Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Manotick, Ontario
| 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. |

The aluminum roof is definitely a premium product! It added to the value and the looks of the house. Derek, the salesman we worked with, provided all relevant information and he was extremely patient with us, as we had a million questions for him. Additionally, Jean-Francois and Matthieu did an excellent job with the installation as well as keeping things neat and tidy at the end of each day. The final look and performance of the product surpassed our expectations! Thank you Interlock.
Excellent value and amazing service. Highly recommend. Positive: Quality, Professionalism, Value Services: Roof repair
Barry Brinson of Interlock Roofing is very honest and trustworthy. He gave us a great price, a supreme state-of-the-art product with quality workmanship and a 100% lifetime worry-free warranty. I was extremely pleased with the job and the clean-up around the house before they left the site every day. Thanks to the professional crew led by Kelly. I highly recommend this company and the installation team. 100% customer satisfaction. Good long-term investment. Thanks again to you, the crew members, and especially Kelly for their excellent work.
Just a quick note to say thank you for the most beautiful roof. It gives our home strength and beauty. We love it! Quick thanks to Barry, our sales rep, John and his crew for being very efficient and knowledgeable when it came to the foundation of the roof to the finishing touches. Your company should be very proud of the crew, as they are professional, friendly and knowledgeable! Their clean-up job every day was phenomenal. We are pleased to refer our friends and family to your company. Thank you once again!
Great experience from start to finish. Easy and pleasant to deal with. Friendly staff in all departments. Final product looks amazing. Positive: Quality, Professionalism Services: Roof installation
We recently had a positive experience with our new roof install just before the awful weather hit - the hard working installation team finished the job in challenging conditions with diligence, good attention to detail, courtesy, and daily job site clean up. It's a significant investment and the company worked with us to resolve a couple of issues that did come up along the way, promptly and reasonably. Would recommend both the product and the team.
One of those lucky days that I followed a link from a Facebook post. We had immediate follow up and then an appointment scheduled quickly and conveniently with Derek. We had done our homework and we were impressed with Derek's information and approach. Our installation was scheduled quickly. The installers were excellent, personable, professional and very tidy. No mess left behind. After the first winter we are very happy. I would recommend for other to consider more roof guards. Although we are protected over doorways there were mountains from the slide in our garden and on back patio. Not critical but something to consider. Services: Roof installation
Top quality materials and installation. We are very happy with our new roof.
My wife and I are very impressed with the looks of the INTERLOCK black slate roofing system that was just installed on our home in the Huntclub Road / Conroy Road area in Ottawa. The crew that installed the roofing material during the 3rd and 4th weeks of January 2019 worked through and around temperatures between +.5°C to -25.°C, two weather events that dropped 46 cm of snow and 6 mm of rain and freezing rain plus the occasional days of lite snow flurries. The lead installer told me that a normal installation for the size of our roof could take 2 to 3 days in the spring, summer and fall but with the unpredictable weather doing winter jobs, it can take longer as some days with the extreme cold and dumps of snow it’s just too dangerous to work outside let alone on a roof. The three-person crew was very courteous and answered any and all questions my wife and I had during the installation process, and they made sure the work site was clean and tidy before leaving for home.
