Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Island Park, Minnesota
| 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:
From the start to finish, we loved their work and communication. There were no nails, metal bits, or excessive noise. They listened to all questions and addressed our concerns. They were careful to make no promise of a start date that they could not fulfill. The rain this year made it hard to predict! I would do a commercial for them free to endorse their work and product!
Hi Peter, we wanted to convey to you how much we love our new Interlock roof! Several of our neighbors and friends have said they do, too! We love the look of it, and are so impressed with how beautifully finished it is integrated into the flashing materials. The Interlock scheduling staff was great to work with, and we are so happy with Jessie and his Interlock installation team. They are true craftsmen, and part artists! We loved how they treated our home with respect, and were always willing to address any questions we had. We watched as they worked on items until they had them just right; when we asked about some areas of concern multiple members of the installation team converged on the item and came down to explain and even illustrate with photographs how it was addressed. Again, we couldn't be happier and are enjoying our Interlock roof!
To: Peter Brylinke My Interlock Shake style system was installed in June of 2019. We have now had it for an entire year and experienced the roof through all season, climate and weather conditions. Not only do we value the new look of our roof but the performance of the new roof has been exceptional. In the winter we have seen the snow pile up on it only to slide off as soon as the sun warms it enough. We have noticed a difference in the summers also with a cooler house. The roof has met all of our expectations and we are extremely happy with our decision to install this roof. Last summer when the workers were working on the roof, we were so pleased with the time and effort the workmen put into making sure all aspects of our roof were taken care of. They were courteous, hard working, respectful and considerate of our needs as homeowners. Carlos was instrumental in making sure that we were happy with every aspect of the work that was being done. In closing, we are very impressed with our roof and have recommended this same system to many people we know and many people who just " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">walk by and ask about it. We feel that we have made a great decision in putting this system on our home. ">" alt="Minneapolis MN 55409 Interlock Roof" width="2560" height="1920" />
Dear Peter, Thank you for your help with the installation and warranty transfer of our interlock roof. We have since sold our house and had good feedback about our roof from potential buyers. Neighbors loved our new roof and we had people drive by and actually snap pictures of it! You were right that the new roof would help sell our home! Thanks for all your help!
Dear Peter, I had Interlock Roofing install my black slate roof in the fall one year ago, and I couldn’t be happier! My roof still looks like new, and really stands out in my neighborhood. My old asphalt shingle roof was leaking. I had to shovel it every time it snowed because of " title="ice dams" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">ice dams in my older 1950’s house. I have had no issues at all with my new Interlock roof. It was so nice only to have to shovel my driveway this winter and not worry about snow on the roof. It all just slid off in only a few days after each snowfall. Also, the team that you had out to install my roof was exceptional. I was very impressed with the quality of the team that installed my roof. They were all very polite and worked well together as a team. They worked very hard, and got the job done, and completed in less than three days. I’ve never had to have anyone come back to fix or touch anything up. Thank you for the great job the Interlock team did to replace my roof. I would recommend Interlock to anyone needing a new roof without hesitation!
Dear Peter, We remain delighted with our new Interlock roof. It’s now been through 2 Minnesota winters, a hailstorm, and several rain deluges and is still the top-notch performer that you said it would be. Thank you for your and Interlock’s integrity throughout the sale, installation, and service of our roofing project. We remain convinced that Interlock is indeed “the Midwest’s Best Roof”.
Dear Peter, I Wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new Interlock roof. It looks terrific, and I am anticipating that I will never have to roof rake my roof again now that your product has been installed. My house is small, a 3-bedroom rambler, but the visual impact the Interlock roof has added makes it look like a castle! All of the contact I have had with your personnel, from yourself to the lead foreman on the job and the men doing the install was pleasant and professional. The cleanup after the job was done was great and it only took 1-1/2 days for a complete tear-off to complete the installation. Please use this letter as a personal recommendation for your company and your product.
