Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Ayock, Washington
| 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:
It's been about 6 weeks since our new roof was completed, and we are thrilled with the result. The whole process from start to finish was seamless and very efficient. As a salesperson myself, I was impressed with the 'no pressure' approach to selling us the roof and the information that was provided to us to make an informed decision on the type of roof for our home. We chose the black slate and it looks very smart and has transformed the look of our home considerably. Since the roof was installed, we have had the usual mixed bag of Washington weather - heavy rain, hail, strong winds, and frost. Our roof has been put to the test and passed with flying colors. Frank observed the installation process and was impressed with the seamless flashing, custom-made on site, and state of the art vent coverings. Our roof looks beautiful and stands out from the others in our neighborhood. We were particularly impressed with the workmanship of Victor and Mark Lomakin, the two men who installed the roof. They were punctual, fast, courteous, respectful, efficient and very professional. Our neighbors also commented on how well they worked. When the roof was complete, they cleared away all debris and even removed the unwanted satellite dish from our roof. It couldn't have gone better. We received all the financial documentation in a timely manner and all of the employees we have dealt with have been very knowledgeable and helpful. Our only criticism is that it would be nice to have an online payment facility for overpayments. Currently the only way to do that is to mail a payment to Canada but we don't have checks so we would have to purchase money orders and mail them as we intend to make over-payments along the way. We would happily recommend Interlock to anyone looking for a new roof. Kind regards Jennifer and Frank Herboldsheimer Ocean Shores, WA
Of the five name brand roofing contractors I screened for this project I chose Interlock and I am very pleased with the roof. Coordination and communication was critical especially since Interlock was to perform the installation immediately following another contractor performing a siding replacement. Communication with the interlock team was great and they remained flexible. Interlock was able to adjust their installation timeline as issues popped up with the siding project. Interlock promptly scheduled and dispatched materials and crew as soon as the siding contractor cleared out. I was a bit concerned about introducing a ">metal roof to the neighborhood, but could not be happier with the end result. In an effort to help tie everything together I had the siding contractor match the fascia wrap and gutters to the interlock ">roof black slate finish. The installation team was courteous, professional, and they notified me of any issues they ran across with the structure during the tear-off phase. Clean-up performed by the installation team was better than that performed by other contractors that had worked at the site. Great attention to detail and they took extra measures to protect sensitive areas around the house. I am currently working with their finance department as I Refinance the house and they are by far the friendliest finance team I have ever worked with. Great communication and customer care standards! The roof looks amazing and definitely grabs the attention of people driving by. The most amusing reaction so far was while I was watering the plants in the front yard a vehicle drove by, stopped abruptly, turned around, and pulled up into the driveway. A salesman in corporate attire for another roofing company stepped out of the vehicle and started asking questions about the roof. I was very familiar with the brand he represented because their product is rated among the best asphalt roofing products in the country. I thought that was quite amusing because here I am giving him contact information for a competitor . He was interested in something similar for his home so we talked for a bit about the Interlock Roof and he was very impressed. Reminded me of those old Coke versus Pepsi commercials.
Thanks for a very positive roofing experience! Our new roof is so beautiful we’re thinking of charging a fee to all the gawking neighbors that stop by to admire it!!! This was fun, positive experience from start to finish. Our sales rep spent three hours at our home going over every possible detail with us. He was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions. As you can see by the pictures we have a pretty basic roof. There was no tear off to do; still, our three installers were 80% done on the very first day! Everything was done and cleaned up to our satisfaction by the end of day two. Our installers were friendly, courteous and hard working. I watched them for a few minutes as they all worked like a finely tuned machine installing our roof in perfect rhythm. For us, Interlock meant that the third time was the charm. We’d tried to do business with two other companies. The first took a large amount of money as a down payment and gave absolutely no customer service for two months. We got our money back and started over. The second company gave an inaccurate bid. Needless to say, we entered into this contract with some trepidation. interlock is a fabulous company and we’d recommend them to anyone in the market for a new roof!
