Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Strathcona, British Columbia
| 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:
We are very pleased with the Interlock Roofing System that you recently installed on our 761 E.12th street property. We chose your product for it’s Clean, Contemporary look, Durability and Quality. Your installation Manager, Todd Jones, was always available for consultation. His professional approach and product expertise ensured we got what we needed to complete this Custom Design Roof, on time and within the budget. As you are aware, our home is a West Coast Contemporary Design; constructed of post and beams, glass and cement; with a roof line that looks simple but is, in fact, unique and complicated. It has 2 vertical floating wings with a flat horizontal overhang between them, all rising to the peak. The roof, then, drops back over the remainder of the house with large overhangs over several decks. All sides are visible from the street. We needed a product that complimented this design and looked good from all angles. Your installer, Mike Hayes, was excellent. His knowledge, workmanship and attention to detail made this roof a SHOWCASE for your product and our home. Many of our tradesman and all passersby have commented on the quality of work and your roofing system. All the comments are positive. It looks wonderful. The Interlock Roofing System gives the” WOW” factor we were hoping for, and the guarantee of a quality product, for many years to come. We would not hesitate to recommend your roofing system, at any time, and look forward, in the future, to doing business with you on our next project.
Mike was our main roofer on the job. He spent and used his best knowledge and experience and made our roof as his own. Awesome. Did you receive the products and services presented to you by our company representative? 100% Are you happy with the appearance of your new roofing system? 100% Please rate your experience with our installation team 90% Were our installers courteous and professional in their work? 100% Was all of the excess debris removed from your property and the area thoroughly cleaned up upon completion of the installation? 100% Would you recommend our company to others as dealing fairly and in good faith? 100%
Many years ago, we had our roof installed by Interlock Roofing Company, which came with a lifetime warranty. The roof served us well, but over the last couple of years the paint began to peel and it became quite unsightly. We contacted Interlock to request a replacement. I have to admit, it took some time and a few follow-up emails and phone calls, but eventually our case was passed to Todd — and thanks to him, our problem was fully resolved.Todd arranged for the best installer, Danny, to handle our roof, and I don’t have enough words to describe how exceptional he is. Not only is Danny extremely knowledgeable and professional, but he is also a true perfectionist who pays attention to every detail. Our roof looks beautiful again thanks to both Todd and Danny.We truly appreciate their dedication and the quality of their work.
To whom it may concern, We are writing to tell you how happy we are with our new roof installed by your company in May. Who knew when we went to the Vancouver Boat Show in January we would spend most of our time there at your presentation booth with salesman, Randal. He was very enthusiastic about your products, service and company. We arranged for him to come to our home to give us a quote where he explained the product, installation, history of company in detail and emphasized the quality of the products and installation and pride of ownership. Although the price was higher than expected, the end result was so much more than we expected. The installation went very well. Mike was amazing and we can’t say enough about how respectful he and his crew were. They cleaned up every day and explained every part of the installation as they progressed. They started the job on time and ended on time – again having our driveway lawn and patio areas absolutely clean and nail free. We have had many people stop to ask about the roof since it can be seen from a main street at the end of our cul-de-sac and we are more than happy to share our positive experience with them – passing along your phone number. Thank you for this positive experience and adding value to our home – and pride of ownership!
I would like to take this time to say thank you for a job well done. From sales, to project manager, to roofer, the team worked in a highly professional manner. The job was organized efficiently and completed in a timely manner. All materials on completion were taken away within the next day. Michael's work was efficient and very well done. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and workmanship of the roof. I particularly like the finishing touches on the roof edges and around the chimney's flashing. Michael did an excellent job! My home now has a much better cleaner profile. I am also surprised at how there is no extra noise on a rainy day - and we do have those rainy days here on the west coast. I had actually thought this may be an issue with the home being 80 years old as no extra sound proofing allowable, so am very pleased with the outcome. Once again thank you for a job well done.
Very pleased with professional and friendly attitude of every employee. Roof looks fantasticWaiting for a bit of cosmetic work on the chimney flashing.
Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. To whom it may concern I would like to commend your staff who were very courteous and helpful from my first meeting with your representative, Colin James, who was very informative and answered all my questions and doubts regarding your roofing system. Colin made sure that I was quite comfortable with your system before I signed the contract. It was a pleasure to meet Colin. Your office was very good in keeping me informed on the delivery date of the materials and installation date. Todd followed up with phone calls to make sure that everything was on schedule. My special thanks goes to Michael Hayes who did an excellent job of the installation and took necessary steps to see that everything was okay. e.g. He mentioned about my skylights which needed replacing and informed Todd who placed an order for the replacement. No hesitation in commenting on his politeness and professionalism. My thanks to his helper, “quiet” James also.
Now that you have completed the job of replacing our old cedar shingle roof with an Interlock Standing Seam aluminum roof, Jayne and I are writing to express our thanks for the work that you have done. At all times throughout the project, we have been impressed by your professionalism, work ethic and attention to detail. We would also like to thank you for taking efforts to minimize the disruption caused by us by the work and for carrying out several extra jobs (including the replacement of light bulbs in hard to reach lights under the eaves of our house and several sections of corroded downpipe) willingly and efficiently. We are pleased to have had you in charge of the work on our roof and would have no hesitation in strongly recommending you and your team to anyone else wishing to install a new roof.
The only thing that shocked us a little bit is the amount of time that it took. Somewhere along the line in the beginning if they had said it would be three weeks we would have known that and planned for it. It's not a problem, because they were fantastic and excellent, I just didn't think it would be almost four weeks. I will recommend them. I already have!
I was very happy with the salesman, project manager, and workers. They were very respectful and I was comfortable with having them around which is important to me. NONE
Timely, courteous, cleaned up daily. The roof is for life ... so sadly I can only refer friends to interlock.