Dear Peter, Installing the Interlock roof on our home has completely transformed and improved our home’s appearance. The installation of the roof along with the greatly improved flashings have made a great difference. Because of that, our stucco was able to match our home so we look like new. An improvement I didn’t expect was the change in temperature of our second floor. Usually unbearable " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot on a 90-degree day. It’s now 10-15 degree cooler and livable. We also received a sizeable discount on our homeowners’ insurance because of the roof’s resistance to fire. We’re sure that having to “Never roof again” will help us sell our house should that be necessary. Thank you from two satisfied customers.
My Interlock ">Shake Style Roof in Aged Copper color was installed between December 21st and December 31st. Snow has covered most of the house and garage since it was installed, so I haven’t been able to enjoy the new look yet, but during the installation and before the snow it was obvious it I going to look great. I am glad I had them put Interlock ">Shakes on my 8ft x 16ft hip-roofed storage shed as well. There are a lot of huge oak trees close to my house and they had caused the heavy cedar hand-split shakes to deteriorate from moss growing on them. I knew I needed a roof that would not have this problem in the future. I am a retired mechanical engineer and had built the house and garage myself. I studied the specs on steel, stone coated steel and several aluminum style shakes, before finally settling on the Interlock product. I believe it will prove to be a good choice. I was very impressed with the quality and design of all the types of flashings, ridge vent, and fasteners that were expertly installed. I truly expect this roof to last and look great for generations. I was also very impressed with the crew who did the work under Juan and Carlos’ direction. They worked tirelessly in some difficult weather conditions and short daylight hours. A number of minor changes were made on the fly with gutters, snow guards and roof penetrations and they were all executed precisely. They were very careful in making sure the roofs were protected overnight, on weekends and during the Christmas holiday. They did a great job of cleaning up the difficult mess made removing the decayed shakes. I guess I won’t know for sure if there are any problems until we get some heavy rains in the spring and summer, but as of now, I would be happy to show the roof and talk to any prospective clients that are considering the Interlock product.
I love my new roof. It looks great and I know the house is in better shape without the heavy deteriorating asphalt shingles. My house is the only one on the block with no snow on the roof, and I can't wait to hear it in the rain
We are delighted with the workmanship and quality of our new roof. It has exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend an Interlock Roof to anyone looking to replace an old roof.
Dear Interlock Roofing, We are writing to share with you our experience with you, your employees, and the new roof. We built a brand new home and moved in January 1997. Within a few years, we were experiencing shingles that were curling and being removed by the wind. By the summer of 2007, it was imperative that we re-roof our home. Fortunately, we saw an ad in the local paper for your product. Below are just a few of the benefits we appreciate with the aluminum interlocking roofing shingles: The service and attention to our roofing project by Scott Bohnen from signing the contract to follow-up after the installation. The fact that the workforce followed safety procedures by wearing safety gear (we have a steep roof). Daily attention to our project until it was completed, about one week in total. Aesthetically pleasing roof, with numerous comments by friends and neighbors and those just passing by. EXCELLENT CURB APPEAL! The roof is quieter during rain storms than with regular asphalt shingles. We often have to verify that it is raining by visually looking or going outside. The roof reflects light so that we have experienced reduced air conditioning costs in the summer. In the winter, the heating bill is reduced as well and that may be in part to the aluminum shingle along with the polypropylene lining between the old and new shingles. No matter the reason, our heating and cooling bills are reduced. The fact that the roof is aluminum and it can be recycled at the end of its life expectancy. The 50-year, one time transferable, warranty. We could go on and on but we are very pleased with our roof and thankful that we will never have to re-roof again. Thank you.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Island Park
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Island Park, Minnesota. 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 Island Park.
How does a metal roof handle Minnesota snow and ice dams?
Metal roofs shed snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt because the smooth interlocked panels offer no grip for buildup. Island Park receives about 95 cm of snow annually, and the four-way interlocking design prevents water infiltration even when freeze-thaw cycling occurs roughly 79 days per year. Unlike asphalt, aluminum won't crack or curl under the repeated expansion and contraction from Minnesota winters. Snow guards are available if you want controlled shedding onto your landscape.
