Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Kernville, Oregon
| 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:
The rep was very good.
After considering several different types of roofs and several different roofing companies for our house on the Oregon coast, we settled on Interlock Metal Roofing. We were not disappointed. Although it took about 8 months for the installation to happen due to weather, crew availability, and supply chain issues, it was worth the wait. The roof is beautiful and will last for many, many years. In addition, having the company that makes the roofing materials do the installation means that you have expert people installing the roof backed by expert people who know the product. We went with the Interlock Slate roof in black. It's stunning! Along with durability, the roof dresses up an otherwise plain house. An Interlock Metal Roof is not inexpensive. The cost can be a bit of a shock at first. But it's well worth the money. Positive, Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Services: Roof installation
Scheduling the installation was a real bear; it kept getting delayed. Ultimately, it took 9 months from when we put our deposit down to when the roof was installed. That said, the installers were top-notch. They were quick, clean, polite, and answered all our questions. We absolutely love the roof and the two solar tubes they installed. Our neighbors all rave about how nice the house looks. They can't believe it is a metal roof. (We had the metal "cedar shake" style installed in charcoal gray.) I would definitely recommend them, but be patient with scheduling.PositiveQuality, ProfessionalismServicesAttic venting repairs, Roof installation, Skylight installation
We are very happy with all our interactions and the quality of the product.
We were given a firm install date and cleared our schedule for a week to be there as requested. A representative of Interlock called on the confirmed date to say they couldn't start for at least another week. Again, this wouldn't have been a problem if we lived there full time. However, when the contract gives a specific time period of install, it would be good practice to follow it, especially when the roof is for a second home. The roof is installed and it is beautiful. Thank you Interlock!!!
We cannot begin to tell you how thoroughly satisfied we are, with not only our beautiful new slate roof, but every employee we had interaction with from start to finish.Mike and Damon were our first introduction to this company. They were polite, professional, informative and thorough in their presentation.Next we had several (over the phone) encounters with May. She worked diligently and professionally in getting our job scheduled between the time frame we needed.Now come the installers, Peter and Victor. These brothers are hard working, VERY knowledgeable, professional men with the highest of integrity. They started the job late (after coming from another job some distance away) the first evening, worked until dark. They returned the next morning, early, and put in 12 hours of work. (Again until just before dark)Came back and did an amazing job cleaning up everything!This is a quality product and a quality installation from a quality company we would recommend at any time.Thank you Interlock Industries, Inc. You have given these satisfied customers piece of mind in knowing we have a beautiful, lifetime roof.PositiveResponsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, ValueServicesRoof installation
The dog walkers in the area love the roof. We had a torrential rain/windstorm so I checked the chimney pipe and there was no water so I know it's sealed tightly.
At this time, as noted below, with the lack of concern for the issues caused when it rains, even if a friend asks, the recommendation would come with a warning on how follow-ups are absent Followed up when a problem arose We have called a number of times to have three issues addressed that are problems. We did not know there was a problem until it rained and called immediately and a number of times. Left messages, and sent photos and videos of the issues. I believe it was April 6th when I called last, to Damien, to see if he could put a fire under someone and he did have another senior member call that afternoon. He said he would have the roofers come back to make corrections. Here it is a month later and we still have not seen or heard from anyone and the problems have not corrected themselves. We took care of a full payment and did our part. We are extremely disappointed with the seemingly lack of concern especially after spending over $50,000!!
N/a. The video was nice but that should be available on the website in entirety. We already knew we wanted the roof but just wanted to physically see the materials and samples and have a conversation/ask questions.One thing that needs to happen is the cost has to come down, i really believe in the product and feel this type of roof should displace composition roofs.
I live in a forest near the Oregon Coast. The original reason I wanted to purchase a metal roof was basically for fire prevention. Composition shingles are the worst type of roof you can have when living in a forested area; metal roofs are the best. On September 11, 1992 I was on the island of Kauai, Hawaii when Hurricane Iniki, a Category-5 hurricane, took a direct hit. For our emergency shelter, we took refuge at the newly built Kauai Community College. We were told it had been built to hurricane standards and was safe. The college had a metal roof made of long slates stretching from the top to bottom. As the hurricane grew in strength, I watched the " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">slate at one side of the building starting to flap…then flap more and more until it went flying into the air. Then, I watched the slate next to it do the same. This went on and on. When the eye of the hurricane went over us and everything slowed down, the people in that building rushed over to our building. For some reason our building’s roof held. Living on the Oregon Coast we get high winds every year. When I was informed about how the Interlock roof is tied together, I was sold on purchasing that style. Now, my roof can withstand up to a 180 per hour wind gust. I also like it’s look. After it was installed I sent a photo to a friend and her reaction was: “I thought you were going to buy a metal roof.” The roof even has a slate look to it. I used to own a business where we sent installation crews all across the country to install our multiple-run kennels. I know the importance of having a crew that knows what they are doing and are good representatives of our business. I give the Interlock installation crew an A+. They not only know what they are doing, but they are HARD WORKERS as well. On my job they went way beyond just roofing my house. They tore out the dilapidated structure around my chimney and built me a completely new one. They also added new flashing at the bottom of my roof windows, so I no longer have a problem with runoff ruining my wooden frame. I now have a new roof that will last much longer than me. It has added value to my home and peace of mind to me. When considering a new roof, I highly recommend Interlock.
Closer communications between me and Joe Cutrone. It took a long time to get this finished...but it was well worth the wait. I sent Ross a letter highly recommending Interlock.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Kernville
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Kernville, Oregon. 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 Kernville.
How does a metal roof handle snow and ice in Kernville's winters?
