, in adverse conditions, and he.ve done an excellent job. My wife and I are extremely pleased with their professionalism, their knowledge, and the quality of their work. We heartily recommend their work to all, and have heard nothing but praise from all who have seen the new roof.
Yorman and his crew were very pleasant to deal with. There were no issues—just great communication and professional workmanship throughout the project. The crew cleaned up the job site at the end of each workday. I would recommend Interlock to anyone looking to add value to their property.
It was a great crew. Happy, friendly guys. Showed up when they said and worked hard until it was done. It looks great and the clean-up left things looking better than before. Five stars for the crew. Let's hope the product lives up to their standard.
We had Interlock replace our old shingles in October 2023. Their installation crew was professional and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their roofing system. We are looking forward to never having to replace our roof again. The roof looks absolutely fantastic and has aesthetically transformed our home. Thank you Interlock and your support staff for helping us make this happen so easily.
My new roof looks great and I’m glad I won’t have to replace it again. **Positive: **Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism **Services: **Roof installation
Interlock Roofing is very professional, quick, and efficient. I love my new roof. They should clean up as they go. My over experience was good and I love my new roof. I would recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone.
We had the roof installed a year ago and are very happy with the look. The installer was awesome and very professional. The gutters our easier to clean as a lot of debris blows off. Our house has had a number of additions and was prone to ice dams and leaks. This problem has been rectified with interlock. Of course 20 years down the road is the real test. But we are extremely happy with interlock so far. **Services: **Roof installation
On one edge of the roof it looks like a trim pice had been removed along the length of the roof to accommodate the new roof; The house had been recently painted, and so removal of this trim piece exposed unpainted wood surface which was only noticed by us a couple of weeks later (quite high up and in back yard so took a while to notice). This exposure of unpainted wood had not been communicated to us by the roofers, so there was a delay in repairing as we had to get the painters back later in the season to complete. Not a huge item but could have been expedited had the issue been communicated to us by roofers. Other than that no concerns or issues - the experience went well and was essentially painless! Excellent experience, quality and workmanship. The installation and sales teams were professional and very accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommend Interlock in future.
I would like to thank you for installing our new roof from Interlock Industries. I am so happy we went with the deep charcoal grey. I thought it would be too dark but it isn’t. Looks so good on our house as I now can take pride as a new customer. I would like to thank Derek Bryer and Terry for answering any questions I may have had, very knowledgeable and professional. I would also like to thank the installers they were very professional and polite. If I had a question they always answered. As a customer of Interlock Roofing – it may be more money than your asphalt shingles, but it is well worth every penny as you never have to re-shingle again. I would most definitely recommend the Interlock Roofing to any homeowner who is seriously wanting to replace their shingles.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Edmonton
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Edmonton, Alberta. Whether you are building a new home or replacing an existing roof, understanding how roofing materials perform in local weather conditions is essential. From wind and storm protection to fire resistance, hail impact, snow loads, and coastal moisture exposure, Interlock’s Lifetime Aluminum Roofing System is engineered to provide long-term durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind in Edmonton.
How does a metal roof handle Edmonton's heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles?
Metal roofs shed snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt because aluminum's smooth, hard surface prevents ice damming — critical in Edmonton's climate of about 120 cm annual snow and 94 freeze-thaw days per year. The four-way interlocking panels create a unified surface that won't split or crack under thermal stress. Aluminum's expansion coefficient is half that of steel, so seasonal temperature swings don't create the gaps that trap moisture and trigger rot. Optional snow guards can be added to match your roofline profile if desired. This material simply outlasts the freeze-thaw cycle that deteriorates asphalt and wood shingles within 15–20 years.
Why should I choose aluminum roofing instead of steel in Alberta's climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron — the element that oxidizes and fails. Instead, aluminum develops a self-healing oxide layer that actually protects the underlying metal when scratched. Steel requires constant maintenance and coatings to prevent rust, especially in Alberta's variable humidity and occasional salt-laden air from the south. Interlock's roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloys meet ASTM B209 and arrive with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating on both sides, warranted 30 years against corrosion. Over a 50-year lifespan, aluminum eliminates the rust risk and maintenance burden that steel roofs demand in this climate.
Will a metal roof hold up to Edmonton's wind and gust conditions?
