Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Irricana, 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:
Outstanding service and product! We had our roof replaced with Interlock Metal Roofing a few years ago and couldn't be happier with the results! Our energy bill dropped dramatically the very first summer as there was no need to run the air conditioner. The roof looks awesome and doubled our curb appeal. You cant go wrong with this product!
Just had my roof done here in Airdrie, Alberta and I couldn’t be happier knowing that I am fully protected from the Alberta weather, Tyler van Ellenberg was extremely knowledge on the Interlock product lines and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. If you are in the market for a roof and don’t want to have to worry about the future in my opinion Interlock is the way to go.
The clean up is the only thing. The project was a month and a half late.
After my last experience with Interlock I would not recommend the company to anyone. See "Additional Comments" This is the second "Interlock Roof" that we have had installed in the last 2 years due to Hail Damage. The first install went extremely well. The two fellows that installed it were professional and courteous. Except for the "construction" noise - which did not seem to be too bad - we didn't even know they were there. We were very happy with the roof.I am very disappointed in the second install. Firstly - we had Siding, Eaves Troughs and Fascia replaced prior to the roof install. We were told by Interlock that this should be done first as it would avoid anyone being on the roof after it was completed. The Eaves Troughs and Fascia were completed two weeks before your crew showed up and it looked perfect. After the roof install the Fascia had been damaged in several places. At all of the peaks it had looked like the fascia had been bent back and then put back in place - it look terrible. The fascia on the garage was all scratched up and the eaves trough on the garage was bent.The crew that came was not professional at all. They had a radio blaring on the roof and then on top of that the guys were yelling and singing at the tops of their voices as well as liberal use of the "F" Word - totally inappropriate for a residential setting. We brought by Father, who lived with me, home from the hospital on Friday, March 27. He was very ill and needed his rest. I asked the guys to turn the radio off and they did - the normal construction noise was not an issue. Over the course of 4 days I had to go out and ask them to turn it off 5 times - not sure what part of "My Father is very ill and needs rest" that they didn't understand. A radio blaring on the roof reverberates through the entire house. I emailed Interlock a letter on April 1, 2015 stating the above. I received a call from Rodney - Installation Manager?? - he should not be allowed to speak to customers. I said I would get a quote to have the Eaves Trough and Fascia replaced which I did. He said they would then reinspect the roof to ensure that none of the tiles were damaged by the Eaves Trough guys. I said I would not be paying until all the work was complete and they had inspected the roof. The work was completed on the Eaves Trough and Fascia on Friday May 15th. Rodney called on the morning of Tuesday May 19th looking for payment and threatening to Lien my Property (Monday was the Holiday) as he said the work had been completed over 30 days - I was not satisfied that the work was complete until all the damage had been repaired and that the roof had been inspected by Interlock - which happened on May 19th - after Rodney's call to me. If Rodney is dealing with Customer Service issues you have a big problem. After seeing the damage that the installation crew did to the Eaves/Fascia and thought that was OK, I have serious doubts about the quality of the work that they did on the roof. I am still picking up bits of metal from my yard. At no point has there been any apology from Interlock for any of this and frankly that would have gone a long way.
We were contacted by Colin James about checking out any hail damage. He came and recommended we put in an insurance claim to have the roof replaced. The insurance agreed to covering the roof and gave us the info. within a few days we received a call from Colin to see if we were going to go with interlock for replacement. I said we had to think about it as we really didn't have a chance to discuss what our options were. Colin offered us an upgrade if we went with interlock but he needed to asap as it was his year end. We felt pressured to make a hasty decision. The part I was most annoyed with was the call from Colin came at 10:45 p.m. and I was sound asleep as I had to go to work the next morning. He wanted an answer then and an email to confirm our decision. I had to get up and do that at 11:00 at night. A bit inconsiderate on his part about the time of day and the fact that we really hadn't had a chance to do any research about our other options.
Their customer service could be improved.
All of the confusion wasn't entirely their fault.
We read an ad in our local newspaper and it talked about the last roof we would ever put on our house guaranteed for 50 years. There was a phone number to call and we really needed to get a new roof as ours was 15 years old and there was no gravel left on the shingles. We called Interlock Roofing, we arranged a date to meet and discuss the application of his product. Within a few days Brad was here and we had a very pleasant and informative meeting with him. By the end of our meeting, we had decided this was the way we wanted to go. Brad said within about thirty days the material and installers would arrive and install the roof. The material arrived within about 15 days and about a month later our installer was on the roof. Jamie a very nice and polite man arrived and introduced himself, he explained what and how he would do the work. We talked daily with Jamie and he would update us on how it was going. They didn’t have to strip the old roof they put the new roof right on top of the old one, saving waste going into the landfill and it didn’t matter if it rained during the installation. It took Jamie about a week, he got rained out one and a half days. When he left at the end of the install there was no sign of him working here other then a new roof. Since the new roof has been installed we have noticed no damage and we have had three " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hail storms that damaged vehicles and siding on houses. I was amazed how the hail just bounced off the roof, and no piles of gravel at the bottom of our downspouts, and no shingles lifting off. The house temperature is more consistent it doesn’t get really warm or really cool it stays where we set it and is more comfortable then before. If you are thinking of replacing your roof you should consider investing in your house and protecting it with an interlock roofing system. I feel good knowing I will never replace our roof again , the material stands up to anything the Alberta weather dishes out and there is peace of mind knowing what you see is what you get today , tomorrow and in the future. The warranty is transferable and the roofing system will ad value to our house if we every were to sell, which I don’t think we will do as we live on an acreage and have the million dollar Mountain View. Brad has come back out to our home twice since the installation, just to make sure we are happy with the new roof. It’s nice to know that he cares even after the bill has been paid. Thanks to Jamie and Brad we have nothing to worry about, that a nice feeling when it comes to our home.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Irricana
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Irricana, 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 Irricana.
