Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for French Creek, British Columbia
| 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:
To Whom It May Concern: On November 15-19th, your Lifetime Roofing System was installed of which we are very pleased with. Nick and Dave, the two men who installed our roof, we found them to be very courteous and hard working, polite and ready and willing to answer any questions or concerns we may have had. We would also like to praise them for their diligence, arriving before 8:00am., working untl well after dark each evening. We feel that Nick and Dave are a very valuable asset to your company, and would highly recommend them to anyone for their workmanship.
From the time I made the decision, to select Interlock as the successful roofing company, I have been extremely satisfied. The customer service has need excellent, regardless of whether it was administration, schedulers or the sale representative. The 4-5 man crew worked hard and long hours, under very hot conditions. Under the supervision of Antonio, a man with extensive experience and thoroughness, the project advanced quickly. One thing that demonstrated this was the focus on keeping the site clean and free of materials and nails and fasteners. Upon completion, my neighbours were echoing my own observation; if a roof could be beautiful, this one met that standard. People walking the public trail, have stopped to take pictures, and ask questions. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very happy with the end product result and installation. I did have some minor concerns that were dealt with quickly and affectively. Thank you
Our son, who builds high end homes on Vancouver Island, had seen Interlock roofs in the course of his work and recommended that we look into this company when the time came to replace our aging roof. We were impressed with the immediate response we got from the company when contacted and the speed with which the project came to life. The reps who visited our home showed us all of the various colours and styles available, explained the installation process, and were very personable as well as totally professional. Installation took place just before Christmas which is not usually considered roofing weather, but since the old roof remained in place work moved along at a good pace and our hard working team was done in just over three days. Absolutely no mess was created. Now we are the envy of the neighbourhood and we never have to think about roofing again. When we do have to sell (and we hope this is a long ways down life’s road) the transferable " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty will certainly be working for us. Thanks, Interlock! Here are the before and after. Fabulous, no? We still can’t look directly at it. Sooooo beautiful!
To Whom It May Concern: I first encountered Ted Rector at the Nanaimo Home Show in 1999. I quickly made an appointment and consequently bought my first Interlock roof. We absolutely loved the roof! Not to mention the installation was first rate and the look was superb! Although I thought we would be in that home for several more years, we found a home with an ocean view that I couldn’t resist. We sold and made an excellent profit, partially due to the transferable and lifetime " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty on the roof. Our next home needed the attention to detail immediately from Ted. Our new home in Lantzville when viewed from the road was all roof. And boy did it need a new one! We actually purchased the home knowing that it would be our first priority. But we knew the best representative and the best material for our problem. Ted suggested the " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper “tile look”. A little more expensive, but let me tell you, it was well worth it. Our home became a showpiece! And the value soared. No more unsightly tar and gravel on a low roof. No moss! No maintenance! Just pure beauty and the knowledge that we had once again gained the best on the market. Unfortunately, what we thought would be our final home was sold when we had to move my mother-in-law in with us and needed a bigger house. However, we sold that house with a huge profit that aside from the view was mainly due to the value and warranties on the roof. Our new home will need a new roof in the next few years and I won’t have to shop around. An Interlock roof will definitely be installed. Interlock Roofing has been in business for years and Ted knows his business like no-one else. I found the best and now you have too. I cannot recommend Ted or Interlock highly enough.
Our family had Interlock installed on a house 40 years ago and it looks great today. I just had slate black installed in 2024 on a different house for a great look and reduced maintenance.
When I decided I was gonna get a new roof, I knew it was going to be a metal roof. Meeting Randal at an outdoor show made it easier to start the process. He is both friendly and professional. The quote was straightforward. I got to see pictures of other houses and colors, and samples were brought. So that I could look at everything. Todd let me know when the people were going start. Vlad contacted me to ask if they could start Saturday and he answered all my questions. They worked fast and cleaned up everyday. Very nice people. Britt in administration was great. She was very helpful. Oh and my roof is beautiful. I had to take a picture of the snow guard. It nice to know I don't have to think about doing my roof again. I would highly recommend Interlock.
Replaced my roof on a few days, looks awesome. Great crew from vlad and his team.
