Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Lake Elmo Township, 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 Lake Elmo Township
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Lake Elmo Township, 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 Lake Elmo Township.
Will a metal roof hold up to Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes—aluminum actually thrives in freeze-thaw conditions. Lake Elmo sees about 81 freeze-thaw days per year, which destroys asphalt and wood, but aluminum's oxide layer self-heals when scratched and contains no iron, so it cannot rust or degrade from repeated temperature swings. The four-way interlocking panels expand and contract uniformly without cracking, splitting, or curling like shingles do. Paired with the 30-year Alunar coating warranty against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214), your roof handles decades of Minnesota winters without the deterioration that ends asphalt roofs in 15–20 years.
Does Interlock metal roofing work in heavy snow areas?
Absolutely. Lake Elmo receives about 94 cm of snow annually, and the light weight of Interlock panels is an advantage—the Slate profile installs at just 0.41 lb/sq ft, so no structural reinforcement is needed, and the roof handles snow load without sagging. The smooth aluminum surface allows snow to shed naturally, reducing ice dam formation. If you want snow guards, they install easily on the four-way interlocking design. The panels are tested to ICC-ES ESR-1790 specifications for snow load in cold climates, and aluminum's lack of rust means trapped moisture or melt never causes corrosion like it does with steel.
How does Interlock handle Lake Elmo's wind and storm gusts?
The four-way interlocking system locks panels together so forcefully that the roof performs as a single unit. Interlock roofing is warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, and Lake Elmo's typical gusts reach about 95 km/h (59 mph)—well below that threshold. In severe weather, the locking mechanism prevents uplift and flutter that tears asphalt shingles. The warranty covers wind damage when installed to spec, and because aluminum is lightweight, fastening is simple and reliable, with no structural stress from the material itself that could compromise the connection over time.
Does Interlock metal roofing qualify for insurance discounts for hail damage?
Interlock holds the highest hail impact rating available: UL 2218 Class 4, which is the top classification. The warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Because the aluminum is non-combustible and impact-resistant, many insurers recognize it as a lower-risk material and offer premium discounts. In Lake Elmo, where summer storm activity is part of the climate, a roof that won't dent, split, or lose granules in hail is a real asset. That durability translates to fewer claims and potentially lower long-term insurance costs compared to asphalt, which can suffer significant damage from golf-ball-sized hail.
Won't a metal roof rust in Minnesota winters?
No—aluminum roofing cannot rust because aluminum contains no iron. Rust forms when iron oxidizes; aluminum instead develops a thin, self-healing oxide layer that protects the metal underneath. Even if the coating gets scratched, the oxide layer repairs itself without corrosion. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (applied to both sides of every panel) adds a durable barrier and is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading. In climates like Lake Elmo with about 843 mm of annual rainfall and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, this material advantage matters enormously—steel roofs deteriorate from rust in these conditions, but aluminum only gets better over time.
Does a metal roof tile look require reinforcing my house frame?
Not at all. The Interlock Mediterranean Tile profile weighs just 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so your existing roof structure can support it without any reinforcement. This is a massive practical advantage: traditional tile requires costly structural upgrades, sometimes $10,000 or more, before installation even begins. Interlock Tile installs directly over your existing roof in most cases, saving weeks of prep work and structural engineering. With only about 3,110 sunshine hours and 94 cm of snow annually in Lake Elmo, the lightweight design handles seasonal loads easily while the aluminum's strength ensures long-term durability without added beams or headers.
How long does a metal roof actually last, and what's the warranty?
Interlock aluminum roofing is manufactured to last 50+ years, and the Guardian Warranty backs that with a non-prorated, lifetime limited 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, adding real resale value. In Lake Elmo's climate of about 81 freeze-thaw days per year and regular precipitation, a roof rated to ICC-ES ESR-1790 standards won't degrade like asphalt (15–20 years) or wood (20–30 years with maintenance). One roof covers your entire ownership; the next owner gets decades of protection too. That's not a marketing claim—it's a financial commitment Interlock stands behind.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or tile?
Virtually none. Interlock aluminum roofing requires no re-coating, re-sealing, or granule replacement—jobs that occupy asphalt owners every few years. Leaves and debris blow off the smooth surface; annual gutters cleaning is all that's needed. If moss develops (rare in Lake Elmo's about 3,110 annual sunshine hours), a light rinse handles it. Wood shakes demand regular treatment to resist rot and insects, especially during the region's 81 freeze-thaw days. Tile requires mortar repair and broken-piece replacement. Interlock's aluminum surface is maintenance-free, the Alunar coating is warranted 30 years, and the interlocking design sheds snow and water naturally. Over a 50-year lifespan, you'll spend thousands less on repairs than any competitor material.
Is metal roofing worth the upfront cost versus asphalt shingles?
Yes, when you look at the full cost over the roof's life. Asphalt lasts 15–20 years and requires tear-off, disposal, and reinstallation twice or three times before you reach 50 years. Each cycle costs $8,000–$15,000+. Interlock installs once—often over your existing roof, saving tear-off labor—and is still protecting your home after 50 years with zero re-roofing projects. Factor in Lake Elmo's 843 mm annual rainfall and 94 cm snow: weather accelerates asphalt failure. Add the non-prorated lifetime warranty, potential insurance discounts for Class 4 hail protection, and the complete absence of maintenance costs, and the aluminum roof becomes the cheaper choice over your lifetime. It's the last roof you buy.
Can a metal roof actually lower cooling costs in summer?
Yes. Interlock's energy-efficient colors have thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (measured, rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council), meaning they reflect heat that dark asphalt absorbs. In Lake Elmo, with about 3,110 annual sunshine hours, a reflective aluminum roof stays cooler than shingles, which reduces heat gain into your attic and lower cooling demand on hot days. Summer temperatures matter less here than in southern states, but spring and fall heat can still drive AC costs up; energy-efficiency colors minimize that load. The benefit compounds over decades: lower cooling energy use means lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact compared to asphalt, which converts sunlight to heat and radiates it into your home and the neighborhood.