Will freeze-thaw cycles damage an aluminum metal roof?
No. Aluminum expands and contracts minimally compared to asphalt or wood, and it has no moisture absorption—so ice formation within the material itself cannot crack it. With approximately 79 freeze-thaw days annually in Island Park and average winter temperatures around 8°C, asphalt shingles become brittle and split, while aluminum simply cycles without permanent stress. The Alunar coating (30-year warranty against chalking) protects the underlying alloy, which self-heals its protective oxide layer even when scratched.
Can a metal roof withstand Minnesota wind gusts?
Yes—the four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph. Island Park experiences typical daily gusts around 94 km/h (58 mph), well within that tolerance. The interlocking design distributes wind load across the entire roof system rather than concentrating it on fasteners or seams. Even in severe weather, the mechanical connection between panels prevents individual pieces from separating, making this design far more resilient than single-layer shingles in sustained wind.
Do I need to reinforce my home's structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is required. The Shake and Shingle profiles weigh about 0.41 to 0.58 lb per square foot—roughly 96% lighter than traditional slate or tile. Most existing roof structures can support this weight without modification, and in many cases, Interlock metal panels install directly over your current asphalt roof, eliminating the cost and labor of a full tear-off. This lightweight advantage saves money upfront and simplifies installation timelines.
What protection does a metal roof offer against hail damage?
Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This rating typically qualifies homeowners for insurance discounts on their roof coverage. Unlike asphalt shingles, which bruise and leak after moderate hail, aluminum's hardness and flexibility absorb impacts without permanent deformation. Check with your insurer about discount eligibility; many carriers recognize the superior hail resistance of metal.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or tile?
Metal roofing requires far less maintenance than asphalt, wood, or traditional tile. There is no granule loss, no moss or algae growth that asphalt encourages, and no cracking from Minnesota's 79 annual freeze-thaw cycles. Occasional debris removal and gutter cleaning are sufficient. The Alunar coating is rated to resist weathering over a 30-year term, meaning your roof maintains its appearance and function with minimal intervention while asphalt requires regular inspection and eventual replacement.
Is a metal roof more expensive than asphalt over the long term?
Metal roofing costs more upfront but becomes cheaper over a 40–60-year horizon because you buy it once and never buy a second roof. Asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years and requires replacement twice or three times in that span, adding labor, tear-off costs, and landfill fees each cycle. The Guardian Warranty provides a lifetime limited, non-prorated material benefit to the original owner and transfers to the next owner for 50 years, protecting your investment across decades while asphalt enters the waste stream repeatedly.
Will a metal roof reduce my cooling costs?
Metal roofing with energy-efficient colors reflects rather than absorbs solar heat, with thermal emissivity up to 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55. Island Park receives about 3128 hours of annual sunshine, giving a reflective roof meaningful opportunity to reduce cooling load during warm months. Unlike asphalt—which absorbs heat and transfers it into the attic—a light-colored metal roof stays cooler and lowers air-conditioning demand, offsetting your initial investment through energy savings over 10–20 years.
How long does it take to install a metal roof, and do you install over existing shingles?
Installation typically takes 1–3 days depending on roof size and complexity. Yes, Interlock panels install directly over most existing asphalt roofs—no tear-off required—which saves weeks of labor and eliminates disposal costs. A solid deck and underlayment ensure the roof performs identically to a new deck install and keeps interior noise at asphalt-like levels during rain. Working with a local installer like Interlock Metal Roofing (serving this region since 2001) ensures proper fastening, flashing, and warranty compliance.
Is an aluminum metal roof environmentally responsible?
Yes. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, and the four-way interlocking design means the entire roof disassembles cleanly for recycling—no landfill waste. This contrasts with asphalt shingles, which accumulate in landfills because they cannot be recycled economically. Over 60 years, a metal roof replaces two or three asphalt installations, eliminating the environmental cost of multiple tear-offs and waste streams. Choosing metal breaks the asphalt cycle and commits your home to a circular material economy.
