Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Glen Head, New York
| 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:
I am very disgusted with what happen in terms of what the salesperson told me I was going to get. My neighbor has the same roof and said that he had a good job Interlock was over sold and under delivered in terms of what they promised. I think they could have improved on customer service, follow up, letting the customer know when the start dates change, and the installers should be more prideful in their work. I called back several times about when they were going to start the work. I was told by the contractor that my problems would be forward to the office but no one in the office knew about my problems. I know foresee that I will have issues down the road because it was not put on properly. I think they should do it right the first time and do exactly what they say they will do. Some of my concerns and issues are based on what I have gone through. I don't want anyone else to go through this. I feel that there might be some customers who don't speak up and will just let things slide by and that isn't right. The owner doesn't know what the people are costing his company by the lack of workmanship and quality of work and customer service. When people get this kind of service they will never use that company again. I told Jennifer that they gave me a Mercedes roof but had installers for Ikea install it. My neighbor feels bad for recommending them to me.I work at home and I am most of the time. The last day they completed the job no one told me that it was going to be the last day. I was two hours away when I got the call that it was the last day and they were done and I needed to sign paperwork. He wanted me to walk around the property to look at the work but by the time I got home the sun had already set and I couldn't see anything. I refused to sign off on the work.
I wasted 4 months of my time thinking i will have a beautiful metal roof just to learn that interlock will not be able to do it after all
Interlock Roofing could have improved their communication.
I would love to do it, but I can't justify spending that much money. I love the product, but I'd have to win some money to afford it. I like the sales pitch, and the salesman, but it cost too much. They have a unique product, and the design is good.
We are writing to thank your company for the wonderful new roof installation that we have. It is refreshing in today's business world to be able to have a company say and do exactly what is expected of them. Your sales representative, Robert Allen, was very knowledgeable and informative about the product and the installation of it. He was not an aggressive salesman, which we appreciated. The installers were the BEST! Dmitry, Leonid and Danny were the hardest working men we have ever had work on anything that we have ever had done at our house. They worked every moment that they were here, and the most severe conditions. The job was finished in a timely manor. We definitely will recommend your company to our friends.
I’m not sure who to best direct this letter of appreciation to but I’m assuming it will be shared with Interlock officials. As briefly mentioned in an email to you we are thrilled with everything. From our initial deliberations in choosing Interlock to the completion of the project we have been impressed. We have completed many remodeling projects in our home. Replacing a roof certainly would be considered major. To know that we will not need to worry about replacing it is very comforting, not to mention the impressive appearance and worth it has added to our home and neighborhood. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the extraordinary work and work habits of Nazar. Committed, exacting, attention to detail, particular are words that immediately come to mind. His knowledge and work ethic are off the scale – long work days, mindful of what needs doing next (particularly with vagaries of spring weather) are noteworthy. He’s a gem you can absolutely depend on. We await our first major nasty weather event to put this all to test – one that we were very confident about. Thank you once again. It is reassuring to know we will benefit so nicely from the superior workmanship and quality of the roofing products.
My wife and I wanted you to know that we are very pleased with the new Interlock shingle roof recently installed on our twenty year old home. The color matches the rest of our home and the shingles look tremendous. While we knew we needed a new roof and we we looked at a number of different options and contractors, we believed that selecting your company was without a doubt a winner in every respect. We became aware of your product through the website of the ">Metal Roofing Alliance that led us to your company's own web page. Subsequently, we met with Mr. Robert Allen, Regional Marketing Coordinator of New York's Best Roof, Inc., who fully addressed all of our questions and was readily available throughout the process. Installation was also handled in a very professional manner, and we could not ask for better assistance from either Mr. Allen or the installation crew of New York's Best Roof, Inc. We look forward to many happy years under the security of our new aluminum shingle roof, and would gladly recommend your product and the team from New York's Best Roof, Inc. to anyone. We are also very pleased with the energy savings, maintenance free characteristics and environmentally friendly aspects of our new ">aluminum roof.
