Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Cordova, Minnesota
| 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: Peter Brylinke My Interlock Shake style system was installed in June of 2019. We have now had it for an entire year and experienced the roof through all season, climate and weather conditions. Not only do we value the new look of our roof but the performance of the new roof has been exceptional. In the winter we have seen the snow pile up on it only to slide off as soon as the sun warms it enough. We have noticed a difference in the summers also with a cooler house. The roof has met all of our expectations and we are extremely happy with our decision to install this roof. Last summer when the workers were working on the roof, we were so pleased with the time and effort the workmen put into making sure all aspects of our roof were taken care of. They were courteous, hard working, respectful and considerate of our needs as homeowners. Carlos was instrumental in making sure that we were happy with every aspect of the work that was being done. In closing, we are very impressed with our roof and have recommended this same system to many people we know and many people who just " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">walk by and ask about it. We feel that we have made a great decision in putting this system on our home. ">" alt="Minneapolis MN 55409 Interlock Roof" width="2560" height="1920" />
Hi Peter, we wanted to convey to you how much we love our new Interlock roof! Several of our neighbors and friends have said they do, too! We love the look of it, and are so impressed with how beautifully finished it is integrated into the flashing materials. The Interlock scheduling staff was great to work with, and we are so happy with Jessie and his Interlock installation team. They are true craftsmen, and part artists! We loved how they treated our home with respect, and were always willing to address any questions we had. We watched as they worked on items until they had them just right; when we asked about some areas of concern multiple members of the installation team converged on the item and came down to explain and even illustrate with photographs how it was addressed. Again, we couldn't be happier and are enjoying our Interlock roof!
Dear Peter, I had Interlock Roofing install my black slate roof in the fall one year ago, and I couldn’t be happier! My roof still looks like new, and really stands out in my neighborhood. My old asphalt shingle roof was leaking. I had to shovel it every time it snowed because of " title="ice dams" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">ice dams in my older 1950’s house. I have had no issues at all with my new Interlock roof. It was so nice only to have to shovel my driveway this winter and not worry about snow on the roof. It all just slid off in only a few days after each snowfall. Also, the team that you had out to install my roof was exceptional. I was very impressed with the quality of the team that installed my roof. They were all very polite and worked well together as a team. They worked very hard, and got the job done, and completed in less than three days. I’ve never had to have anyone come back to fix or touch anything up. Thank you for the great job the Interlock team did to replace my roof. I would recommend Interlock to anyone needing a new roof without hesitation!
Dear Peter, I Wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new Interlock roof. It looks terrific, and I am anticipating that I will never have to roof rake my roof again now that your product has been installed. My house is small, a 3-bedroom rambler, but the visual impact the Interlock roof has added makes it look like a castle! All of the contact I have had with your personnel, from yourself to the lead foreman on the job and the men doing the install was pleasant and professional. The cleanup after the job was done was great and it only took 1-1/2 days for a complete tear-off to complete the installation. Please use this letter as a personal recommendation for your company and your product.
My Interlock ">Shake Style Roof in Aged Copper color was installed between December 21st and December 31st. Snow has covered most of the house and garage since it was installed, so I haven’t been able to enjoy the new look yet, but during the installation and before the snow it was obvious it I going to look great. I am glad I had them put Interlock ">Shakes on my 8ft x 16ft hip-roofed storage shed as well. There are a lot of huge oak trees close to my house and they had caused the heavy cedar hand-split shakes to deteriorate from moss growing on them. I knew I needed a roof that would not have this problem in the future. I am a retired mechanical engineer and had built the house and garage myself. I studied the specs on steel, stone coated steel and several aluminum style shakes, before finally settling on the Interlock product. I believe it will prove to be a good choice. I was very impressed with the quality and design of all the types of flashings, ridge vent, and fasteners that were expertly installed. I truly expect this roof to last and look great for generations. I was also very impressed with the crew who did the work under Juan and Carlos’ direction. They worked tirelessly in some difficult weather conditions and short daylight hours. A number of minor changes were made on the fly with gutters, snow guards and roof penetrations and they were all executed precisely. They were very careful in making sure the roofs were protected overnight, on weekends and during the Christmas holiday. They did a great job of cleaning up the difficult mess made removing the decayed shakes. I guess I won’t know for sure if there are any problems until we get some heavy rains in the spring and summer, but as of now, I would be happy to show the roof and talk to any prospective clients that are considering the Interlock product.