Overall experience was great. No real improvement points. The Interlock team accommodated an accelerated start date since we had water issues in the old roof. The project was completed ahead of schedule as well once it started. We also were getting the gutters done at the same time so the Interlock team was able to work with the gutter installers to make sure the roof was installed in a manner that worked seamlessly with the gutters which was appreciated.Another impressive aspect has been the experience after the project was complete. Todd and the team cares about the product and it shows in terms of answering questions and willingness to go out of the way to make sure we were completely satisfied. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Strathcona
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Strathcona, British Columbia. 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 Strathcona.
How does a metal roof handle Strathcona's heavy snow and ice buildup?
Metal roofs shed snow and ice effectively because aluminum's smooth surface and thermal properties prevent ice dams that trap water on asphalt. Strathcona receives about 250 cm of snow annually, and the lightweight Interlock panels (Shingle profile at 0.41 lb/sq ft) eliminate the structural concerns that heavy slate or tile would create. Four-way interlocking seams stay watertight through freeze-thaw cycles—Strathcona experiences roughly 59 freeze-thaw days per year—while the non-prorated lifetime warranty covers splitting and cracking that weather extremes cause in rigid materials.
Why does freeze-thaw cycling in our climate matter for roof material choice?
Freeze-thaw damage occurs when water enters material, expands as ice, and splits it from the inside—a cycle Strathcona sees about 59 times yearly. Aluminum does not absorb water and cannot rot or crack from ice pressure; its oxide layer self-heals when scratched, preventing corrosion pathways. Asphalt and wood shakes absorb moisture and degrade under repeated freezing with temperatures averaging 9.5°C annually. The Guardian Warranty's non-prorated coverage for splitting and cracking reflects Interlock's confidence that aluminum resists the specific stress this climate inflicts.
Can a metal roof actually rust in a wet climate like ours?
Aluminum metal roofing cannot rust because aluminum oxide (the white powdery layer that forms on bare aluminum) is not rust—it's a stable, self-healing barrier that actually prevents corrosion underneath. Steel roofing, by contrast, rusts from iron oxidation and requires protective coatings that eventually fail. The Alunar® 70% PVDF finish adds a second layer of protection, with a 30-year coating warranty, making Interlock ideal for Strathcona's 2120 mm of annual rainfall. Combined with non-prorated lifetime coverage for rusting, aluminum eliminates the progressive failure mode that degrades steel over decades.
Is a metal roof strong enough to handle Strathcona's wind gusts?
Yes—Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. Strathcona's typical gusts reach about 129 km/h, well within this rating. The interlocking system distributes wind load across multiple panels rather than relying on fasteners alone, a design verified under ICC-ES ESR-1790 (the current 2025 building code standard). This engineering explains why Interlock has installed roofs from coastal salt-air homes to an Antarctic research station—regions where wind and weather are unforgiving.
Will my homeowner's insurance give me a discount for a hail-rated metal roof?
Many insurers do offer discounts for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated roofs, the highest hail classification available. Interlock's aluminum panels carry this rating and are warranted against perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Check with your broker to confirm your policy's discount schedule, but the combination of durability, impact resistance, and non-prorated lifetime coverage often improves your insurance position. Given Strathcona's exposure to severe weather, documenting a Class 4 roof in your claim file provides both protection and potential savings.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for metal roofing?
No structural reinforcement is required because Interlock aluminum panels weigh extraordinarily little—the Slate and Cedar Shingle profiles install at about 0.41 lb/sq ft, roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. This lightness allows installation directly over most existing roofs, eliminating costly tear-off and structural work. By contrast, traditional tile or slate requires engineered support and often roof replacement. Strathcona homes built in the post-1980s typically lack the framing for heavy materials, making aluminum's weight advantage both practical and cost-effective from day one.
What maintenance does an aluminum metal roof actually require?
Interlock aluminum roofs require minimal maintenance compared to asphalt, wood, or tile. The Alunar® 70% PVDF finish resists chalking and fading for 30 years (ASTM D4214/D2244 measured), eliminating the need for recoating. Asphalt shingles require granule replacement and sealant reapplication every 10–15 years; wood shakes split and cup; concrete tile cracks and leaks at grout lines. In Strathcona's 2120 mm annual rainfall, the sealed four-way interlocking panels stay watertight without ongoing repair, and the CALGreen-verified design confirms reduced maintenance versus traditional materials.
What's the real cost difference between a metal roof and asphalt over 40 years?
Metal roofing costs more upfront but becomes cheaper over the roof's life. Asphalt averages 20–25 years with 2–3 replacements and labor per 40-year span; Interlock's non-prorated lifetime warranty and 50-year transferable coverage mean one roof for the original owner and decades more for the next. Current regional promotion offers interest-free payments for 3 months and saves at least $2499 on installation. Over 40 years, the elimination of tear-offs, disposal, reinstallation labor, and insurance claims for hail or wind damage typically favors aluminum. Strathcona's high rainfall (2120 mm) and wind gusts (129 km/h) accelerate asphalt failure, making this math even stronger here.
Is metal roofing actually better for the environment?
Aluminum roofing ends the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle that most homeowners repeat every 20–25 years. Interlock panels are roughly 95% recyclable at end of life, returning material value instead of creating waste. Strathcona receives about 2120 mm of annual rainfall, and the durable four-way interlocking design eliminates the premature failure and replacement cycles that asphalt and wood endure in wet climates. A single Interlock installation replaces multiple asphalt roofs over 50 years, reducing landfill volume, transportation emissions, and the environmental cost of manufacturing replacement shingles. Recycled aluminum content in the panels further closes the loop.

Yes. Strathcona averages about 250 cm of snow, 2120 mm of rain, roughly 59 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 129 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.