Dear Interlock, My asphalt shingle roof was starting to curl and disintegrate after just ten years. Although I had considered metal the last time around, the cost seemed too high. This experience suddenly made it seem like the better choice. Barry arrived on June 16 and delivered a wonderful presentation on the merits of Interlock aluminum products, reaffirming much of the information available on the internet. The price quoted was more or less as expected, although he did talk me out of the more expensive shake profile which featured in my plans. The one surprise was that my preferred colour, the aged " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper, came at an added cost. It would have been helpful had the website indicated that it commanded a premium price. The timeline was for installation anywhere from 2 to 7 weeks from signing. Provincial Foreman Tony advised me that the boxes of metal shingles and other materials would be delivered on June 27, but they actually arrived early the following morning. Kelly headed up the crew who did the actual installation. He kept me advised about timing and let me know when illness delayed their arrival by a few days. They showed up as promised on July 7 and had about half the house done before noon, working very smoothly together as a team, with the underlayment completed. Note that the underlayment comes with its own 50-year " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty and claims that it can cover a roof for up to six months without protection. This may be standard but seems like good quality to me. Cleanup was very good. The roof was completed on their second day of work, July 11, with a weekend of rain intervening. They also managed to do the entire garage roof (a separate building) the same day. The house roof is 17 squares, with the garage being another 7. Both are hip roof style. Cleanup was again quite good – I followed around for the final look and didn’t spot anything. However, the next day a closer look around found several strips of the cut asphalt shingles on top of a hedge and in a flower bed (well hidden, in all fairness), along with a few small pieces of cut aluminum which might pose a hazard for some of the younger children who routinely pass through my yard. Yesterday I found two aluminum nails which came to light only after a decent rainfall. Disappointingly, some cut shingles were also left in the gutters which is a much greater problem for an older person, meaning me, to resolve. Note that the noise of the rain on the aluminum roof is not much different from that of the asphalt shingles. Perhaps a slightly higher pitch, but the insulation in the attic and the fact that the old shingles were left on the roof under the aluminum perhaps helped to make it almost unnoticeable. Two days was quite a bit less than the estimated five for the installation. No complaints on this front. From signing the contract to completion was less than four weeks, which ranks as excellent service. Neighbours have been very complimentary about the appearance, with one opining that it’s the best-looking roof in the area. At the end of the day, my house and garage have great looking roofs which should add value when the house is sold (not anytime soon) and will not require replacement for the remainder of my ownership. Interlock personnel all performed admirably, and I am pleased with the final result.
Loving the roof. Sorry, it had to take a lot of your emails, but I'm really happy it is done. John (never got his last name) from Cornwall was great and had a great crew with him. They did an amazing job and was a pleasure to see their work on my house. Thank Dave Brown for me too, both his visits were pleasant and fun. I learned a lot from him, and we had great conversations, and without him, I would not have gotten my roof done. And also a thank you to you too. That long first conversation I had with you at the home show went a long way in my decision in going with an aluminum roof and with your company. Thanks, and I hope I never have to think about my roof again.
We looked at different alternatives to re-roof our house, and we chose the Interlock roofing system because it represented the best value available. Barry Brinson answered all our questions when we met him on the Saturday afternoon of a long weekend. Shortly after the materials were delivered, John Caverley arrived with his crew and promptly proceeded to install the roof. He and his crew were thoroughly professional, and their use of safety equipment was reassuring. The team was well-integrated; they showed that they knew what they were doing, and all proceeded without a hitch. They worked tirelessly and were done in one day. When they left, there were no nails, scrap or cigarette butts behind, only a brand-new roof that was the envy of the neighbourhood. After a few weeks, we can say that the roof is quiet, even with heavy rain, and the upstairs rooms are cooler on a " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot day than was the case in the past. We would not hesitate to recommend an Interlock roof for its value and looks. Barry and John went out of their way to make it all happen to our complete satisfaction.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Manotick
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Manotick, Ontario. 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 Manotick.
How does a metal roof handle Manotick's heavy snow load?
Interlock's aluminum panels are extraordinarily light—the Shingle profile weighs just 0.41 lb/sq ft—so they won't strain your roof structure under snow loads, and your existing framing likely needs no reinforcement. Because the panels are smooth and slippery, snow sheds naturally rather than accumulating. In a typical Manotick winter with about 140 cm of snowfall, you'll see faster melt cycles, and the interlocking four-way design prevents wind-driven snow from working under the seams during the region's gusts up to 95 km/h. Optional snow guards are available if you want to manage edge shedding in specific areas.
Will freeze-thaw cycles in Ontario damage an aluminum metal roof?
