Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Red Deer, 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:
After the third "once-in-a-century" hailstorm in five years, I finally traded in my crumbling asphalt shingles for an Interlock Metal Roof, and it is easily the best investment I’ve made for my home. If you're on the fence about the cost, here is why it’s worth every penny: 1. Incredible Curb Appeal I was worried a metal roof would look like a barn or a commercial warehouse. I couldn't have been more wrong. The "Slate" profile looks remarkably authentic. From the street, you’d never guess it’s metal. It just looks like a high-end, luxury roof that stays looking brand new. 2. Built Like a Tank Since the installation, we’ve had high winds and heavy rain that used to make me lose sleep. Now? I barely notice. The interlocking system feels incredibly secure, and knowing it has a Class 4 hail rating and a lifetime limited warranty provides a level of peace of mind that asphalt simply can't offer. 3. Energy Efficiency I noticed a difference in my AC bill almost immediately. The reflective coating does a fantastic job of keeping the attic cool during the peak of summer. It’s one of those rare upgrades that actually pays you back over time. 4. Professional Installation The crew was meticulous. Because it’s an interlocking system, the precision required is much higher than standard roofing. They were fast, clean, and the finished product is seamless. Bottom Line: It is a "one-and-done" solution. If you plan on staying in your home for more than a decade, stop patching your old roof and just get an Interlock. It’s beautiful, indestructible, and eco-friendly.
Great product, looks awesome lots of compliments on it. Great experience from the sales team to the installation team. Would definitely recommend this product.
Our experience from meeting the sales representative at the Red Deer Home Show to the completion of the installation was very positive. The installers showed up at our home and worked long hours to complete the installation in 3 days. They were very respectful and considerate of us. Each night, they cleaned up the worksite and hauled away the debris. Even our neighbours commented on how efficient they worked and how tidy they were. The roof looks amazing and people stop us to ask about the product. We would highly recommend this company.
I like the roof. What I do not like is the cost of it either. That is why they do not get a full rating. It is very expensive. Upon recommending it to a friend, I would suggest they look around as well. Again, it kind of falls back to that third party. If they had their own employees, they would not be so rushed. These guys I had were professional. They've done a lot of it, so they tore into it with long days. Being in the type of construction, I know that when it's a third-party and they only get paid for so much, their incentive is to get the job done, and getting the job done means they have to stay on time. That was the thing that surprised me. Their incentive is to get the job done quickly. The sooner they get it done, the more money they make. What I found surprising was that, with a big company like that, they did not show up with much in their toolbelt. I thought they would show up with a trailer. I was surprised to see they showed up with a truck and a tool belt. They did have a garbage trailer, and they had a trailer to bring in supplies. I was a little surprised that, being it is a third-party, those guys are not going to bring that stuff in as it is just the bare minimum. They basically had the bare minimum of tools. With the number of nails, I have a nail sweeper and I did not have it there. It was at a relative's, and it was better quality. I asked them if they could pick up the nails. They must have gone to a rinky-dink place and bought a really cheap one as it was falling apart. The clean up was 100%. It was pretty good, but not 100%. I still need to reach out to Interlock to see when they are going to come back out and fix that roof leak. I checked all the others and they are not leaking, so I am happy that it was not that big of a leak. It is a simple job for them to fix. If it was one of the other roofs, they would have to rip it all off. It is actually a cheap fix. I never heard back from the foreman on that with Interlock. I had to phone the salesman who told me all that. He was not in and phoned me back the next week. I had gone to work and I was busy, so I never returned his call. It had slipped my mind until now. I am not at home. I need to reach out to see when they are going to fix the roof that they guarantee. On the ground, the clean up was pretty good. My wife came to see me at work and she had a nail in her tire. The tire kept going flat. I highly suspect it was from my own driveway. She drove it to work, so there are still some out there floating around. But finding nails is to be expected with such a big roofing job. Things I cannot see from the ground, like the eavestroughs, weren't cleaned out all the way. They missed some. They cleaned one really well, but yet they still missed some. They worked their way down and then did not bother going back up at the end to do a final check. Another thing I would like to mention is that some of the flashing they bent, they left bent and wrinkly. I was not happy with that. I mentioned it to them and they did not replace it. They used my old flashing and just left it bent. I had to hire someone else to come and fix that. They should have fixed that for the price they charge. Obviously, they are not coming back to fix whatever for however long. My comments are that it was absolutely wonderful, and that is a false statement. I am going to have negative feedback and maybe if they had known that, they would have kicked it into gear.
Other than an office error at the beginning of our process, the whole procedure was effortless. The install was quick and well done. End result looks awesome Clerical errors We have had many comments and questions. All positive
No follow up once installation was completed, message left for shauna to call us back and never did. No post install inspection etc. Quality of materials etc seems good but have only had roof couple months.Bit disappointed with lack of follow up, only contact was to remind us to complete payment process and to complete survey. No post job inspection to confirm done to spec etc, messages not returned. Some concern with bottom drip flashing and possible mismatched colour on shingle, bent shingle, etc
No More communication requarding if they were going to be later, and the right amount of product because they ran out twice. I did have a call from someone he must have been a manager he did ask what they could do to sort things out, he said I could have a $500.00 refund. That was nice of him.
I think the project was done very well. I can't think of an area they could have improved on.
