Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Kilkenny, 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 Kilkenny
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Kilkenny, 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 Kilkenny.
How does a metal roof handle Kilkenny's 95 cm of annual snowfall?
Aluminum metal roofing sheds snow and ice more effectively than asphalt because its smooth surface prevents accumulation that leads to ice dams. Kilkenny receives about 95 cm of snow yearly with roughly 77 freeze-thaw cycles, which cause repeated expansion and contraction—a process that cracks and curls asphalt shingles. Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels remain dimensionally stable through those freeze-thaw swings. The panels' light weight (Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft) means no structural reinforcement is needed, and optional snow guards can be installed if extra retention is desired for safety.
Will my metal roof rust in Minnesota's wet climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron; instead, it forms a self-healing oxide layer that protects the metal even if scratched. Kilkenny averages 861 mm of annual rainfall and gusts reaching 99 km/h, exposing roofs to moisture and weather stress. Interlock's 3105-H24 aluminum alloy is coated on both sides with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading. This dual-sided protection was developed for coastal salt-air installations and provides the same durable defense in inland climates with heavy precipitation.
Can an aluminum metal roof withstand Minnesota wind gusts?
Yes. Interlock metal roofing is warranted to resist sustained wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification, and Kilkenny's typical wind gusts of 99 km/h (about 62 mph) fall well within that margin. The four-way interlocking panel design—where edges lock on all four sides—distributes wind load across the entire roof system rather than stressing individual fasteners. This engineering, combined with ICC-ES ESR-1790 code compliance, ensures the roof performs during the gusts your region experiences.
Does aluminum hold up to Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles?
Aluminum's inherent properties make it superior to brittle materials in freeze-thaw climates. Kilkenny experiences roughly 77 freeze-thaw days per year—a condition that causes wood to split, asphalt to crack, and concrete to spall. Aluminum expands and contracts but does not degrade; it remains dimensionally stable across those cycles. The Alunar coating system, proven across 25+ years of installations from coastal Canada to Antarctica, prevents moisture penetration that would exacerbate freeze-thaw damage. Your roof will not curl, crack, or lose integrity as freeze-thaw stresses mount.
What warranty does an Interlock metal roof come with?
Interlock's Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rust, rot, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—the very failures that plague asphalt and wood in Minnesota's 77 annual freeze-thaw days. The warranty transfers once to the next owner, extending 50 years from completion. No other roofing material offers this combination of indefinite protection for you and a half-century guarantee for future buyers, making an Interlock roof the last roof you will ever install.
Will my insurance company offer discounts for a metal roof in Minnesota?
Many insurers offer premium reductions for metal roofing because of its superior impact resistance. Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4, the highest hail impact rating available, and the warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. While Kilkenny's climate data does not highlight hail as a dominant risk, the Class 4 rating demonstrates material durability in severe weather across all conditions. Contact your insurer with the UL 2218 Class 4 certification and ICC-ES ESR-1790 documentation; many carriers recognize this specification and adjust premiums accordingly.
Do I need to reinforce my house before installing a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's aluminum profiles are extraordinarily light—the Slate installs at 0.41 lb/sq ft, and the Mediterranean Tile profile is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. This weight advantage means the roof can install directly over most existing structures and even over your current asphalt shingles, avoiding costly tear-off and disposal. The four-way interlocking system distributes loads evenly, and ICC-ES ESR-1790 approval confirms the design is safe for standard residential framing.
How much maintenance does a metal roof require?
Interlock metal roofing requires significantly less maintenance than asphalt, wood, or clay tile. Aluminum does not rot, split, or degrade under Kilkenny's 861 mm annual rainfall and 95 cm of snow. The Alunar coating is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance, and the smooth four-way interlocking surface sheds debris and snow without trapping moisture. You will not need to replace shingles, seal cracks, or treat for fungal growth. Periodic inspection is prudent, but active upkeep is minimal compared to asphalt's 15-25 year replacement cycle.
Will an Interlock metal roof reduce my cooling costs?
energy-efficient colors in Interlock's palette reflect heat rather than absorb it, thanks to thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny). Although Kilkenny averages only 3163 sunshine hours per year compared to southern climates, the reflective properties still lower cooling demand during Minnesota's warm months. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms performance. Combined with the roof's durability, you recoup energy savings over the lifetime of the installation, making the thermal benefit a secondary advantage to longevity in your climate.
Do you have a local metal roofing installer serving Kilkenny?
Yes. Interlock Metal Roofing has served the region since 2001 and provides direct installation, warranty support, and service across Kilkenny and Le Sueur County. The local installer team understands Minnesota's specific challenges—heavy snow, freeze-thaw stress, and wind—and ensures every panel is installed to specification for maximum wind and weather performance. Your roof benefits from a contractor with two decades of regional experience and proximity for any future service or questions.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Kilkenny’s climate?
Yes. Kilkenny 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.