We are writing this letter to show our appreciation for the wonderful job that was done on our roof. From the date your company representative met with us in our home to the date of completion, words cannot express how completely satisfied we are with your company. We definitely wanted a quality roof and were very impressed by the representation that was given to us. The product you provide was enough for us to make our decision, however it was a huge plus not to have to deal with a pushy salesman and to have such polite, friendly and hard working men providing the service. It was a pleasure to have them around our home. The quality, craftsmanship and lifetime warranty of this ">roof far outweighs the increased costs over other roof systems. However, other roof systems don't come with lifetime warranties and many only last for 8 to 10 years. We may have paid a little more initially, but how wonderful it is to know we will never have to re-roof our home again. And in addition to all of the above, it looks so beautiful and has added so much style to our home. I never dreamed a roof could make such a difference. Again, Thank you so much and be sure to know we will highly recommend your company to all of our family and friends.
I am very pleased with the entire experience with Interlock Roofing. Ross did a fantastic job of showing me all of the options available, and explaining how Interlock is different from other roofing. This was not a hard sales pitch. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable a metal roof was. I had five other estimates for a traditional composite roof, and the price difference for a forever roof was negligible considering all the benefits. Next, the installation. These guys were amazing! Only two guys doing the demo and reroof, but very hard workers and did a fantastic job. It seems rare these days to find skilled tradesmen that take pride in their work, and these guys exceeded my expectations. I also took advantage of Interlock’s financing. Drew was very helpful and accommodating. The whole process was taken care of through Interlock, making it super convenient and great communication throughout. I will highly recommend:)
I installed a new metal interlock roof on my home in Anacortes. A big part of the cost was removing the existing concrete tiles from my roof which are a challenge. From the beginning working with sales, Paul and Ross was a pleasure...very responsive and professional. The installion crew and project managers, Tony and Patrick were terrific to work with. There were a few complications due to the existing roof but the Interlock team worked with me to resolve those issues. The crew were punctual and the installation proceeded on schedule. The cleanup was immaculate. My main goal was NOT to see any further leaking in my lifetime and hopefully that will be achieved. The roof looks great. If you are in the market for a metal roof, I would certainly recommend Interlock.
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Thank you Interlock for our beautiful new roof! Installation was great from start to finish. We have lots of neighbors walking by and saying “wow” and that it doesn’t look like a metal roof. We are so happy to have our “forever” roof and to never have to re-roof again! 😀 Only wish we had done it SOONER!

Just a few days ago my husband and I were excited to see our new Interlock aluminum roof completed in the gorgeous eye popping finish of copper penny shake topping our newly purchased log home in Bellingham WA. We are so thankful for the signage that the company uses when completing new roofs because when we were first looking at our home and considering a purchase we happened to drive by a house just down the road that had the same " title="copper" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper finish aluminum Interlock roof that we eventually decided on. Seeing this roof installed on another house was the impetus that we needed to call the company and begin our inquiry well before we even purchased our home. We did our homework and considered other roofing materials and companies, but Interlock stood out in our minds as our top choice. The Interlock salesmen, Ross and Paul also went out of their way to come and look at the home and the roofing and bring samples to put on the roof for us to see during our inspection period. They also met with us immediately after closing on a Sunday as we wanted to lock in on a date for installation as soon as we could. We have a very large square footage of roofing, as well as a roof line that is very prominent on the house and we wanted to do something to enhance the stately character for what is definitely a very magical house and property. We have only now owned our house for less than two months, and already have our beautiful new roof completely installed. As we closed on our house in mid-October and we live in the Pacific NW near the Canadian border, this is already a feat. The team of roofers who were sent by Interlock to do our installation were some of the hardest working, most focused, and skilled labor crew we have had the pleasure of coming across. They completed the job in 2.5 weeks, working weekdays and Saturdays, arriving at 7:30 AM and working until 6 PM into the darkness with headlamps on. They worked in rain, cold, and very windy conditions, removing 90,000 lbs. of clay " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">tile roofing and replacing it with the Interlock 100 year warrantied high quality roofing. The team was extremely respectful, also replacing a skylight that we added to the job mid-way and reinforcing roofing around other skylights that appeared to be leaking. All members of the Interlock company that we have spoken with or had contact with otherwise have been friendly and personable, respectful, and quickly and effectively addressed any questions or issues that we have brought to their attention. We feel safe and secure under our beautiful and functional Interlock roof that is quiet when it rains and lets the water run off in rivulets into the eaves. We thank everyone at Interlock and hope to have a long and successful relationship with Interlock and our new roof.