Well, the roof is on and I guess I owe you, folks, a testimonial. It looks great! We chose a black slate style shingle which accentuates our mansard roof very nicely with crisp, clean lines. We are getting lots of compliments from our neighbors. The best part is knowing that our roof will continue to look great for many, many years – long after conventional asphalt shingles would be cracking, curling, fading, streaking and collecting mold and mildew. The crew was first rate – very professional and efficient. It was fun to watch them work. Every single man seemed to know exactly what to do at all times. The process looked like a choreographed event. They were thorough and cleaned up after themselves at every step and, unlike some roofing jobs I’ve seen, they always immediately replaced what they tore out so that the house was never exposed to weather when they left the job at the end of the day. Finally, we really appreciated the “good faith” method of doing business with Interlock. We didn’t pay a dime up front or during the roofing process. Only after we had made a final inspection and approved the job were we asked for payment. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Interlock roofing to anyone replacing a roof or building a new house.
I am very satisfied with how the roof was done. I am very satisfied with the quality of the roof and how it looks. I'm sure I'll be happy with how it performs it's very excellent material andmy house looks great.
We are delighted with the workmanship and quality of our new roof. It has exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend an Interlock Roof to anyone looking to replace an old roof.
Interlock Roofing- Minneapolis is a very professional team for installation and quality of material! We are very happy! Considering the quality and endurance of the material, the cost isn't high in the long run. It absolutely makes the product much more feasible and reasonable than shingles!
Installation crew was amazing. I love my new roof. It’s a great investment.
great product, people and service. Highly recommend. Project completed during early winter. Installer plans to come back to assure complete clean up.
Our new roof looks fabulous! We’re optimistic that we’ll be equally as pleased with its performance. The installers were professional, safety conscious, and courtesy to our dog. We appreciate how understanding they were of our dog needing a little time in his yard when they were working in that side of the house.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Cordova
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Cordova, Minnesota. 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 Cordova.
How does a metal roof handle Minnesota's heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles?
Interlock metal roofing sheds snow efficiently because aluminum conducts heat and its smooth, interlocked surface prevents ice dams—a critical advantage in Cordova's ~120 cm annual snowfall and 77 freeze-thaw days per year. The panels' four-way interlocking system eliminates gaps where ice can lodge, reducing the structural stress and interior damage that asphalt roofs experience. Snow slides safely away rather than sitting for weeks, and the aluminum's self-healing oxide layer remains intact even as freeze-thaw cycles stress the material.
Why does aluminum outperform other roofing materials through Minnesota's freeze-thaw weather?
Aluminum expands and contracts predictably with temperature swings because it has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than steel or galvanized coatings—meaning repeated freezing and thawing (77 cycles annually in Cordova) causes less stress and no cracking or curling. Unlike asphalt, which becomes brittle in cold, aluminum remains resilient. The 3105-H24 alloy is specifically engineered for this: it won't rust when moisture infiltrates (since aluminum lacks iron), and the Alunar 70% PVDF coating is warranted 30 years against degradation, protecting against the salt-laden slush that accelerates corrosion on steel.
Can a metal roof rust in Minnesota's wet climate?
No—Interlock panels are made from roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209), which contains no iron and therefore cannot rust. Even if the coating is scratched, aluminum's oxide layer self-heals, protecting the underlying metal. This is crucial in Cordova, where ~861 mm of rainfall annually—combined with winter snow, melt cycles, and occasional salt treatments—would cause steel roofing to rust within years. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both sides of the panel provides an additional 30-year warranty against chalking and fading, adding a second layer of protection that keeps the material looking and performing like new.
Will a metal roof stay secure during Cordova's wind gusts?
Yes—Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, and Cordova's typical gusts reach ~99 km/h (61 mph), leaving a substantial safety margin. The interlocking design distributes wind load across multiple panels, preventing individual panels from lifting or peeling away. In a region averaging ~21 km/h daily winds with occasional strong gusts, this system proves far more resistant than shingles, which rely on fasteners alone. Combined with proper installation to specification, the four-way interlock creates a continuous, aerodynamic surface that flexes and distributes pressure rather than catching wind like traditional roofing.