The install team were great and were able to work around my schedule so that I didn't have to take any extra time off work.
Dear Interlock: We first saw this house just over a year ago we fell in love with it. At the time we realized the original roof, first growth cedar shakes, was due for replacement so we went hunting for some suitable material. When we saw the Interlock roof we sensed it had what was necessary to protect the house as well as compliment its character. Once we saw the results we knew we chose well. Once we started staying in the house we noticed when it rained there was an extra volume of water coming down the valleys where two main roofs came together. It was a small flaw perhaps in the original design but something which required a little ingenuity to remedy. Your installer Antonio managed to drop by just before Christmas to fix another small problem and fortunately a solution for the valley deluge. He managed to do just that a few days after Christmas on his way back up Island. It looks like his remedy is working. I guess time will tell if it lasts as long as the roof. Either way we would like to commend his efforts and thank you all for a job well done.
There are two reasons for this letter to you. First, both my wife and I wish to express our satisfaction with your roofing product. We are extremely pleased with the completed result and the enhancement to our home. Second, we wish to take this opportunity to commend your roof installer Mr. Larry Koster he is the kind of exceptional employee that any employer would be fortunate to have working for him. He persevered in spite of extreme adverse weather conditions, which included, rain, sleet, snow, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hail, wind and cold, in order to complete the job. He is to be congratulated for being such a conscientious efficient tradesman.
This letter regards the installation of a new roof on our house using your products. First of all, we are extremely pleased with your product. We would be happy to recommend it as an excellent product. Next, I would like to commend you on your choice of an installer for our new roof. I do not think you could have chosen a better installer. From the very first day on the job, it was obvious that Mr. Ritter was a highly competent tradesperson. He pointed out many errors that had been made on the original roofing system. In addition he advised us on the necessary corrective measures. In my estimation he went beyond the call of duty to perform an excellent job. I feel you company should be very pleased to have a craftsman with such a good sense of responsibility, desire and ability to do an excellent job. Once again, we are extremely pleased with your product and the workmanship of Mr. Ritter.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in French Creek
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in French Creek, British Columbia. 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 French Creek.
Can I get a metal roof that looks like slate, cedar shake, or tile without the weight problems?
Yes. Interlock offers five profiles—Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile—each cast from roofing-grade aluminum to match those traditional looks precisely. The Tile profile, for example, weighs just 0.59 lb/sq ft, making it about 96% lighter than real concrete or clay tile. On Vancouver Island's wet climate with 1453 mm of annual rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles that can stress heavy materials, that lightweight aluminum installs directly over your existing roof without structural reinforcement. You get the aesthetic you want and the durability aluminum provides.
Why choose aluminum roofing over steel in a coastal British Columbia climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron; instead, it forms a self-healing oxide layer that protects it even when scratched. Steel, by contrast, will oxidize and corrode, especially in salty or damp air. On Vancouver Island, where your home faces salt-air exposure and 1453 mm of rain annually, this difference matters enormously. Interlock panels are coated on both sides with Alunar® 70% PVDF fluorocarbon (warranted 30 years against chalking and fading), adding a second shield. The result is a roof that won't degrade from moisture or mineral exposure—giving you genuine peace of mind for decades.
How does a metal roof handle French Creek's winter snow and ice buildup?
With about 57 cm of snow per year and roughly 24 freeze-thaw days annually, your roof needs surfaces that neither absorb moisture nor become brittle in freeze cycles. Aluminum is inert—it won't absorb water, swell, or crack from temperature swings the way wood shingles or asphalt do. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels shed snow and ice efficiently and can be fitted with snow guards where desired. The smooth, rigid aluminum profile resists the internal stresses that cause ice dams; standing water and meltwater drain predictably. Over Vancouver Island's typical winter pattern, you'll see fewer callbacks for ice-related leaks than with traditional materials.
Will my metal roof stay secure in Vancouver Island's wind gusts?
French Creek experiences typical daily winds around 17 km/h with gusts reaching about 98 km/h—well within the range your Interlock roof is designed to handle. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. That means gusts in your region have a safety margin built in. The panels interlock tightly, distributing wind load across the entire roof rather than relying on fasteners alone. Combined with proper installation by Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd.—serving this area since 1983—your roof will remain secure through typical Island storm seasons.
