Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Utica, 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 Utica
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Utica, 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 Utica.
How does a metal roof handle Utica's heavy snow load and ice dams?
Aluminum's smooth, hard surface sheds snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt—preventing the ice dams that form when melting water refreezes at roof edges in Utica's typical 83 freeze-thaw days per year. The four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, so they anchor snow securely without slipping or billowing. With about 99 cm of snow annually, you'll appreciate that aluminum doesn't absorb moisture or degrade under freeze-thaw cycling the way asphalt does. Optional snow guards can be added to prevent avalanche-style slides. The lightness—Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft—means no structural reinforcement needed, even under peak snow loads.
Will freeze-thaw cycles in Minnesota damage an aluminum metal roof?
No. Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron; it develops a protective oxide layer that self-heals when scratched—exactly what you need in a climate with 83 annual freeze-thaw days. Unlike asphalt, which becomes brittle and cracks under thermal stress, or wood shakes, which split, aluminum expands and contracts uniformly without degradation. The roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) is specified for exactly this cycling. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating—warranted 30 years against fading and chalking—adds a second defense layer. Utica's mean temperature of 8.1°C and variable winter conditions won't compromise the material; the Guardian Warranty covers cracking and splitting for the original owner's lifetime.
Can an aluminum roof rust or corrode in Minnesota winters?
Aluminum cannot rust at all—it contains no iron, the element that oxidizes and creates rust. Instead, it forms a microscopic oxide layer that actually protects the metal and self-repairs when scratched. This is a fundamental material difference, not a coating advantage. Steel roofing, by contrast, requires constant maintenance to prevent rust, especially after road salt or freeze-thaw cycles expose the substrate. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both sides of every Interlock panel (even the underside, crucial in salt air or wet climates) adds corrosion resistance and is warranted 30 years. Utica's 818 mm annual rainfall won't corrode aluminum the way it degrades steel or wood. The result: a roof that lasts without rust repair.
How does a metal roof perform in Utica's spring and fall windstorms?
Interlock's four-way interlocking panels lock together so tightly that they move as a single unit—the warranty covers wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h), well above Utica's typical gust maxima of about 101 km/h. Each panel interlocks on all four edges, eliminating the lifting and flutter that affect shingles. The UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating (the highest available) means the roof also resists hailstone impact up to 1.5 inches, common in spring severe weather. With about 3,109 sunshine hours per year in Utica, you'll see the roof's durability firsthand over decades—no shingles torn away by April wind gusts or granules lost to friction. The Guardian Warranty explicitly covers wind loss when installed to spec.
Will a metal roof reduce my homeowner's insurance in Utica?
Many insurers offer discounts for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated roofing—the highest hail rating available. Interlock achieves this without brittleness; the aluminum's ductility absorbs impact energy rather than cracking. The Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches, a rare promise in the roofing industry. Spring storms in Minnesota often produce hail, and asphalt shingles typically fail at smaller impact sizes, triggering claims and rate increases. Contact your insurer with the ESR-1790 evaluation report and UL 2218 Class 4 certification—many will quote a premium reduction immediately. Over a 50-year lifespan, those discounts compound into meaningful savings.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. The Mediterranean Tile profile weighs about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Even the heavier Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft is a fraction of traditional tile weight. This means Interlock can install over most existing roofs, avoiding costly framing upgrades. Utica's average snow load of about 99 cm per year is well within the capacity of standard roof framing when topped by such light material. The four-way interlocking system distributes weight evenly across the deck. You get the visual richness of slate, cedar, shake, or tile—profiles offered on this page—without the structural cost. Installation typically happens in days, not weeks of reinforcement work.
What warranty comes with an Interlock metal roof in Minnesota?
The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years from completion. That means a roof installed today stays protected through 2074 for the second owner alone. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating carries a separate 30-year warranty against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214/D2244 measured). With Utica's 83 annual freeze-thaw days and 818 mm rainfall, you're covered for the worst seasonal stress. The warranty is issued by Interlock Metal Roofing, your local installer since 2001—not a third-party administrator, so claims are direct.
Can an aluminum roof lower my cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat rather than absorb it. The Cool Roof Rating Council rates Interlock's reflective coatings with initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity 0.84—meaning the roof bounces sun away instead of trapping heat like asphalt shingles do. In Utica's approximately 3,109 annual sunshine hours, this reflectivity translates to measurable cooling savings, especially on east and west exposures. Darker energy-efficiency colors still outperform asphalt; lighter finishes can save 10-15% of cooling energy in warm months. The net effect over 50 years: lower utility bills, reduced strain on HVAC systems, and a smaller carbon footprint. The aluminum itself is ~95% recyclable at end of life, closing the material loop.
How long does it take to install an Interlock metal roof?
Installation typically completes in 2-5 days depending on roof complexity and weather. Because aluminum panels are exceptionally light—Shingle profile at 0.41 lb/sq ft—crews move quickly without structural strain. Interlock installs over most existing asphalt roofing, avoiding a costly and wasteful tear-off. Your local installer, Interlock Metal Roofing, has been serving the region since 2001 and understands Utica's weather windows; they schedule around the 99 cm of snow and 818 mm of annual rainfall. The four-way interlocking system is straightforward to seal and fasten. Most homeowners remain in their homes during installation. The ICC-ES evaluation report (ESR-1790, reissued 2025) ensures the installation meets all Minnesota building code requirements.
Is an aluminum metal roof better for the environment than asphalt?
Yes. Aluminum is ~95% recyclable; at end of life, your roof becomes raw material for new products. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, shed 20 million tons annually into landfills in North America—they don't decompose and can't be recycled into new roofing. Interlock's manufacturing process in Delta, BC, uses established aluminum recycling supply chains. By installing a metal roof now, you eliminate the tear-off-to-landfill cycle entirely; your roof won't need replacement for 50+ years, and when it does, it recycles. Utica's 83 freeze-thaw days and heavy snow stress asphalt faster, requiring more frequent replacement and more landfill waste. The Guardian Warranty's 50-year transferability also extends the roof's useful life—fewer replacements per generation means fewer resources consumed. CALGreen verification confirms Interlock's reduced-maintenance design lowers environmental impact over its lifespan.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Utica’s climate?
Yes. Utica averages about 99 cm of snow, 818 mm of rain, roughly 83 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 101 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.