Does hail damage metal roofing, and could it lower my insurance costs?
Interlock metal roofing is rated UL 2218 Class 4—the highest impact rating available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches, which far exceeds typical Cordova hail events. Unlike asphalt shingles that dent and lose granules, or slate that cracks, aluminum's lightweight Shingle profile (~0.41 lb/sq ft) absorbs impact without permanent deformation. Many insurers offer discounts for Class 4-rated roofs because they pose lower claims risk; contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 documentation. Over a 50+ year roof life, this durability—combined with fewer repairs—can offset material cost.
Do I need to reinforce my home's structure to support a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's Shingle profile weighs ~0.41 lb/sq ft, the Shake ~0.58 lb/sq ft, and even the Tile profile—which mimics concrete or clay tile—weighs only ~0.59 lb/sq ft, making it approximately 96% lighter than traditional tile. This means you can install Interlock over most existing roofs without trusses or framing upgrades, reducing labor costs significantly. In Cordova's ~120 cm annual snowfall, the lightweight panels distribute snow load evenly across framing without requiring the expensive structural reinforcement that would be mandatory if you replaced asphalt shingles with slate or clay tile.
What's the real lifespan of an Interlock metal roof, and how does the warranty work?
The Guardian Warranty is a non-prorated lifetime limited material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's transferable once, giving the next owner 50 years of coverage from completion—a powerful resale tool. Manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC, Interlock panels have been installed in environments ranging from coastal salt-air homes to an Antarctic research station, proving 25+ year durability under extreme conditions. In Cordova's moderate freeze-thaw and rainfall climate (~77 freeze-thaw days, ~861 mm rain annually), aluminum roofing typically outlasts 2–3 asphalt roof cycles, making it genuinely a final roof investment.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles over the long term?
Yes, when you calculate total cost over 50+ years. Asphalt roofs cost less initially but require replacement every 15–25 years, meaning Cordova homeowners buy 2–3 roofs in a typical ownership period—plus labor, waste removal, and roof-off insurance. Interlock's non-prorated lifetime warranty and 50-year transferable coverage eliminate replacement cycles. The four-way interlocking design also reduces maintenance, repair, and potential water damage costs that asphalt roofs experience during Cordova's ~77 annual freeze-thaw days and ~861 mm rainfall. While the material investment is higher, the elimination of multiple tear-offs, reinstallation labor, and disruption makes it competitive or cheaper over 50 years.
How does a metal roof impact the environment compared to asphalt?
Interlock aluminum roofing is approximately 95% recyclable, breaking the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle that generates thousands of tons of waste annually. When an asphalt roof reaches end of life in Cordova after 15–20 years, the entire torn-off roof becomes landfill; multiply that by homeowners across Le Sueur County and the volume becomes significant. Aluminum, by contrast, retains resale value as scrap and can be melted and reformed infinitely without loss of properties. The Guardian Warranty's 50-year transferability also means fewer total roofs manufactured to cover the same timespan. Additionally, the roof's reflective energy-efficiency coating reduces cooling demand over decades, cutting carbon emissions during the 3163 annual sunshine hours when heat gain would otherwise be absorbed.
Who installs Interlock metal roofing in the Cordova area, and how long have they been serving the region?
Interlock Metal Roofing has served the Cordova and Le Sueur County region since 2001, bringing over two decades of experience with installations across Minnesota's variable freeze-thaw, snow, wind, and rainfall conditions. Local installation expertise ensures the four-way interlocking panels are sealed and fastened to specification, critical for maximizing the 120 mph wind warranty and ice-dam resistance in a region experiencing ~99 km/h gusts and ~120 cm seasonal snowfall. Working with an established local installer who understands Minnesota's climate and building codes (ICC-ES ESR-1790 compliant) means your roof is installed correctly the first time, protecting your Guardian Warranty coverage and ensuring the longevity you're investing in.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Cordova’s climate?
Yes. Cordova averages about 95 cm of snow, 861 mm of rain, roughly 77 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 99 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.
