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

What our customers are saying:
Our roof is finished and it looks beautiful! We are very pleased with the outcome. The "Aged Copper' was absolutely the right choice for our house and carriage shed. We want to thank you for your assistance and professionalism is presenting your product to us and explaining the specifics of the installation, and for your follow-up calls to see how the job was going. We especially would like to commend the installer. He was meticulous about his work, with great attention to detail, and it was evident that he takes a lot of pride in his work. We know you said that all the installers are very good/ but we feel very fortunate to have had Nazar on this job. Everyone with whom we had contact at Interlock was friendly and helpful and we certainly appreciated that in making this investment in our home. The job was finished yesterday and this morning we awoke to snow! So we actually did get to witness the snow guards doing their job. We took a photo and if it comes out well, we'll send you a copy. Don't make a special trip, but if you are in the area do stop by to see how great the roof looks. If the dog is out in the yard, just call his name, "Bonzo", and talk to him. (He would he very happy if you have any dog treats to toss his way). Again, thanks to everyone.
I am very hesitant to recommend Interlock Roofing due to the shingles being nailed in and not screwed like the sales video I saw. Interlock Roofing is also a very expensive system and I am also still waiting for warranty documents. Interlock Roofing could improve by using licensed roofers within the state where the roof is installed. They also need to do something about the method of installation if you are going to nail the shingles then do not show a video that shows them being screwed during installation. The quality of workmanship was great. At the end of the job the crew made sure that every little thing was picked up and cleaned up.
might do better on after job clean up
The sales presentation with Jonathan was good and he explained everything to me.
When Jeff realized we weren't taking his offer, he became rude--accusing me of not telling him earlier so he could go home to his kids. Real professional! Fuck him! I don't owe him anything . . .You did not do a good job of qualifying me--the woman who set up the appointment never toldme you would be well over 3X the cost of asphalt.You guys blew this one all around.
To whom it may concern; Several months ago we decided to have a new roof installed on our home. After comparing many different types of roofing materials, the decision was made to use the aluminum roofing system that Interlock presented to us. After several months I can say that the right decision was made. The new roof looks as great today as when it was installed. We have noticed our cooling costs in the summer as well as our heating costs in the winter have been greatly lowered. From the first day the roof was installed, numerous individuals have stopped to compliment and inquire of the roof. The one main concerns seems to be that of most that stop by to inquire of the roof - the noise level when it rains, with aluminum it must be terribly loud in the house, right? I tell them all the same thing. There can be a down pour going on outside and the only way I would know is if someone opened the door. Putting the Interlock Roofing System on our home was one of the smartest investments that we could have ever made. We not only have a roof that will look great for many years to come, we are also saving money each month on everything from gas and electric to homeowners insurance, and our home is now classified as energy efficient which means that there are more discounts to come for many years. But to me, just knowing that in twelve years I will not find myself looking up at the roof and cringing thinking that it is time for a new roof already, because I know it will look as great then as it does today.
Making sure from the beginning that it is clean. We have children that run around, and we were concerned about that. Once we told them about that, they had someone out here cleaning it. They did not put snow guards on part of our roof that should of had them. They did come out and put extra on there. That should of been part of the initial survey of the house.
Our Interlock roof installation was completed this past week. Several days after the installation was completed we endured a period of rainy days that dumped over 5 inches of rain on our new roof. Under this extraordinary onslaught we have seen no leaks or other problems. The installer was Alex, his work ethics were beyond reproach and we were impressed that one man could do a large job like this in such a timely fashion. Alex cleaned up the job site thoroughly at the end of each day, which we greatly appreciated. Your sales representative, Gerald Matta was through and professional. He gave us the information we felt we needed to make this important decision without undue sales pressure. Please feel free to bring any potential customers by to see the excellent job your company did. We will be pleased to talk with them.
I love the roof. I recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone. It is the best and smartest thing I have done in a long time, and I don't know what took me so long to do it. I am thoroughly impressed. The installers, a father and son team, were great. The guy who put it in is a biochemist and is putting on roofs! I loved conversations with them. I love it.
We are completely satisfied with all aspects of dealing with everyone at Interlock Roofing that in my opinion there no need for improvement. Keep doing what you are doing When everything was set up we were given a start date of10/26 but were told if the materials came in early they could possibly start early. Much to our surprise the materials came in and they scheduled and completed the job nearly 1 1/2 months early. The crew was very prompt and professional and left the site clean upon completion.
Sorry I didn’t get this to you sooner, but I just wanted to drop you a line on the excellent installation of my roof by Nazar and Sergei. They installed our roof in February and never let the harsh weather affect their attention to detail and their determination to do quality work. I was very fortunate to get these two Ukrainian gentlemen as my installers.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Franklin
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Franklin, Connecticut. 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 Franklin.
How does a metal roof handle heavy snow in Franklin?
