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

What our customers are saying:
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!
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.
We had some Snow guards added to our roof. Service was prompt and fast. They came when they said they would and did what they said they would do. They have simply enhanced the roof that we already have been enjoying for several years now. Positive: Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value Services: Roof installation
Chris Thompson gave us excellent service repairing a vent that a red squirrel damaged to get into our house!! Thanks Chris!! Great service and we will get those snow barriers later this summer. We love our interlock roof!! Positive: Quality Services: Roof repair
Our roof has been completed for about a month now and we’re starting to feel settled in our new house. We are very happy with the results and the process taken to get there. First of all, the crew was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone. They were really friendly and very hard working. The temperatures were in the low 30s for the entire week, but these guys were troopers and were very committed to the job. I was very impressed with their focus while enduring extreme heat, on a black roof with no escape from the sun. They did a great job and the work site was kept clean and tidy. Boxes and trash were removed daily and our home functioned as normal when work was completed for the day. Most importantly, we are very impressed with the roof itself. We got exactly what we wanted, which was a sharp looking profile that would blend in with the architecture of the house. We didn’t want something flashy that would be the focal point of our property; however, since we started the process of educating ourselves on roofs, we’ve come to better appreciate this feature of a home. The Interlock slate shingles we chose are quite subtle and look much like a traditional roof, but a closer inspection reveals a sleek and attractive finish with well-integrated flashing’s and vents. The ridge vents are essentially invisible. The biggest selling feature for us was the longevity of the roof. We hope this investment will truly mean that this is our “last roof”. So far, Interlock has delivered on all its promises and we are very pleased with the choice we made. Thanks to you and your colleagues for the work you have done. The roof is a great addition to our home and we’re looking forward to many years of living under it.
Barry, Our new Interlock roof has been on our house for about a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The entire process was professional from the time we called Interlock, to your visit to show us the various products, to the completed installation. Your advice on selecting the type of Interlock product for our house was appreciated, and looks wonderful. The installers – Toma and his crew from Gravelle Renovations- were very professional and polite. They worked through some terrible winter weather in order to complete our installation. They also ensured that the yard was tidy at the end of every day they were onsite. In short, we are very satisfied with the quality of the product, the installation, and the overall look of our new Interlock roof. We now have peace of mind that we will not have to worry about our roof for a very long time. I have found only one big problem with our new roof, though... We can’t see it from inside! Our neighbours have commented on how nice it looks, but we have to go outside to appreciate it.
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.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Richmond
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Richmond, 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 Richmond.
How does a metal roof handle Richmond's heavy snow loads and ice buildup?
Metal roofs shed snow effectively because of their smooth, hard surface and thermal properties—your aluminum panels won't trap moisture the way asphalt does in Richmond's typical 150 cm annual snowfall. The four-way interlocking design and standing seam options prevent water intrusion even when ice dams form during the area's roughly 88 freeze-thaw cycles per year. Snow guards are available if you want to retain snow for insulation or prevent slides onto walkways, giving you the choice asphalt doesn't offer.
Will freeze-thaw cycles damage an aluminum metal roof in Richmond?
No. Aluminum's oxide layer naturally self-heals when exposed to air, so the material remains unaffected by the repeated freeze-thaw stress from Richmond's 88 annual cycles. Unlike asphalt shingles, which crack and cup as moisture works into their substrate, or wood shakes, which split, roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum simply expands and contracts without degrading. Combined with the 30-year Alunar coating warranty, your roof stays intact through decades of winter transitions and the area's 770 mm of annual rainfall.
Why choose aluminum over steel roofing in a climate like Richmond's?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes and causes structural failure. Instead, aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that actually heals itself when scratched. Steel roofing, by contrast, rusts from the inside out and requires paint maintenance. Interlock's roofing-grade 3003-H24 and 3105-H24 aluminum, coated with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon on both sides, is made for coastal salt-air environments and handles Richmond's 770 mm annual rain without corrosion concerns that would plague other metals.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?
The comparison is simple: asphalt requires replacement every 15–25 years, while your Interlock aluminum roof is warranted for the lifetime of your ownership with no prorated decline—making it the last roof you'll buy. Over 50+ years, you avoid multiple tear-off and disposal cycles; the current promotion includes interest-free payments for 3 months and savings of at least $2,499. Asphalt ends up in landfills; aluminum is ~95% recyclable and ends that waste loop while protecting your home through Richmond's harsh weather for generations.
Can a metal roof withstand Richmond's wind gusts?
Yes. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. Richmond's typical gusts reach about 101 km/h, well within the roof's capability. The interlocking design distributes wind load across the entire assembly rather than relying on fasteners alone, so your roof stays secure even during the strongest seasonal storms. No other roofing material—asphalt, wood, or tile—offers this engineered wind resistance combined with durability.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is required. Interlock's aluminum panels weigh as little as 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Shingle profile and about 0.59 lb/sq ft for the Tile profile—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Your existing roof framing easily supports this load, and most homes can have the metal roof installed directly over the existing asphalt or wood, eliminating costly decking work. This light weight also reduces strain on your home's foundation and allows installation on structures that couldn't handle traditional tile or slate.
Will a metal roof reduce my insurance premiums or protect against hail damage?
Interlock metal roofing carries a 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 non-combustible, impact-resistant construction and offer premium discounts. Contact your provider with your roof specification; the combination of fire resistance (Class A non-combustible aluminum) and Class 4 hail protection often qualifies you for savings that offset part of the installation cost over time.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood?
Virtually none. Unlike asphalt shingles, which degrade from UV exposure and temperature cycling, or wood shakes, which split and invite moss growth in Richmond's 770 mm annual rainfall, aluminum doesn't rot, crack, or curl. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214/D2244), so it resists the area's ~2,926 annual sunshine hours. Occasional debris removal is all that's needed. This low-maintenance profile aligns with CALGreen certification and eliminates the cost and labor of regular repairs.
Will a metal roof reduce cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient Interlock colors with thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 reflect heat that asphalt absorbs, lowering air-conditioning demand on warm days. Richmond's ~2,926 annual sunshine hours mean this reflectivity matters year-round. Cool Roof Rating Council–rated finishes actively cool your home, reducing energy bills without sacrificing style. Metal roofing acts like an uninsulated mirror to solar radiation, while asphalt converts that energy into heat that penetrates your attic and living spaces—a measurable difference over decades.