We are very pleased with our new roof installed by Interlock Metal Roofing. The house looks beautiful, more than I imagined. You Paul Wright, as our salesman, are appreciated for all the information about the product and the no pressure approach you do. The installers were wonderful. They were great to work with—cleaned the area around the house each night. Our house was three days from start to finish …amazing to watch. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the product.
To Whom It May Concern: It is our pleasure to highly recommend Ross and Interlock Roofing for your next roofing project. Our roof was installed in August of 2017 it’s amazing the performance it provides to our home. The temperature indoors during the summer is cooler allowing energy savings, our Shake profile stands out with lasting beauty and durability. The installation crew is as great as the product they are polite and professional and went above our expectations they answered all our questions with no concerns. Our investment to have Interlock roof on our home gives us Peace of mind knowing for years to come we will never have to worry about our roof again. We would not hesitate to recommend Interlock Roofs and their awesome products to anyone looking for a new roof.
We just wanted to let you know how thoroughly-pleased we are with our new Interlock Roof. It is absolutely beautiful and we have had a lot of people stopping as they walk or drive by to admire how nice it looks. Everything progressed on the job exactly as you had shared with us when we signed the contract. There were no surprises. From the beginning when we got the call to set up a start date, to the final clean up and retrieval of the waste bin everything was handled so professionally. Viktor and Alex were a dream to work with-so-pleasant and each day everything was left so tidy that it would have been hard for guests to tell that we were in the middle of a re-roofing job. We will highly recommend your product and doing business with such a professional and obviously well run company.
What a substantial difference the Interlock aluminum roof has made to the appearance of my hundred year old house. The haunted house look changed instantly into desirable real estate. The people who sold me the house have said they wish they had asked more for it now! My previous roofer, who I have used for many years on five different roofs with excellent results; drove by and said he knew it was a good job. He also wanted to recommend Interlock roofing to another customer who wanted something better than composition roofing. The service was great, the sheet metal engineers were industrious, exacting workers, and there have been no problems with anything. It looks so solid and neat; I cannot describe it exactly, but I will never be happy with composition roofing again. The leaves slide right off so it is always clean, and shows off the gables and fancy lines of the house so well... I love it!

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Ayock
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Ayock, Washington. 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 Ayock.
Does metal roofing handle heavy snow and ice in Lewis County winters?
Yes. Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted for wind speeds up to 120 mph, and the lightweight design (Cedar Shingle at 0.41 lb/sq ft) eliminates snow load strain on your home's frame. Ayock receives about 33 cm of snow annually with roughly 16 freeze-thaw cycles per year—conditions that cause asphalt to crack and curl. Aluminum's oxide layer doesn't degrade in freeze-thaw, and the panels shed ice and snow efficiently due to their smooth, interlocked profiles. Optional snow guards can be added if extra retention is needed for safety.
Will a metal roof leak in Ayock's rainy climate?
No. Ayock averages 1362 mm of rainfall yearly, and Interlock's four-way interlocking panels create overlapping seams that shed water downward—the system is engineered to drain rather than collect. The panels install over solid decking with underlayment, which prevents water bypass at fasteners or seams. ESR-1790 code compliance confirms the design meets IRC/IBC leak requirements, and the Guardian Warranty covers perforation and water intrusion. Proper installation by our local team ensures flashing details handle the region's consistent rain without pooling or saturation risk.
Why choose aluminum roofing instead of steel if both are metal?
Aluminum cannot rust. Steel contains iron, which oxidizes in moisture; aluminum's oxide layer is passive and self-heals when scratched. With 1362 mm annual rainfall and frequent freeze-thaw cycles in Ayock, steel requires ongoing maintenance to prevent rust creep. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum (ASTM B209) with a dual-coat Alunar 70% PVDF finish applied to both panel sides—extra critical in our wet climate. The Guardian Warranty explicitly covers rusting. Aluminum installed in 1998 at Antarctic research stations and coastal salt-air homes proves durability; your roof won't develop the orange streaking or perforation that compromises steel over 20–30 years.
Can my house support a metal roof, or do I need structural upgrades?
No structural upgrades needed. Interlock's Shake profile weighs only 0.58 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or tile—so the load on your framing is negligible. Asphalt shingles weigh roughly 2–3 lb/sq ft; aluminum metal roofing actually reduces dead load. This means the system installs directly over most existing roofs without reinforcement, lowering labor costs and installation time. In Ayock's snow climate (33 cm annually), lighter roofing improves structural efficiency during freeze-thaw stress. ESR-1790 evaluation confirms installation over existing decks on standard residential framing; your roofer will inspect your deck during a site visit.