Aluminum panels stay secure under snow load because the four-way interlocking design distributes weight evenly across your deck. Franklin receives about 75 cm of snow annually, and the smooth surface sheds it faster than asphalt, reducing ice-dam buildup that triggers leaks. Snow guards are available if you want to retain snow for insulation or prevent shedding onto walkways. The lightweight construction—about 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Shingle profile—means no structural reinforcement needed, unlike concrete tile.
Will freeze-thaw cycles damage an aluminum metal roof?
No—aluminum expands and contracts predictably; the material doesn't crack, split, or curl the way asphalt or wood shingles do. Franklin experiences approximately 87 freeze-thaw days per year, and aluminum's oxide layer actually self-heals when scratched, preventing corrosion pathways. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is rated 30 years against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214, so it remains intact through repeated freezing and thawing. This is why asphalt roofs fail in climates like yours—aluminum simply doesn't.
Can aluminum metal roofing rust or corrode?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. When exposed to air, it forms a natural oxide layer that protects the metal underneath; if that layer is scratched, it heals automatically. The Interlock panels use roofing-grade 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) with a two-sided Alunar fluorocarbon finish for added salt-air and moisture protection. Franklin's 1208 mm of annual rain and freeze-thaw cycling don't degrade aluminum the way moisture degrades steel or asphalt. The lifetime limited warranty covers rusting—a guarantee Interlock can only make because it's metallurgically impossible.
How does a metal roof hold up in Connecticut wind storms?
The four-way interlocking design and the 120 mph wind warranty mean your panels lock together so tightly that wind cannot lift or separate them. Franklin's typical wind gusts reach 127 km/h—well within this rating. Each panel interlocks on all four sides, distributing uplift pressure across the entire roof rather than stressing fasteners. When installed to specification, Interlock's aluminum panels maintain structural integrity in nor'easters and microbursts without special fastening. This is why the product has been installed on Antarctic research stations and coastal homes in salt-air environments since 1998.
Does metal roofing hold up in hail? Will insurance cover damage?
Aluminum panels are rated UL 2218 Class 4—the highest impact classification available. The Guardian warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches, so you're protected beyond what most homeowners policies require. Franklin's climate doesn't report extreme hail frequency, but when severe storms do occur, this rating means you won't file a claim for impact damage. Many insurers recognize Class 4 impact resistance and offer premium discounts; contact your agent with the UL 2218 certification. Unlike slate or asphalt, aluminum doesn't chip, crack, or lose coating integrity from impacts.
How much lighter is metal roofing than tile or slate?
The Mediterranean Tile profile installs at just 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. This means no structural reinforcement needed, even on older homes. Most existing roofs can support the installation directly; your contractor removes only the old shingles, not the deck. Franklin homeowners save thousands in structural upgrades that would be mandatory with real slate or tile. The Shake profile runs 0.58 lb/sq ft, and Slate 0.41 lb/sq ft, so any profile is so light your home's framing doesn't even notice.
How long does metal roof installation take, and can you install over my existing shingles?
Installation timelines depend on roof size and weather, but aluminum panels install quickly because they're lightweight and lock together—no complicated fastening sequences. Yes, you can install over existing asphalt shingles in most cases; there's no need to tear off and haul away, which cuts waste and labor cost. Your Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) installer will inspect your deck and confirm load capacity. Because aluminum panels weigh so little—0.41 to 0.59 lb/sq ft—the existing structure almost always accommodates them without reinforcement. This simplicity is why the installation is cleaner and faster than slate or concrete tile.
What does the Interlock metal roof warranty cover, and how long does it last?
The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's transferable once to the next owner for 50 years from completion. This means if you sell, the new owner gains decades of protection. No other roofing material—asphalt, wood, or traditional tile—offers this coverage. Combined with the 30-year Alunar coating warranty against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214 / D2244 measured), you have genuine documentation of durability, not marketing hype.
Is metal roofing better for the environment than asphalt shingles?
Yes. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable; at end-of-life, panels return to the recycling stream indefinitely. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, end up in landfills by the millions of tons yearly because the tar and fiberglass cannot be easily separated. Your old shingles get hauled away; metal panels ultimately become new cans, building materials, or panels again. Franklin's 1208 mm annual rainfall means your roof must shed water reliably for decades—metal does, without the environmental debt of repeated tear-offs and replacement. Choosing metal breaks the asphalt disposal cycle and aligns with CALGreen sustainability standards.
Do reflective metal roofs really reduce cooling costs?
energy-efficient Interlock colors with 0.84 thermal emissivity and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) reflect heat that asphalt absorbs and radiates into your attic. Franklin receives about 3066 sunshine hours per year; that accumulated heat raises cooling demand in summer. A reflective metal roof keeps more of that energy off your home. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating quantifies this benefit in real terms. Combined with low weight and durability, energy performance adds to the life-cycle value—lower utility bills for the roof's entire lifespan, not just the first year.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Franklin’s climate?
Yes. Franklin averages about 75 cm of snow, 1208 mm of rain, roughly 87 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 127 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.
