Mark Vance is Vice President of Marketing at Interlock Metal Roofing (Interlock Roofing Ltd., Delta, BC). He is the named reviewer for the site’s technical content: repair and maintenance guidance, product specifications and certification summaries, and glossary definitions. Each review checks the page against Interlock’s installation manuals, third-party test reports and warranty terms before it is published.
What a technical review checks
- Specifications match the source documents. Alloy, gauge, coating, ratings and warranty terms are checked against Interlock’s current product data sheets and the Guardian Lifetime Limited Warranty.
- Certifications are cited exactly. ESR-1790, UL 2218 Class 4, FL7263-R7, CCMC 10475-R and CRRC listings are quoted as issued, with the issuing body linked from the page.
- Repair and maintenance guidance is installer-safe. Steps are consistent with the installation manual; anything that would void the warranty is stated as such.
- Numbers carry their basis. Costs, lifespans and energy figures state the assumption or source they come from and the date they were last checked.
- Dates are honest. “Last reviewed” is set only when the review actually happened; untouched pages carry no new date.