No—aluminum's natural oxide layer actually grows stronger through freeze-thaw cycling and actually self-heals when scratched, making it ideally suited to Manotick's roughly 91 freeze-thaw days per year. Unlike asphalt shingles that crack and curl, or wood shakes that split, aluminum flexes safely through temperature swings. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating on both sides adds 30 years of warranty against chalking and fading, so seasonal temperature shifts won't degrade either the finish or the panel itself.
Why is an aluminum roof better than steel for Ontario's climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—steel roofs will eventually corrode, especially in humid climates like Manotick's with 896 mm of annual rainfall. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209), and the Alunar coating is applied to both sides for extra protection. Even if scratched by branch contact or installer foot traffic, aluminum's oxide layer self-heals automatically. Steel requires ongoing maintenance and will fail long before your aluminum roof reaches its 50-year transferable warranty term.
Can an Interlock metal roof reduce cooling costs in summer?
Yes—Interlock's energy-efficient colors reflect heat rather than absorbing it the way asphalt does. Select finishes achieve thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (for example, Aged Copper Penny), which means less heat radiates into your attic on Manotick's 2884 annual sunshine hours. A lighter-colored metal roof can lower attic temperatures by 10–15°F compared to dark asphalt, reducing your air-conditioning load and extending compressor life. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms the energy benefit—you're not paying extra for cool-roof performance you won't realize.
Is a metal roof safe in Ontario wind storms?
Yes—Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. Manotick experiences typical daily-max winds around 18 km/h with gusts reaching 95 km/h, well below that threshold. The interlocking design prevents wind from lifting edges or separating panels, which is how asphalt shingles fail. Unlike standing-seam or corrugated panels fastened only at the seams, Interlock's full perimeter engagement distributes wind load across the entire roof, giving you confidence through the Ontario storm season.
Does Interlock metal roofing hold up to hail damage?
Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 means Interlock resists impact from 1.5-inch steel balls dropped from 20 feet, so typical Ontario hail poses no threat to the panels themselves. After a severe hail event, your insurance adjuster will find no dents, punctures, or coating damage, which translates to no deductible claim and no out-of-pocket repairs. Some insurers offer wind and hail discounts on metal roofs; ask your agent about premium reductions.
Can I install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
Yes—one of aluminum's greatest advantages is weight. Because Interlock's heaviest profile (Mediterranean Tile at ~0.59 lb/sq ft) is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile, you can install over most existing roofs without structural reinforcement. Your local Interlock Metal Roofing (Ontario) Ltd. installer will assess your deck and fastening, and in most cases installation is straightforward. The underlayment and solid deck provide acoustic isolation, so the finished roof will be no noisier than asphalt in rain. Installation timeline is typically 2–5 days depending on roof size and complexity.
How much maintenance does an Interlock metal roof need?
Almost none—that's the point. Unlike asphalt shingles that require regular inspection for curling and missing granules, or cedar shakes that split and rot, aluminum requires only occasional debris clearing and gutter maintenance just like any roof. There's no resealing, no coating refresh, no granule replacement. The Alunar 70% PVDF finish is factory-applied to both sides and carries a 30-year warranty against chalking and fading, so you're not paying for annual upkeep crews. Over Manotick's 91 freeze-thaw days per year, this durability translates to real savings versus materials that degrade seasonally.
What does the Guardian Warranty actually cover?
The Guardian is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—essentially every way a traditional roof fails. It's one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years of coverage from completion, so you're selling a roof that's insured to 2074 if sold within the next decade. This warranty exists because aluminum doesn't degrade the way asphalt (UV breakdown), wood (rot and insects), or steel (rust) does. No other roof type offers this combination of lifespan certainty and resale appeal.
Is a metal roof really better for the environment?
Yes—aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable, and Interlock panels manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC end the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle. When your roof eventually reaches the end of its life—far longer than asphalt—the panels go back into aluminum supply chains instead of a dump. Over 50 years, you avoid the environmental cost of three or four asphalt roof replacements, each generating tear-off waste and installation emissions. Interlock is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance, recognizing the sustainability advantage. If your home's environmental footprint matters to you, metal roofing backed by ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 (reissued 2025) is the honest choice.
