Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Sciota 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 Sciota Township
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Sciota 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 Sciota Township.
How does a metal roof handle Minnesota snow and ice buildup?
Metal roofing sheds snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt because the smooth, hard surface doesn't trap moisture the way granulated shingles do. In Sciota Township, where you see about 96 cm of snow annually and roughly 82 freeze-thaw days per year, that constant cycling would degrade asphalt quickly — but aluminum's oxide layer self-heals from freeze-thaw stress. The four-way interlocking panels are warranted to 120 mph winds, so they handle the uplift forces as snow slides. Snow guards are available if you want to control the slide pattern.
Why won't a metal roof rust in Minnesota winters?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron — the element that oxidizes into rust. Instead, aluminum forms a thin, invisible oxide layer that actually protects the metal underneath. If that layer is scratched, it self-heals automatically. Sciota Township gets about 831 mm of rain yearly, and the Alunar 70% PVDF coating on both panel sides (warranted 30 years against chalking) adds another barrier. This dual protection is why Interlock panels are installed everywhere from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations.
Will freeze-thaw cycling crack or warp my metal roof panels?
No — aluminum's material properties actually improve under freeze-thaw stress. With about 82 freeze-thaw days per year in Sciota Township, the roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) is engineered to expand and contract without permanent deformation. The four-way interlocking system accommodates micro-movement between panels, and the Alunar coating (applied to both sides) prevents water penetration that causes the cracking you see in asphalt after multiple freeze-thaw cycles. This is why the warranty covers cracking and splitting.
Can metal roofing handle the wind gusts we get here?
Absolutely. Sciota Township experiences gusts up to about 97 km/h (60 mph), and your metal roof is warranted to resist winds of 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels lock together tightly, so wind cannot peel or lift individual shingles the way it does with asphalt. The panels themselves weigh as little as 0.41 lb/sq ft (Shingle profile), so there's minimal lever arm for wind to exploit, and no structural reinforcement is needed.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for a metal roof?
Not typically. The Interlock Mediterranean Tile profile, which replicates the heaviest traditional roofing material, weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft — roughly 96% lighter than actual concrete or clay tile. Most existing roofs can support this without reinforcement. Your current asphalt shingles likely weigh more than aluminum roofing, so you're actually removing weight stress from your home's framing. Interlock installs directly over existing roofs in most cases, which saves both money and labor compared to full tear-offs.
What's the hail rating, and could it lower my insurance premiums?
Interlock metal roofing carries UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating — the highest available — and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. In a region like Dakota County where hail risk exists, this durability often qualifies homeowners for insurance discounts on comprehensive or homeowners policies. You should contact your insurer once installation is complete with the product documentation; many carriers recognize Class 4 as a premium reduction factor. The non-combustible aluminum also qualifies for Class A fire ratings, which some insurers credit as well.
How long will the roof last, and what does the warranty actually cover?
The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner — it covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. That's one warranty that never reduces in value over time. If you sell your home, the warranty is one-time transferable to the next owner for 50 years from completion, which adds significant resale appeal. The Alunar coating itself carries a separate 30-year warranty against chalking and fading (measured to ASTM D4214 and D2244 standards), so your roof's appearance is protected independently of the structure.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or tile?
Interlock metal roofing requires minimal maintenance — no annual inspections for cracking shingles, no debris removal from failing granules, and no moss treatment like wood shake needs. Sciota Township receives about 831 mm of rain yearly, which naturally cleans the roof surface. You might rinse off leaves twice a year in autumn, but that's it. Asphalt roofs demand regular inspections and repairs as they age; wood shakes need fungicide treatment; concrete tile cracks and requires re-grouting. CALGreen verification confirms that Interlock qualifies as reduced-maintenance roofing — you're buying the last roof you'll install.
Will a metal roof help with cooling costs or reduce my energy bills?
Yes, if you choose an energy-efficient color. Interlock offers profiles in finishes with thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny profile), rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. These colors reflect heat that asphalt shingles absorb and re-radiate into your attic. Sciota Township receives about 3,138 sunshine hours annually, so summer cooling load is real — reflective metal roofing reduces the temperature differential between roof surface and attic, lowering air-conditioning runtime. Winter heat loss is negligible because the coating works both directions.
Is metal roofing worth the upfront cost over the life of the roof?
Yes, when you account for the full lifecycle. An asphalt roof typically lasts 15-20 years in Minnesota's climate and requires tear-off disposal every time — you'll install two or three asphalt roofs in the time one metal roof lasts. Interlock's non-prorated lifetime warranty, 30-year coating warranty, and transferable 50-year term mean you're eliminating tear-off costs, disposal fees, and the labor cycle. Metal roofing is also ~95% recyclable, so end-of-life recovery value exists. Combined with the ice-dam resistance, minimal maintenance, potential insurance credits (hail and fire), and resale appeal of visible durability, the math favors aluminum when you're keeping your home long-term.
