Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Taftville, 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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Taftville
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Taftville, 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 Taftville.
How does a metal roof handle the snow load we get in Taftville each winter?
Interlock's aluminum panels weigh just 0.41 to 0.59 lb/sq ft—so light that they shed snow efficiently without the structural strain that slate or concrete tile would impose. Taftville's average 75 cm of annual snow moves off a pitched metal roof far faster than it would stick to asphalt. The four-way interlocking design keeps panels locked tight through freeze-thaw cycles (about 87 per year here), preventing the panel separation that allows ice dams. Snow guards are available if you want controlled melting in your climate.
Will freeze-thaw cycles in Connecticut damage an aluminum roof?
No. Aluminum's oxide layer actually strengthens it under repeated freeze-thaw stress—it's chemically inert and cannot rust or rot like asphalt, wood, or steel. With roughly 87 freeze-thaw days annually in New London County, this resilience matters: the aluminum alloy (3105-H24 / 3003-H24 per ASTM B209) is engineered for exactly this cycling. The Alunar PVDF coating applied to both panel sides adds another 30-year durability guarantee against UV damage and environmental stress.
Does an aluminum roof really stay watertight with Taftville's rainfall?
Yes. The four-way interlocking panels seal at every edge, and Taftville's average 1208 mm of annual rain runs off metal far faster than it penetrates. Unlike asphalt shingles (which absorb water and degrade), aluminum sheds water immediately. Proper installation with solid decking and underlayment (the same method used under asphalt) ensures zero leaks. The Guardian Warranty covers water infiltration for life on the original owner, so your leak protection is guaranteed.
Can an aluminum roof rust in a climate as wet as Taftville's?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that causes rust in steel. Instead, aluminum forms a self-healing oxide layer that actually protects the metal underneath. In Taftville's wet climate (about 1208 mm rain annually, frequent freeze-thaw), this is a decisive advantage over steel roofing, which corrodes over time. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (applied to both sides) adds extra protection, backed by a 30-year warranty against coating failure. Your roof simply will not rust, even after decades.
How does an aluminum roof hold up to Connecticut's wind gusts?
Interlock's four-way interlocking design is warranted to resist sustained winds up to 120 mph. Taftville's typical gusts reach about 127 km/h (79 mph), well within that safety margin. The overlapping panel geometry distributes wind load across the entire roof system rather than concentrating it on fasteners. ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 confirms the installation meets IBC/IRC wind requirements for your region. This engineering is why the same roof system performs from coastal installations to Antarctic research stations.
Do I need to reinforce my house to install a metal tile roof?
No structural reinforcement is necessary. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs just 0.59 lb/sq ft—approximately 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. This extreme lightness lets it install directly over most existing roofs without adding load to your framing. Compared to slate or traditional tile, you avoid costly structural upgrades entirely. The lightweight aluminum (3105-H24 alloy) is the reason this profile works on homes that could never support the real thing, while delivering identical visual appeal.
Will hail damage an aluminum metal roof, and can I get insurance discounts?
Interlock carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This non-combustible aluminum construction may qualify you for homeowners insurance discounts in New London County; contact your insurer with the UL rating and ICC-ES ESR-1790 report. Combined with the 30-year coating warranty and lifetime material coverage, hail risk is transferred almost entirely to the manufacturer, not your wallet.
Is a metal roof worth the cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Interlock aluminum costs more upfront than asphalt shingles but is the last roof you'll buy. Asphalt lasts 15–25 years; Interlock is warranted for the original owner's lifetime (non-prorated material, no hidden limits), then transfers 50 years to the next owner. Over a 40- to 50-year ownership, the cost per year drops dramatically when you eliminate three asphalt replacements. Add energy savings (energy-efficient colors reflect heat across 3066 annual sunshine hours in Taftville), zero maintenance, and potential resale premiums, and the lifetime value substantially exceeds asphalt. Current financing offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027.
What's the warranty on an Interlock metal roof, and does it transfer if I sell?
The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rust, rot, splitting, cracking, curling, and impact resistance loss. If you sell your home, the warranty transfers once to the next owner for a 50-year term from completion. This dual-owner protection is unique among roofing warranties and directly increases your home's marketability. Combined with the 30-year Alunar coating warranty and hail coverage, you're protected across three generations of roofing risk.
How much maintenance does an aluminum metal roof require?
Virtually none. Aluminum requires no annual inspections, repairs, or treatments—it will not rot, split, curl, or lose structural integrity like asphalt, wood shake, or tile. Taftville's 1208 mm annual rainfall simply washes the roof clean; the Alunar fluorocarbon coating resists chalking and fading for 30 years. This maintenance-free durability is verified under CALGreen standards and the Guardian Warranty itself—a manufacturer won't guarantee lifetime coverage on a product that needs constant care. You save years of labor and hundreds in upkeep over the roof's life.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Taftville’s climate?
Yes. Taftville 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.