How does a metal roof handle Irricana's heavy snow load and freeze-thaw cycles?
Aluminum's smooth, hard surface naturally sheds snow and ice rather than trapping moisture like asphalt does. With about 94 cm of snow falling annually and roughly 116 freeze-thaw days per year, this matters: trapped snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, forming ice dams that damage gutters and cause leaks. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to 120 mph wind resistance, so snow slides safely without lifting seams. The lightweight design—Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft—means no structural worry even if snow accumulates temporarily.
Why is aluminum roofing better than steel for Alberta's climate?
Steel roofs rust because iron oxidizes; aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. Instead, aluminum develops a thin, self-healing oxide layer that protects it indefinitely. In Irricana's wet environment—averaging 358 mm of annual rainfall—this makes all the difference. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum (ASTM B209) with a Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both panel sides, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading. Steel would require constant rust maintenance; aluminum never will.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Metal roofing costs more initially, but asphalt shingles typically need replacement every 15–25 years, whereas Interlock's lifetime limited warranty covers the original owner permanently—and transfers 50 years to the next owner. Over a 50-year period in Irricana's 358 mm annual rainfall and ~3285 sunshine hours, you'll avoid multiple tear-offs, disposal fees, and two or three full re-roofing jobs. Current financing includes interest-free payments for 3 months and savings of at least $2499 on installation. It's the last roof you buy, not a temporary fix.
Can a metal roof really cut cooling costs in an Alberta home?
Yes—energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat rather than absorb it. Aged Copper Penny achieves initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning it bounces sunlight away instead of trapping heat like dark asphalt. In Irricana's 3285 annual sunshine hours, this compounds throughout summer months. Cool Roof Rating Council verification confirms the effect. Lighter-colored metal also reduces cooling-season load on air conditioning units, lowering energy bills over decades—especially in homes with cathedral ceilings or attics where heat buildup is severe.
What exactly does Interlock's warranty cover, and for how long?
Interlock's Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for you as the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance with no depreciation. When you sell, the warranty transfers once and remains in effect for 50 years from completion. Few roofing products offer this; most are prorated and expire after 20–30 years. In Irricana, where 116 annual freeze-thaw cycles and ~18 km/h mean winds with gusts to 110 km/h stress materials constantly, this protection is invaluable.
Does Interlock metal roofing perform well in hail, and could it lower my insurance?
Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Many insurers recognize this exceptional durability and offer premium discounts on homes with Class 4 metal roofs. Alberta's hail season poses real risk, so Class 4 protection backed by a transferable lifetime warranty is a competitive advantage. Before installing, contact your insurer to confirm discount eligibility; many homeowners recoup part of installation costs through lower premiums over 5–10 years.
Will metal roofing stay secure in Irricana's wind and gusts?
Irricana experiences typical daily-max winds around 18 km/h with gusts reaching 110 km/h, and Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist winds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. That's a 75 km/h safety margin beyond local extremes. The interlocking design locks panels together so wind cannot lift or separate them; there are no fasteners exposed to the weather. This engineering, verified in ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 (reissued 2025), ensures your roof performs reliably even during Calgary region windstorms.
Is metal roofing light enough to install over my existing roof without reinforcement?
Absolutely—Interlock's aluminum is extraordinarily light. The Mediterranean Tile profile installs at just 0.59 lb/sq ft, making it about 96% lighter than traditional clay or concrete tile. Cedar Shingle weighs only 0.41 lb/sq ft. This means no structural reinforcement is needed, and installation can proceed directly over most existing roofs, saving thousands in framing upgrades. In Irricana's climate with 94 cm of annual snow, the lightweight design handles temporary accumulation safely without putting stress on aging joists or trusses.
What roofing profiles does Interlock offer, and which suit traditional Alberta homes?
Interlock manufactures five architectural profiles: Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile. Each panel features four-way interlocking aluminum in roofing-grade alloy with dual-sided Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish. Cedar Shingle and Shake suit farmhouses and heritage properties common in the Irricana region; Slate fits contemporary or transitional homes; Standing Seam suits modern designs; Tile complements classical or Tuscan-inspired architecture. All profiles are manufactured in Delta, BC since 1998, installed from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations—proven across every climate extreme.
Does Interlock have a local installer serving Irricana and the Calgary region?
Yes—Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. has served the region since 1999 and specializes in Interlock installations throughout Metro Calgary and surrounding communities. Their 25+ years of local experience means familiarity with Irricana's specific climate challenges: 358 mm annual rainfall, 94 cm snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and variable winds. They handle permitting, installation over existing roofs, and warranty administration. Current regional promotion offers interest-free payments for 3 months and savings of at least $2499 on installation—a significant value when combined with the roof's lifetime transferable warranty.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Irricana’s climate?
Yes. Irricana averages about 94 cm of snow, 358 mm of rain, roughly 116 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 110 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.
