Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Fort Macleod, Alberta
| 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:

We love it! **Positive: **Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism **Services: **Roof installation, Roof repair for storm & wind damage
Awesome service and new roof that looked like it is now armour plated.
It was a pleasure working with the Interlock Roofing crew and staff. Not only did they finish the job in a timely manner but they completed the job almost two months earlier than was scheduled, allowing us to go on our scheduled vacation. Thank you Interlock Roofing for an excellent job!!!
I am very happy with the roof that was installed by Interlock. The workers were very nice and they finished the job with great quality. They were here bright and early in the morning when they started and it did not take them long to finish the roof. I recommend Interlock to everyone. It is a great company that does a great job.
Our first exposure to Interlock Roofing was when Brad knocked at the door, having been referred by a neighbour who knew we wanted a new roof. Brad explained in detail about the roof, about how it was priced, and when it would be done. Installation was done in March, as scheduled and took 7 1/2 days. Both workers were friendly, neat and professional having worked for Interlock for many years. They threw the old shakes directly into the bin, so there was no mess around the house and to ensure there would no problems later, they checked on the attic vents and cleared those partially blocked. We like the look and colour of the Interlock roof and it is admired by passer-by’s who often stop to ask about it. We have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
Today, the Interlock Roofing Installers have completed the installation of a great looking roof on our home. Later in the month of September, as I was standing on the deck of my home, enjoying the Autumn air, I noticed that one of my neighbours was having a new roof installed on their home. This roof definitely appeared to look much different than the ordinary asphalt shingles that are prevalent on most homes. So, I needed to get a closer look. As I came to the home where the roof was being installed, I thought, boy, this is really “extraordinary”……..and I liked what I had seen. I enquired of the installers to know more about the product, I was informed that I should leave my name and phone number, and a representative would contact me. Within a few days, I received a phone call from Brad (local Interlock representative) and an appointment was set, so we could be informed more about the product. Our roof at that time was asphalt shingles, which were beginning to curl in some areas (mainly the South side) of the roof. I knew that we’d be lucky if we could get about one more years wear, without replacing the roof. The job was professionally completed by Interlock Roofing trained installers. There’s no doubt in my mind but what the value of our property has risen considerably, however, we are anticipating enjoying our home for many years to come. At this point, it’s too early to notice any changes to our home………except the roof certainly helps to enhance the beauty of our home. We have already had some very positive comments from some of our neighbours. If you might be considering a new roof on your home, I would truly recommend that you listen to Mr. Reagh……..he really knows all there is to know about roofing. Mr. Reagh is representing the best roofing product that’s on the market today. I really wanted the best roof installed because I didn’t want to be having to redo my roof again in a few years. We now have peace of mind, in knowing that we have the best roof that’s available.
The Interlock Roofing System was delivered and installed on time in spite of a delay in startup due to rain and another day delay due to rain after half the roof was done. The crew was courteous and friendly and cleaned up at the end of every day. I was very satisfied that the place was left tidy and clean after final cleanup. I recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone wanting an impressive nice looking roof.
To anyone interested in purchasing the Interlock roof system, it will be the best purchase you ever make. We have already noticed a difference in my house temperature. The workers were very polite and courteous. Brad came by a couple of times to make sure everything was good. We would recommend this company to anyone looking for a new permanent, maintenance-free roof.
Recently my wife and I came to the conclusion that we really could not put off replacing our roof much longer and so we started researching materials and costs. During the time we were doing our research we ran across INTERLOCK representative, Brad, at the Lethbridge Home and Garden Show at which he explained the INTERLOCK ROOFING SYSTEM TO US. We were impressed with what Brad had to say and consequently, we invited him to our house to have a look at the problem and give us an idea of what it would cost to have our roof done. After talking with Brad the second time, we both decided that the advantages of this roof far outweighed the fact that it was going to cost more than an asphalt shingle roof. How do you say no to a 50-year warranty? Well, now our new roof is on the house we both feel it was one of our better decision regarding our home. The roof looks beautiful. The entire process was very straightforward and painless. People showed up when they said they would show up, the installer was an absolute professional, Brad kept track of the entire process and there were no hidden charges. We have already had a Realtor inform us that the new roof will definitely increase the value of our house. In short, I would strongly recommend that anyone in need of a new roof give very serious consideration to Brad and the INTERLOCK roofing system. We have been extremely impressed with the integrity and professionalism of the installer. First Class! From our first conversation with Brad through the completion of our new roof, we have had a high level of confidence in INTERLOCK, their roof system, and most importantly, their people!
We moved to Coaldale in July of 2004 from Medicine Hat and knew that the roof would need to be replaced in the next year or so. We had seen Interlock at the Home and garden show in Medicine Hat in 2003 & 2004. We also looked at two of the houses that Interlock had done in Medicine Hat. We got Brad to come to our house at our convenience to give us the whole demonstration. After comparing cost, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty, value, weight, and looks of the Interlock compared to asphalt, and tiles, we decided on Interlock. You’re probably asking yourself, why Interlock? We liked the idea of never having to replace the roof again, the lifetime (transferable) warranty, we absolutely love the aged " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper colour that we chose. Installation took four days that is for a thousand square foot home and a double car garage. The installer was friendly and courteous. When I had to make the decision of taking the gutters off or leaving them on, he explained all the pros and cons, so I could make my decision. He cleaned up after each day was done, and at the end he hauled all the garbage to the dump. The financing with Interlock was done without headaches. All we had to do was fax a few papers to the bank and everything was done. Considering that the installation was done while my husband was out of town, I felt at ease during the whole process. I would recommend Interlock to anyone with hesitation.
