Calgary Metal Roofing That Turns Heads: A Beautiful, Durable Upgrade 25 Years in the Making
A Roof That Changed the Way the Neighborhood Looks at Homeownership
From Hesitation to Admiration
(A Cautionary Tale Turned Case Study)
They always liked the look of a tin roof. But… what if it was too shiny?
Too cold.
Too industrial.
And then they found it — at the Calgary Home Show, no less.
Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate Shingles.
Not shiny. Not basic. Definitely not temporary.
Something that felt tailored. Considered. Permanent.
We have always been very interested in a tin roof but were worried it may be too shiny for our home. After thorough research we saw the Interlock product at a home show & became immediately interested in the different styles & colour choices.
It started with a visit from Tyler. He mapped the roofline, imagined the slate profile against the peaks of the home, and guided them — not just to a product, but to a decision they could feel good about forever.
We set up an appointment in our home with Tyler to have Interlock view our roof line to make sure the slate style look would work. The product is strong, lightweight, tough, durable & comes with a 50-year transferable warranty.
A Roof That Matches the Mountain Air
From their street, you’re less than 30 minutes to Kananaskis Country and just a stone’s throw from the Foothills of the Rockies.
This is where the chinooks sweep in. Where hailstones the size of golf balls test your patience and your insurance.
Where homes don’t just need protection — they need performance.
This roof?
It didn’t flinch.
Not at hail.
Not at fire.
Not at wind.
Not at time.
It’s solar-ready, energy-efficient, and fully interlocked in four directions — like puzzle pieces built to resist the chaos of a Calgary storm.
And Then… Something Beautiful Happened
Now that our roof is complete (Wow) thanks to the professional installation by Alexis, the neighbourhood is abuzz with questions & compliments. It’s beautiful!!! & the Interlock slate style compliments our home.
That’s it, isn’t it?
A new roof, sure. But also — a ripple effect.
Neighbors talking.
Heads turning.
Driveway conversations happening under those long summer sunsets.

FAQs for Homeowners Looking for Metal Roofing in Calgary
How does metal roofing hold up against Calgary’s extreme weather?
Calgary experiences severe hailstorms, high winds, heavy snowfall, and drastic temperature changes. Unlike asphalt shingles that can crack, warp, or blow away in strong storms, metal roofing is engineered to withstand these conditions.
- ✅ Hail Resistance: Metal roofs, especially those made from heavy-gauge aluminum, resist impact damage better than asphalt shingles. While extreme hail may dent the surface, the structural integrity remains intact.
- ✅ High-Wind Performance: Interlock Metal Roofing features a 4-way interlocking design, preventing wind uplift in storms exceeding 120 mph (193 km/h).
- ✅ Temperature Adaptability: Unlike shingles that expand and contract with temperature shifts, metal roofing maintains its form in Calgary’s Chinook winds and deep freezes.
Will a metal roof help lower my energy bills in Calgary?
Yes! Metal roofs are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional roofing materials.
- ✅ Reflects Heat in Summer: Interlock Metal Roofing has a high solar reflectance, preventing heat absorption and keeping your home cooler. This reduces air conditioning costs in the summer.
- ✅ Insulating in Winter: Metal roofing retains indoor heat better, reducing energy waste and keeping your home warmer during frigid Alberta winters.
- ✅ Compatible with Solar Panels: Homeowners interested in solar energy can easily install solar panels on metal roofing, maximizing energy efficiency and potential savings.
Does metal roofing help with home insurance savings?
Many insurance companies offer discounts on home insurance for metal roofing due to its durability and Class A Fire Rating.
- ✅ Lower Fire Risk: Metal roofs do not ignite from flying embers, making them a safer choice in fire-prone areas.
- ✅ Reduced Storm Damage Risk: Insurance providers recognize that metal roofs are less prone to damage, lowering claims over time.
- ✅ Longer Lifespan = Fewer Claims: A metal roof typically lasts 50+ years, reducing the likelihood of replacement or repairs compared to asphalt shingles.
💡 Pro Tip: Always check with your insurance provider for potential savings after upgrading to a metal roof!
How long does a metal roof last compared to asphalt shingles?
Metal roofing is a lifetime investment, while asphalt shingles need replacement every 10-15 years in Calgary’s climate.
- ✅ Interlock Metal Roofing comes with a Lifetime Warranty, meaning you’ll never have to re-roof again.
- ✅ Asphalt shingles degrade quickly due to UV exposure, hail impact, and high winds, requiring multiple replacements over time.
- ✅ The total cost of ownership for metal roofing is lower in the long run, as it eliminates constant repairs and replacements.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains or hails?
A common misconception is that metal roofing is noisy, but that’s not true with a proper installation.
- ✅ Interlock Metal Roofing includes a solid underlayment that absorbs sound, reducing noise levels similar to asphalt shingles.
- ✅ Attic insulation further dampens noise, ensuring a quiet and comfortable home even during heavy rain or hailstorms.
