Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Le Center, 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 Le Center
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Le Center, 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 Le Center.
How does a metal roof handle Le Center's heavy snow and ice?
Interlock's four-way interlocking panels shed snow and ice predictably without the buildup that traps moisture under asphalt shingles. With about 95 cm of snow per year and roughly 77 freeze-thaw days, your roof faces repeated expansion and contraction—aluminum's oxide layer self-heals when stressed, while the 30-year Alunar coating resists salt-laden runoff. The lightweight design (Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft) carries snow loads without structural strain, and custom snow guards can be added to manage edge release safely.
Why does freeze-thaw cycling in Minnesota affect metal roofs differently?
Aluminum roofing doesn't absorb moisture, so it won't split, crack, or rot through repeated freezing cycles—unlike wood shakes or asphalt that trap water in fibers. Le Center experiences about 77 freeze-thaw days yearly, and your roof's 3105-H24 aluminum alloy simply contracts and expands without degradation. The Alunar fluorocarbon finish (warranted 30 years against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214) protects against the salt spray that accelerates corrosion on steel, keeping your panels looking newer far longer than materials that depend on sealants.
Can a metal roof rust in Minnesota's wet climate?
No—Interlock uses aluminum, which contains no iron and cannot rust chemically. When scratched, aluminum forms a new oxide layer automatically, protecting itself. This matters in Le Center where you receive about 861 mm of rainfall annually: steel roofs corrode from inside out as water migrates under coatings, but aluminum simply doesn't. The two-sided Alunar coating (applied to both faces) adds a 30-year barrier against corrosion, making it especially durable in freeze-thaw regions where water works into every crevice of traditional materials.
Is a metal roof secure in Minnesota windstorms?
Yes—Interlock's panels lock together at all four edges, creating a unified structure that resists wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to spec. Le Center's typical gusts reach about 99 km/h (roughly 61 mph), so you have significant safety margin. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 confirms the system meets IBC/IRC code for wind resistance. Because the panels interlock rather than overlap like shingles, there's no edge lift-off—wind pressure actually cinches the seams tighter, unlike traditional roofing that can peel up from corners and edges during strong storms.
Does hail damage a metal roof, and can I get insurance discounts?
Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Aluminum's hardness resists denting better than softer metals, and the warranty stands even if impact occurs. Many insurers recognize the durability and may offer premium reductions; contact yours with the UL 2218 Class 4 rating. Le Center sees hail risk during severe convective storms, and this rating means you're protected against the most punishing impacts, with no deductible for covered events.
Can my home's frame support a metal roof without reinforcement?
Almost certainly yes. The Mediterranean Tile profile weighs just 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so most homes can install Interlock over existing roof structures without reinforcement. Compare that to slate or wood shake, which demand expensive framing upgrades. The lightweight design is especially valuable in Le Center because it simplifies the installation process and reduces labor costs while giving you the authentic appearance of premium materials. Ice and snow accumulation loads are the same as any roof; the difference is that Interlock carries that load without straining your home's beams.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood?
Interlock requires almost no maintenance. Unlike asphalt shingles that curl and granulate, or wood shakes that split and invite moss, aluminum panels won't rot, don't need resealing, and shed debris naturally. The CALGreen-verified design reduces maintenance burden—no annual inspections, no coating renewal, no moss removal in the damp Minnesota climate. Twice-yearly gutter cleaning handles it. With 3163 sunshine hours per year in Le Center, your roof self-cleans in UV exposure and rain (about 861 mm annually), keeping the Alunar finish looking uniform without pressure washing or chemicals.
Yes—energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect solar heat rather than absorb it, reducing summer cooling load even in Minnesota's moderate climate. The aluminum's thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) mean less heat enters your attic. With about 3163 sunshine hours per year in Le Center, this matters on clear days when outside temps spike. You also avoid the 50-year cycle of asphalt absorbing heat, which ages roofing faster and makes attics hotter. The energy advantage compounds: cooler attics mean lower HVAC strain and longer equipment life.
Do reflective metal roofs really lower cooling costs in Minnesota?
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Interlock is the last roof you'll buy. Asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years and ends in landfills; Interlock's lifetime limited Guardian Warranty (non-prorated for the original owner) means you replace it only if you choose to, not because it failed. Over 50+ years, you avoid three asphalt replacements and tear-off disposal costs. The Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, and Mediterranean Tile profiles eliminate the aesthetic compromise of standing seam. One-time transferability gives the next owner 50 years of coverage, protecting resale value. In Le Center's harsh climate—with 95 cm snow, 77 freeze-thaw days, and gusts to 99 km/h—durability directly saves money.
Is metal roofing better for the environment than asphalt?
Yes—Interlock aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, breaking the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle. Every time a traditional roof fails in Le Center's freeze-thaw climate (about 77 days per year), tons of shingles bury in landfills for centuries. Aluminum avoids this; when eventually replaced, your panels return to the recycling stream as raw material. The manufacturing process in Delta, BC uses less energy per pound than replacing asphalt repeatedly over decades. You also eliminate the need for roofing cement, sealants, and plastic underlayment that asphalt systems require, reducing chemical runoff into Minnesota's waterways.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Le Center’s climate?
Yes. Le Center 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.