I live about 13 miles southwest of Cardston, Alberta. This summer I had an “Interlock” roof installed. The fellas doing the work came prepared, worked quickly, cleaned up and hauled away the refuse. They were very professional. Although we haven’t yet experienced heavy rain, the roof seems no louder in a rainstorm than the asphalt roof. I have and would recommend this roofing to others.
Our experience with Interlock Roofing has been a positive one. Our salesman, Brad, was friendly, outgoing, and came through on all of his promises. The roof installers were friendly and hardworking. Our new roof looks great and we are pleased with the results. We would recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Fort Macleod
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Fort Macleod, Alberta. 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 Fort Macleod.
How does a metal roof handle Fort Macleod's 100 cm of snow each winter?
Aluminum metal roofing sheds snow efficiently because its smooth, hard surface doesn't trap moisture the way asphalt does—preventing the ice dam formation that can damage gutters and ceilings. Fort Macleod's ~103 annual freeze-thaw cycles make this critical: each thaw releases meltwater, and metal's thermal conductivity helps it drain faster than shingles. The four-way interlocking panels stay locked tight through snow load shifts, and optional snow guards are available if you want to control sliding snow for safety.
Will freeze-thaw cycles in Alberta damage an aluminum metal roof?
No. Aluminum's oxide layer naturally self-heals when exposed to air, so the ~103 annual freeze-thaw days in Fort Macleod pose no degradation risk. By contrast, asphalt absorbs moisture during the 269 mm of annual rainfall, then cracks when it freezes and expands. The Alunar® 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating on both panel sides (warranted 30 years against chalking) creates an additional vapor barrier, protecting the substrate across countless seasonal temperature swings.
Can a metal roof survive Fort Macleod's wind gusts up to 125 km/h?
Yes—the four-way interlocking panels are engineered and warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification, which exceeds your region's recorded gusts. The interlocking design means panels lock to each other on all four edges, distributing wind load across the entire roof plane rather than concentrating stress on fasteners. With Fort Macleod's typical daily-max winds around 21 km/h, you have a substantial safety margin built in.
What hail protection does Interlock Metal Roofing offer in Alberta?
The product carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty specifically covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Many insurers recognize this resilience and offer premium discounts for metal roofs; you should contact your provider to discuss your potential savings. Aluminum's non-combustibility (Class A fire rating available under ICC-ES ESR-1790) may also qualify you for additional credits depending on your policy.
Why doesn't an aluminum roof rust like a steel roof would?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that corrodes in steel. Instead, aluminum develops a thin, self-healing oxide layer when exposed to air. This is especially valuable in regions with seasonal moisture: Fort Macleod's ~269 mm annual rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles create conditions where steel or untreated wood roofing would deteriorate, but aluminum remains stable. The Alunar® coating (70% PVDF fluorocarbon, applied to both sides) adds 30 years of additional protection against environmental exposure.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for a metal tile roof?
No reinforcement is necessary. The Interlock Mediterranean Tile profile weighs only ~0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so it installs directly over most existing roofs without structural upgrades. Compare this to asphalt shingles (which require decking and underlayment beneath them): aluminum's light weight means you avoid costly framing work and can often reroof without tearing off your old shingles, reducing waste and labor time.
Will a metal roof help reduce cooling costs in sunny Alberta summers?
Yes. energy-efficient colors offer thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55, meaning they reflect heat rather than absorb it the way dark asphalt does. Fort Macleod receives about 3415 annual sunshine hours—plenty of solar gain—and metal's reflective coating works year-round to reduce the heat that penetrates your attic. This cuts air-conditioning demand and keeps interior temperatures more stable across the city's 15+ degree daily temperature swings.
How much maintenance does an Interlock metal roof require?
Virtually none. Unlike asphalt (which develops granule loss and brittleness), wood shake (which splits and rots), or clay tile (which cracks), aluminum requires no annual cleaning, sealing, or repairs—the Alunar® finish and metal substrate are self-renewing. Fort Macleod's 100 cm of snow and 269 mm of rain simply shed off; occasional gutter cleaning is all most owners do. The CALGreen-verified design reduces maintenance obligations, freeing your time and budget for other home priorities.
What warranty backs an Interlock metal roof in Alberta?
The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—covering rust, rot, splitting, cracking, curling, and impact damage. It transfers once to the next owner for a 50-year term, adding resale appeal and peace of mind across decades. Manufactured continuously since 1998 in Delta, BC, and installed from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctica, these roofs have proven durability in every climate. For Fort Macleod's freeze-thaw and wind conditions, you're buying the last roof you'll need to install.
Is aluminum roofing better for the environment than asphalt shingles?
Yes. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, breaking the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle that costs Fort Macleod homeowners thousands in disposal fees and labor every 20–25 years. Metal roofing often installs directly over existing shingles, eliminating one tear-off and its associated waste. Over a 50+ year lifespan with zero maintenance, one aluminum roof replaces 2–3 asphalt installations, dramatically reducing your home's environmental footprint while saving money.
