Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Shorewood, 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 Shorewood
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Shorewood, 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 Shorewood.
How does a metal roof handle Minnesota snow and ice with about 95 cm falling each winter?
Metal roofs shed snow more effectively than asphalt because the smooth, hard surface offers less friction for ice and snow to grip. Interlock panels are four-way interlocking, which prevents panels from lifting in wind gusts that reach 94 km/h in Shorewood. The lightweight design—as light as 0.41 lb/sq ft for Shingle profiles—means no structural risk even under heavy snow loads, unlike slate or tile. Snow guards can be added where desired. The real advantage over 79 annual freeze-thaw cycles: aluminum's oxide layer self-heals when expanded ice scratches it, preventing the rust issues that plague steel roofs in wet-freeze climates.
Why do freeze-thaw cycles in Hennepin County matter for my roof material choice?
Shorewood experiences roughly 79 freeze-thaw days per year—where water enters cracks, freezes, expands, and cracks materials further. Asphalt shingles and wood shake both absorb moisture and degrade under this stress; the material fractures and curls. Aluminum cannot absorb water and contains no iron, so it cannot rust or rot, even when saturated during snow melt or the 796 mm of annual rainfall. The Alunar® 70% PVDF coating protects both sides of every panel, warranted 30 years against chalking. Over decades, this immunity to freeze-thaw damage means your roof doesn't deteriorate—it just reflects the sun and sheds water year after year.
Can a metal roof rust in Minnesota's wet climate?
Only steel rusts; aluminum cannot. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209), which contains no iron. When aluminum is scratched or exposed, a new oxide layer forms automatically, sealing the metal beneath—a process called self-healing that requires no maintenance. Steel roofs, by contrast, expose bare iron when damaged, and Shorewood's 796 mm annual rain and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate rust through the material. Interlock's Alunar® coating (applied to both sides) adds 30-year durability against fading and chalking, but even if the coating chips, the aluminum base remains protected. This is why Interlock roofs install from salty coastal homes to Antarctica—the material simply does not corrode.
Will a metal roof stay put in Minnesota wind and storms?
Shorewood wind gusts reach 94 km/h regularly, which is well within the warranty range of Interlock roofs. The panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification, thanks to four-way mechanical interlocking that locks each panel to its neighbors. This interlocking prevents wind lift, edge flutter, and panel separation—problems that plague single-lock or fastener-dependent systems. The lightweight design (Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft) means wind force is low, but the locking geometry is what matters: when one panel tries to lift, it's physically held by the adjacent four. That combination of light weight, rigid geometry, and positive mechanical lock is why Interlock panels survive 120 mph hurricane winds and Shorewood's winter gusts equally well.
Does a metal roof reduce hail damage risk and insurance costs?
Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. In Minnesota's thunderstorm seasons, that rating matters: Class 4 aluminum roofs often qualify for homeowner insurance discounts because they resist damage better than asphalt shingles, which dent, bruise, and lose granules under hail impact. A single severe hail event can end an asphalt roof's life and trigger claims; aluminum's non-combustible, impact-resistant surface typically survives unscathed. Some insurers recognize this and adjust premiums accordingly. Check with your agent, but the combination of Class 4 impact rating and lifetime limited warranty (zero deductible for material defects) makes the roof itself a long-term damage buffer.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile, for instance, weighs only 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Even the heavier Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft is less than a quarter the weight of traditional tile. This means Interlock installs directly over your existing asphalt roof without tearing off or adding support beams, saving thousands in labor and structural work. With about 95 cm of snow per winter in Shorewood, the lightweight aluminum carries snow loads safely; the critical factor is proper fastening and panel interlocking, not structural mass. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 confirms compliance with IBC and IRC codes, including load ratings for your region.
How much maintenance does a metal roof actually need?
Interlock roofs require virtually no maintenance. Unlike asphalt shingles, which need periodic inspection for granule loss and replacement after 15–20 years, or wood shake, which requires regular staining and re-nailing, aluminum will not rot, split, curl, or lose impact resistance. A rinse with a garden hose or light pressure wash removes dust and debris annually; that's it. The Alunar® 70% PVDF coating (30-year warranty) resists chalking and fading even under Shorewood's 3,128 sunshine hours per year. The roof self-cleans during the 796 mm of annual rainfall. No caulk, no sealants, no tar—just metal that sheds water and reflects sun for fifty years or longer. This low-maintenance profile is verified by CALGreen standards for reduced maintenance.
Will a metal roof help lower my cooling costs?
Yes, if you select an energy-efficient color. Interlock offers energy-efficiency certified profiles with initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (such as Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning the roof reflects solar heat rather than absorbing it like asphalt. Shorewood receives about 3,128 sunshine hours per year; on warm days, this reflectance reduces attic temperature and cooling load. Lighter colors (like pale gray or copper) perform best, and the Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms performance against industry standards. While Minnesota's heating season is longer than its cooling season, the benefit adds up: every degree of attic cooling saves HVAC runtime in summer and reduces ice dam risk in winter (trapped heat melts roof snow unevenly, creating dams; less heat means fewer dams). energy-efficiency certification makes this measurable, not theoretical.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost over the lifetime of my home?
Yes, because it's typically the last roof you'll buy. Asphalt shingles last 15–20 years in Minnesota's freeze-thaw climate; you may replace them twice before selling. Interlock carries a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and impact resistance. The transferable warranty grants the next owner 50 years of coverage from installation, adding resale appeal. Over 50 years, one aluminum roof outpaces two or three asphalt roofs in combined material and labor cost, plus disposal fees. Aluminum is 95% recyclable, eliminating landfill costs at end-of-life; asphalt shingles create persistent waste. The real value is simplicity: no tear-offs, no surprise failures during freeze cycles or hail seasons, and no maintenance spend.
How long does it take to install a metal roof in Shorewood?
Installation timeline depends on roof size and weather, typically three to seven business days for a standard home. Because Interlock panels install over most existing asphalt roofs without tear-off, labor is faster and cleaner than traditional re-roofing. No debris truck, no exposure of roof decking—just panel layout, fastening, and interlocking. The four-way locking system means each panel seats into its neighbors with no shimming or adjustment; installers work efficiently even in Shorewood's variable weather. Interlock has served the region since 2001, and the local team knows Minnesota conditions: they schedule around the spring thaw, summer storms, and fall preparation. Your installer will provide a precise timeline during the site visit, accounting for roof complexity, existing condition, and current weather patterns.