The job is good and was done well.
There has been zero contact and I tried to contact salesman and left a message; he did not return my call. They have not picked up the interlock sign yet either Salesman is weak
I thing Interlock is really good, but it's sometimes not in the budget because it's expensive to do. This is why we chose another company.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Red Deer
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Red Deer, 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 Red Deer.
Will a metal roof handle Red Deer's 104 cm of snow without ice dams?
Yes. Aluminum panels shed snow and ice far better than asphalt because the smooth interlocking surface offers no catch-points for buildup. Red Deer averages about 104 cm of snow annually with roughly 110 freeze-thaw cycles per year, creating ideal conditions for ice dams on conventional roofs. The four-way interlocking design and flat-lying panels prevent water from pooling at seams. If you want extra insurance in heavy snow years, snow guards are available and install easily to the standing seam profiles.
Can aluminum roofing survive Red Deer's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking?
Absolutely. With about 110 freeze-thaw days per year, your roof needs a material that won't degrade from repeated expansion and contraction. Aluminum expands and contracts uniformly without cracking, splitting, or cupping like wood shingles or asphalt do. The 3105-H24 alloy's flexibility handles temperature swings without fatigue. The Alunar PVDF coating, warranted 30 years against cracking and chalking (ASTM D4214), is designed specifically for climates with this kind of cycling intensity. You're looking at a roof that actually improves with age in freeze-thaw zones.
How does Interlock metal roofing hold up in Red Deer's wind and gusts?
The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph—well above Red Deer's typical gusts of 92 km/h. Because each panel locks into its neighbors on all four sides, there's no seam separation or uplift under pressure. Your roof stays in place even during the strongest seasonal gales. The lightweight design (Shingle profile at 0.41 lb/sq ft) means less stress on fasteners and attachment points than heavy alternatives, so wind resistance actually improves with aluminum's properties. Installation to spec ensures that warranty holds.
Why won't an aluminum roof rust like steel roofing can?
Aluminum contains no iron, so it physically cannot rust. Steel rusting is an oxidation process that destroys the material from within; aluminum oxidizes once, forms a microscopic protective oxide layer, and stops. If that layer scratches—say from installation or debris—it self-heals in days. Red Deer's 425 mm of annual rainfall won't corrode aluminum. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish applied to both sides adds another 30-year warranty barrier against weathering. You're buying a material that stays intact whether the climate brings salt spray or repeated wet-freeze cycles.
What's the hail rating on Interlock, and will it affect 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. This exceptional durability can qualify you for homeowner's insurance discounts in hail-prone zones. Red Deer's 3200+ annual sunshine hours mean hail events are less frequent than in southern Alberta, but when they do occur, Class 4 aluminum takes the hit without losing integrity or requiring repairs. Some insurers recognize this and adjust premiums accordingly. Worth asking your broker once the roof is installed.
Can I install metal tile roofing over my existing roof without reinforcing the structure?
Yes, because aluminum is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. The Mediterranean Tile profile installs at roughly 0.59 lb/sq ft—light enough to go directly over asphalt or wood shingles on most homes without structural upgrades. This matters in Red Deer, where roofing contractors often find older homes with modest rafter systems. Installing over existing roof saves tear-off labor and landfill fees, cutting months from the timeline and reducing costs. The ICC-ES ESR-1790 evaluation (reissued 2025) covers installations over approved existing roofs, so your contractor can confirm your specific home.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood?
Essentially none—that's the point. Asphalt shingles need regular inspection and replacement every 15-20 years; wood shakes split, curl, and demand constant upkeep in freeze-thaw climates; clay tiles crack and need repointing. Aluminum won't split, rot, or require refinishing. With 104 cm of snow annually and 425 mm of rain, your roof just sheds water and snow naturally; gutters and downspouts do their job without the roof deteriorating. The CALGreen building standard recognizes aluminum roofing as reduced-maintenance. Most owners simply rinse debris off once a year. The Guardian lifetime warranty covers material failure—you're buying peace of mind, not an ongoing maintenance contract.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost if I'm staying in Red Deer long-term?
For a permanent resident, it's the last roof you'll buy. An asphalt roof costs less initially but replaces every 15-20 years; over 50 years, that's three or four new roofs, each including labor, disposal, and disruption. Interlock's lifetime limited warranty (non-prorated for the original owner) means one installation, one price, done. Red Deer's freeze-thaw cycling and moderate snow load don't stress aluminum—conditions favor durability and long intervals between maintenance. The Guardian Warranty is transferable for 50 years from completion, protecting your investment and adding resale appeal. Current financing—interest-free for three months with at least $2,499 in savings—improves the upfront picture significantly.
Will a metal roof cut my cooling costs in Red Deer's climate?
Yes, if you choose an energy-efficient color. These are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council with thermal emissivity up to 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny), reflecting heat that dark asphalt absorbs. Red Deer averages about 3,214 sunshine hours annually—enough for reflective roofing to meaningfully lower cooling loads on hot days. The savings are modest in a climate with only ~3.5°C mean temperature, but they compound over decades. More importantly, reflective coatings reduce thermal cycling stress on the roof itself, supporting durability in freeze-thaw zones. Choosing energy-efficiency colors costs nothing extra and adds comfort and efficiency without heating penalties.