Yes. Edmonton's typical gusts reach 105 km/h, and Interlock metal roofs are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The secret is the four-way interlocking aluminum panels — each panel locks to its neighbors on all four edges, creating a unified diaphragm that distributes wind load evenly across the deck rather than allowing individual shingles to lift. The lightweight construction (Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft) actually helps: less mass means wind pressure is less likely to overcome the mechanical interlock. This design exceeds IBC/IRC wind requirements under ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790, reissued 2025.
Can a metal roof actually reduce cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient Interlock colors are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council with thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny profile), meaning they reflect heat rather than absorb it like asphalt. Edmonton receives about 3,200 sunshine hours per year — enough to drive meaningful cooling savings on sunny days and weeks. Lighter colors especially bounce solar radiation away from your attic, keeping the space cooler and reducing air-conditioning load. This matters most in June through August, and the benefit compounds over decades: a reflective roof can reduce cooling energy by 10–30% depending on color choice and your home's orientation, making it one advantage that asphalt simply cannot match.
Does a metal roof qualify for hail or insurance discounts in Alberta?
Interlock metal roofs carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating — the highest available — and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 means the panel resists impact from a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet. Because aluminum is ductile and absorbs impact energy rather than cracking like brittle asphalt or slate, it performs exceptionally well in hail. Many homeowners in hail-prone regions report lower insurance premiums or discounts for Class 4 roofing. If you've experienced hail damage to previous roofs — common in Alberta — metal's impact resistance provides genuine peace of mind. Always confirm your insurance carrier's discount eligibility for Class 4 rated roofing.
Do I need to reinforce my house to support a metal roof?
No reinforcement is needed. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft — roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile — meaning it exerts minimal additional load on your existing framing. The Slate profile at 0.41 lb/sq ft is lighter still. You can install metal roofing directly over most existing asphalt shingles without structural upgrade, saving thousands in framing work. This is especially valuable in Edmonton, where many homes were built to support only asphalt (around 2–3 lb/sq ft). The four-way interlock actually distributes load more evenly than shingles, reducing point stress. This weight advantage means lower installation cost and no hidden structural surprises.
Is metal roofing worth the initial cost over asphalt in the long run?
Metal roofing costs more upfront but becomes the last roof you'll install. Asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years in Edmonton's climate of 434 mm rain, 120 cm snow, and 94 freeze-thaw cycles annually — those conditions accelerate granule loss and brittleness. A metal roof's Guardian Warranty provides a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, and cracking. Over 50 years, one metal roof replaces 2–3 asphalt roofs. Factor in avoiding tear-off labor multiple times, no major repairs, minimal maintenance, and potential cooling savings — metal breaks even around year 20–25 and saves money thereafter. Current financing includes 3 months interest-free and at least $2499 in installation savings, reducing that payback window further.
How long does a metal roof installation take, and can I install over my existing roof?
Most residential metal roof installations complete in 3–5 days, depending on roof size and complexity. Because Interlock panels are lightweight and four-way interlocking, crews work efficiently without structural delays. Yes, you can install over existing asphalt shingles in most cases — the aluminum panels are so light that no structural reinforcement is required. This over-roof approach saves on tear-off labor and landfill costs. Your local installer, Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd., has served this region since 1999 and understands Edmonton's specific permitting, weather windows, and installation best practices. They'll assess your roof during a free evaluation and outline the fastest, most cost-effective path for your home.
Is a metal roof actually better for the environment than asphalt?
Yes, substantially. Interlock aluminum roofing is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, while asphalt shingles — torn off every 15–20 years — end up in Alberta landfills by the ton and cannot be recycled. Over a 50-year span, you'll divert roughly 3–5 roofs' worth of asphalt waste from disposal by choosing metal once. The aluminum is roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 alloy meeting ASTM B209, sourced and manufactured in Delta, BC since 1998. When your metal roof eventually reaches end of life, it goes back to aluminum recyclers, not a dump. CALGreen verification confirms reduced maintenance waste as well. Choosing metal breaks the asphalt tear-off cycle and closes the recycling loop — a genuine environmental win.

Currently, they're offering 3 months interest-free financing and at least $2499 in installation savings. A free roof evaluation will connect you with their expertise and local pricing.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Edmonton’s climate?
Yes. Edmonton averages about 96 cm of snow, 434 mm of rain, roughly 94 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 105 km/h. Interlock® aluminum roofing is wind-rated to 193+ km/h (120 mph), UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated and Class A fire-rated, and its four-way interlocking panels shed snow and resist ice dams and freeze–thaw cracking — all backed by a lifetime limited, transferable warranty.