To: Interlock / New York's Best Roof My husband and I wanted to write to you to let you know how pleased we are with our entire experience working with Interlock. We now have a beautiful new roof and the process was totally professional and first rate. We first learned about Interlock from information received in the mail. However Mr. Robert Allen, our sales coordinator, gave a very thorough, knowledgeable presentation of the roofing product, answering our questions, showing samples and leaving us with written materials we could look over at our leisure. Mr. Allen was always a phone call away to answer our questions, returning our calls if not the same day certainly with a 24-hour period. Once we decided to purchase an Interlock roof, the time frame spelled out in the contract was adhered to. Financing was available and Mr. Patrick Doyle worked very diligently to get us the best rate of interest available to us. Whatever concerns we had were addressed and the paperwork was simple and straightforward. The installment crew was professional, courteous and hardworking. Our roof was done in 2 1/2 days and clean-up was always done at the end of each day. The crew always spoke with my husband in a polite, unobtrusive manner and did whatever it took to make the installation as easy as possible. Now not only do we have a great looking roof with a 50-year " title="warranty" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty, we also bought a great product. The roofing itself creates minimal waste and is recyclable. It reflects the sun in the summer so our air conditioning works more efficiently. In the winter we no longer have to snow rake the roof, the snow melts off automatically. Our house now seems quieter, even our 14 year old son remarked he didn't know it was raining until the rain hit the windows. Our new roof gives our house a more finished look and according to our tax expert, ">metal roofs are tax-deductible! My husband and I can not only say enough positive things about interlock. We would highly recommend their product and company to anyone considering a new roof. Drive by and see the finished product!

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Glen Head
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Glen Head, New York. 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 Glen Head.
Will an aluminum roof hold up through Glen Head's freeze-thaw winters?
Yes. Aluminum expands and contracts with temperature swings, but 3105-H24 alloy is engineered to flex without cracking or warping—the reason Interlock panels have survived Antarctic research stations and coastal salt-air climates for over 25 years. Glen Head experiences about 66 freeze-thaw cycles annually across mean temperatures of 12.1°C, which is well within the material's design envelope. The roofing-grade alloy has no iron content, so it cannot rust even as moisture penetrates micro-cracks during cycling. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating, warranted 30 years, protects against oxidation accelerated by repeated freezing.
How does a metal roof handle Glen Head's snow load and ice dams?
Metal's smooth, slick surface sheds snow and ice faster than asphalt, reducing ice-dam formation along the eaves. Glen Head averages about 63 centimeters of snow yearly; the four-way interlocking panel design locks each sheet to its neighbors, so snow movement cannot separate seams or lift edges. Snow guards (optional add-on) can be installed to control avalanche if you prefer slower shedding. The Guardian warranty covers snow-load damage, and because Interlock panels weigh only 0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft (96% lighter than concrete or clay tile), your existing framing handles the snow load without reinforcement, even when wet and heavy.
Can an aluminum roof rust in Glen Head's wet climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes into rust. Instead, aluminum develops a microscopic oxide layer that actually protects the metal beneath; if scratched, this layer self-heals when exposed to air. Glen Head's 1251 millimeters of annual rainfall and occasional salt spray (coastal proximity) are conditions where steel would corrode rapidly, but aluminum thrives. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating on both sides of each panel adds a second barrier against moisture, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading per ASTM standards. This dual-layer protection is why Interlock panels have been installed in salt-air environments for over two decades without corrosion.
What's the hail rating on this roof, and could it lower my insurance?
Interlock panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This rating reflects genuine durability: the panels have endured hail across multiple climate zones. Many insurers recognize Class 4 ratings and offer premium discounts or credits on metal roofs, though your specific savings depend on your policy and carrier. Contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 certificate to explore available discounts. Given Glen Head's gust peaks around 135 kilometers per hour and the role hail plays in severe wind events, the impact resistance provides measurable peace of mind and potential financial benefit.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's Slate profile installs at 0.41 lb/sq ft, Shake at 0.58, and Tile at 0.59—about 96% lighter than genuine concrete or clay tile. Most homes can support this weight without modification. Interlock is often installed directly over existing asphalt shingles, so you avoid the cost and mess of a tear-off; the panels fasten to your existing roof deck. The four-way interlocking system distributes wind loads across the entire panel field (important for Glen Head's gusts to 135 km/h), and the design is code-compliant under ICC-ES ESR-1790, meaning building inspectors recognize it as engineered for your local conditions.