Interlock panels shed snow and ice effectively because aluminum's smooth surface and four-way interlocking design prevent the buildup that causes ice dams on asphalt. With about 32 cm of snow per year and roughly 8 freeze-thaw cycles annually in your area, that constant expansion and contraction is exactly where metal roofs outperform. The panels won't split, curl, or crack from temperature swings the way traditional materials do, and you can add snow guards if you want to manage roof-slide on steeper pitches. Aluminum's non-porous surface sheds meltwater instantly.
Will a metal roof rust in Kernville's wet climate?
No—aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. Instead, it develops a protective oxide layer that actually self-heals when scratched. Kernville averages nearly 1900 mm of rain yearly, so corrosion resistance matters, and that's where aluminum beats steel roofing every time. Every Interlock panel is coated with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon on both sides, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading under your actual weather. That dual-sided coating is especially valuable in damp maritime climates where moisture attacks from above and below.
Can Interlock panels withstand Kernville's wind gusts?
Yes. Interlock panels are warranted to resist winds up to 120 mph, and your area experiences typical gusts around 139 km/h (86 mph) with rare extremes beyond that. The four-way interlocking system locks each panel to its neighbors, distributing wind load across the entire roof rather than relying on fasteners alone. This mechanical engagement is why ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (reissued 2025 for IBC/IRC compliance) specifically validates Interlock's performance in high-wind zones. Your existing roof structure won't need reinforcement, and the panels' ultralight weight—about 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Shingle profile—means wind has less leverage.
What's the hail rating on Interlock metal roofing, and can it lower my insurance?
Interlock panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. That elite rating often qualifies homeowners for insurance discounts because underwriters know the roof won't fail in severe hail. While Oregon's Lincoln County doesn't experience Denver-scale hail, the Class 4 rating gives you armor-grade protection and proof of that protection on paper when your insurer reviews your file. Many carriers recognize this and adjust premiums accordingly; contact your agent with the UL 2218 documentation.
Will a metal roof actually lower my cooling costs in this climate?
Your Kernville home receives about 3097 sunshine hours per year, and energy-efficient Interlock colors with solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) bounce that heat back rather than absorb it the way asphalt does. Reflectance of 0.55 means roughly 55% of solar radiation bounces away, keeping attic temperatures lower and reducing cooling-season load on your HVAC. The panel's thermal emissivity is 0.84, verified by the Cool Roof Rating Council, which means it radiates stored heat efficiently once the sun sets. Over a 40-year roof life, those energy savings compound—especially valuable if you ever install solar panels, since a cooler roof improves their efficiency too.
Is metal roofing worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Metal costs more upfront but replaces the tear-off-and-replace cycle entirely. An asphalt roof needs replacement every 15–20 years; Interlock carries a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner and remains transferable for 50 years from completion, giving your next owner 50 years of coverage. That means one metal roof over Kernville's 50-year period versus two or three asphalt replacements, plus labor, disposal, and disruption multiplied. Current financing—no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation—eliminates the affordability objection. The math favors metal when you stop counting by the year and start counting by the decade.
How long does it take to install Interlock metal roofing, and do you have to tear off my old roof?
Interlock panels install directly over your existing roof in most cases because they're extraordinarily lightweight—the Tile profile is roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so structural reinforcement is rarely needed. Installation typically takes a few days depending on roof size and pitch, and avoiding a full tear-off saves thousands in labor and disposal costs. Four-way interlocking means each panel locks to its neighbors, creating a unified system faster than fastening individual shingles. Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc. has served the region since 1997, so they know Kernville conditions and can walk you through the timeline on your specific home before work begins.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood shakes?
Interlock aluminum requires virtually no maintenance—no seasonal inspections, no resealing, no fungicide treatments, no splitting repairs like wood shake demands. Asphalt shingles deteriorate visibly within 10 years in climates like yours with nearly 1900 mm annual rainfall and freeze-thaw stress; Interlock panels resist that degradation because aluminum doesn't absorb water and the Alunar coating (30-year warranty) protects against the weathering that causes asphalt to chalk and curl. CALGreen verification confirms that Interlock delivers reduced maintenance burden compared to traditional materials. Occasional leaf cleanup in your gutters is your only real task—the roof itself stays inert.
Can I get a metal roof that looks like slate, shingles, or tile?
Interlock offers five profiles—Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile—each engineered to match traditional materials' appearance while delivering aluminum's durability. The Slate profile replicates natural stone's visual weight without slate's actual weight (which would require structural bracing). Cedar Shingle and Shake profiles deliver wood's textural charm without rot, split, or fungal issues that plague real wood in Kernville's wet 1900 mm rainfall zone. Mediterranean Tile echoes clay and concrete tiles' architectural character while being 96% lighter and eliminating the structural reinforcement those materials demand. Standing Seam suits modern and contemporary homes. All profiles come in multiple colors, so you choose the aesthetic that fits your home and neighborhood.
Is metal roofing actually better for the environment than asphalt shingles?
Yes. Interlock panels are approximately 95% recyclable aluminum, ending the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle that happens every 15–20 years. Over a typical Oregon homeowner's lifetime, choosing metal means one roof that never lands in a landfill, versus multiple asphalt replacements that do. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable without quality loss, so your old roof becomes new aluminum products indefinitely. Manufactured in Delta, BC since 1998 and installed worldwide—from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations—Interlock has proven durability that justifies the material investment from an environmental perspective. CALGreen verification confirms the reduced-maintenance, extended-life benefits that make metal roofing the lower-impact choice over decades.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Kernville’s climate?
Yes. Kernville averages about 32 cm of snow, 1898 mm of rain, roughly 8 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 139 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.