How much upkeep does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or tile?
Metal requires almost none. Asphalt shingles need moss removal, regular inspections for curl and loss, and repairs after hail or wind gusts (Ayock averages 90 km/h gusts). Concrete tile cracks in freeze-thaw cycles. Aluminum panels are CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance—no algae growth, no debris trapping, no sealant reapplication. Twice-yearly gutter cleaning is standard for any roof. The 30-year Alunar coating warranty (ASTM D4214/D2244 tested) means no color fading or chalking, so you won't repaint. With 2915 annual sunshine hours and natural rainfall, dirt rinses away. The Guardian Warranty covers splitting, cracking, and curling—problems that plague traditional materials in your freeze-thaw zone.
What's the actual lifespan of Interlock metal roofing and what does the warranty cover?
Interlock carries the Guardian Warranty—a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and impact loss. The warranty is one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years of coverage from completion. This is the only roof you'll install. Asphalt lasts 15–20 years and requires tear-off disposal (landfill waste); wood shakes split and rot within 20–25 years in Ayock's 1362 mm annual rainfall and 16 freeze-thaw days. Aluminum panels manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC show no degradation after 25+ years. No other roofing material covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches (UL 2218 Class 4) or 120 mph winds for the life of the home.
Does metal roofing save money on heating and cooling?
Metal roofing cuts cooling costs year-round. Interlock's energy-efficient colors reflect solar heat rather than absorb it—reflectance values up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity 0.84 cool your home in summer. Even in Ayock's moderate 11.6°C mean temperature, the 2915 annual sunshine hours mean reflective roofing reduces HVAC strain during warm months. Asphalt absorbs heat, raising attic temperatures 20–30°F above ambient—a penalty in summer and a burden on air conditioning. Cool Roof Rating Council certification proves the energy benefit. In winter, the same reflective surface won't prevent heat loss, but no roofing system does; the real advantage is summer comfort and lower cooling bills without added maintenance like coatings or sealants.
Will my metal roof blow off in Ayock's wind and gust conditions?
No. Interlock panels are warranted to withstand wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification. Ayock's typical winds average 16 km/h with gusts recorded to 90 km/h—well within that margin. The four-way interlocking design means each panel locks to its neighbors on all sides, creating a unified system rather than individual shingles. UL testing (UL 2218 Class 4 hail rating also demonstrates structural integrity) confirms uplift resistance. Asphalt shingles blow off at 60–80 mph and degrade faster in wind-driven rain. Our local Interlock installer has served the Pacific Northwest since 1997 and understands regional wind patterns; proper fastening and flashing technique ensures your roof stays put.
Is metal roofing worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Yes, over the life of your home. Asphalt costs $3–5 per square foot installed and lasts 15–20 years; you'll replace it 2–3 times. Metal costs more initially but lasts 50+ years with zero tear-off, no landfill disposal, and no maintenance bills. The Guardian Warranty is lifetime for you and transferable 50 years for the next owner—no other material matches that. Ayock's harsh climate (1362 mm rain, 33 cm snow, 16 freeze-thaw cycles) accelerates asphalt failure; your third roof will arrive while paying off the second. Energy savings from reflective coatings also offset costs in sunny periods. We're currently offering no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation—financing makes metal affordable upfront while you recoup value through longevity and avoided replacements.
Is metal roofing fire-safe for homes in Washington?
Absolutely. Interlock aluminum is non-combustible and achieves Class A fire classification (the highest available per ASTM and UL standards). Aluminum contains no wood fiber or petroleum binders; it cannot ignite or contribute fuel to a fire. ESR-1790 code compliance confirms suitability under IBC/IRC, and the ICC-ES report (reissued 2025) covers residential application throughout Washington. Asphalt shingles are Class C or lower and release flammable gases under high heat. In Ayock's wet climate with 2915 sunshine hours, wildfire risk varies by location, but metal roofing eliminates one variable from your home's defensibility. Combined with Class 4 hail impact rating, the system also resists wind-driven ember penetration better than traditional materials. Your home insurer may offer premium discounts for non-combustible roofing.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Ayock’s climate?
Yes. Ayock averages about 33 cm of snow, 1362 mm of rain, roughly 16 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 90 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.