Will an aluminum roof stay on in Glen Head's windstorms?
The warranty guarantees resistance to wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h), and the four-way interlocking design locks every panel to its neighbors on all four sides, so they cannot separate or lift individually. Glen Head's typical wind gusts reach 135 kilometers per hour—below the 193 km/h warranty threshold—but the interlocking geometry ensures even extreme gusts grip the entire roof as a single unit rather than stressing isolated fastener points. Installation must follow Interlock's spec sheet (fastening pattern, deck prep, flashing detail), which your local installer, Interlock Roofing of America, has executed since 2014. Proper installation to spec is the foundation of the warranty's wind protection.
Is an aluminum roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Aluminum costs more initially, but it's the last roof you buy. Asphalt typically lasts 15–25 years; you will reroof twice or thrice in 50 years, paying labor and waste-disposal costs each time. An Interlock roof carries a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—and one transfer to the next owner (50-year term from completion). Over 50 years, the math favors metal: one installation versus two or three, no landfill fees, no roofing-removal labor multiplied. The Alunar coating is warranted 30 years against fading, so color stays vibrant across Glenn Head's 3115 annual sunshine hours. Energy-efficient profiles (energy-efficient) also reduce cooling costs, offsetting some upfront expense over the roof's lifetime.
Will an aluminum roof reduce my cooling costs?
energy-efficient colors reflect solar heat rather than absorb it; Aged Copper Penny, for example, achieves initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, so it rejects heat that dark asphalt absorbs and re-radiates into the attic. Glen Head receives about 3115 hours of sunshine annually, so even modest reflection reduces air-conditioning runtime and cost. Metal's smooth surface does not trap heat the way granular asphalt does. Your exact savings depend on your home's size, insulation, and cooling habits, but the Cool Roof Rating Council has validated these profiles' energy benefit. Paired with proper ventilation, reflective metal roofing can lower peak attic temperature by 20–30 degrees Fahrenheit compared to conventional roofing.
How much maintenance does an aluminum roof really need?
Minimal. Aluminum does not split, crack, or curl like asphalt and wood shakes. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating resists fading and chalking over 30 years, so you won't see color degradation even under Glen Head's 3115 annual sunshine hours and 1251 millimeters of rain. Routine maintenance is seasonal debris removal from gutters and valleys—the same task any roof requires. There is no moss or algae treatment, no shingle replacement, no tar-sealing. The CALGreen verification confirms Interlock panels' reduced-maintenance design, meaning building authorities recognize fewer upkeep burdens. Compare this to asphalt (granule loss, seasonal maintenance), wood (regular sealing, rot risk), or tile (grout joints, moss, breakage), and aluminum's simplicity becomes clear over the roof's 50+ year life.
Who installs Interlock roofs in Glen Head, and how long does the job take?
Interlock Roofing of America serves Glen Head and Nassau County with installations since 2014, bringing a decade of local experience to your project. The timeline depends on your home's size and whether you're installing over existing asphalt (faster, no tear-off) or bare deck, but most residential projects complete within a few days. The four-way interlocking system and lightweight profile (0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft) allow faster roof coverage than traditional shingles, reducing labor hours and weather exposure. Your local installer can assess your roof's current condition, advise whether a tear-off is necessary, and provide a detailed schedule. Contact Interlock Roofing of America for a site visit and quote tailored to your home and Glen Head's local code requirements under ICC-ES ESR-1790.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Glen Head’s climate?
Yes. Glen Head averages about 63 cm of snow, 1251 mm of rain, roughly 66 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 135 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.