Can a metal roof keep my home dry with 1450+ mm of annual rainfall?
Metal roofs excel in heavy rain. Aluminum is non-porous and sheds water instantly; it doesn't absorb, swell, or degrade under constant moisture like asphalt or wood. French Creek averages 1453 mm of rain yearly, and Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are engineered to channel that volume efficiently off your home. The seams are sealed and overlap in a way that prevents water from working upward; standing water doesn't persist on aluminum the way it does on flat surfaces. With proper underlayment and installation, you'll experience the same water-tightness as any premium roof—but without the degradation that comes from years of moisture absorption in other materials.
Will a metal roof help lower my heating and cooling costs on Vancouver Island?
While French Creek's mean temperature of 10.4°C means heating dominates your annual costs, reflective coatings still matter. Interlock's energy-efficient colors achieve solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84—meaning they reflect summer heat that asphalt absorbs, reducing cooling loads when temperatures rise. Over 2980 annual sunshine hours, that reflection prevents heat from being absorbed into your home's interior. In shoulder seasons and occasional warm spells, this reflectivity keeps attic temperatures lower, reducing the burden on your HVAC system. The coating is warranted 30 years, so the reflective benefit persists across the roof's life.
Do I need to reinforce my house structure for a metal roof?
No. Interlock metal roofing is extraordinarily light—the Cedar Shingle profile installs at about 0.41 lb/sq ft, and even the heavier Shake and Tile profiles come in at roughly 0.58–0.59 lb/sq ft. Most homes' framing already supports this load with room to spare. Because aluminum weighs about 96% less than concrete or clay tile, no structural modifications are required. This also means Interlock installs directly over most existing roofs, eliminating costly tear-off labor and the landfill impact of old shingles. Your home's structure is ready as-is, and installation is faster and cleaner than traditional re-roofing—a genuine advantage in Vancouver Island's damp season when you want the job done quickly.
What warranty does Interlock offer, and will it transfer to a future owner?
The Guardian Warranty is lifetime limited and non-prorated for the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It transfers once to the next owner, who receives 50 years of coverage from completion. This one-time transfer is a genuine selling point if you decide to move, as it signals to buyers that your roof is backed by a company that's been manufacturing in Delta, BC since 1998 and stands behind its product. Few roofing options offer this combination of original-owner peace of mind and transferable protection. For a French Creek homeowner planning to stay long-term or sell within a generation, that warranty structure removes risk from both you and your buyer.
How much maintenance does a metal roof really need on wet Vancouver Island?
Metal roofs require far less upkeep than asphalt, wood, or tile. Aluminum doesn't degrade, crack, curl, or harbor moss and lichen the way organic materials do in wet climates. With 1453 mm of rain and 57 cm of snow annually, a traditional roof in your area spends much of the year shedding, absorbing, and swelling. Interlock panels shed debris automatically and resist algae growth; you may rinse them occasionally, but you won't replace shingles, repair splits, or deal with ice dams. The Alunar® PVDF coating is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading, so your roof's appearance stays consistent. Over 30+ years, the maintenance cost difference between metal and asphalt is dramatic—fewer calls, fewer repairs, and no seasonal worry about leaks after heavy rain or freeze cycles.
Is metal roofing really worth the cost over the life of my house?
Metal roofing costs more upfront but becomes the last roof you buy. An asphalt roof in French Creek's moisture-rich climate typically lasts 15–20 years before curling, splitting, and leaking. Over 50 years, you'd replace it 2–3 times, plus labor, disposal, and the hassle of multiple projects. Interlock, by contrast, carries a lifetime limited warranty and resists the freeze-thaw cracking, algae, and rot that plague asphalt in your region's 1453 mm annual rainfall and 24 freeze-thaw days. The four-way interlocking panels eliminate the fastener fatigue that shortens asphalt life. When you factor in avoided replacements, fewer leak repairs, lower maintenance, and a transferable 50-year warranty for the next owner, the per-year cost of Interlock is lower. Current financing—interest-free payments for 3 months with savings of at least $2499—makes that first investment easier.
