Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Salem, 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:
Jared form Interlock was great. Very detail oriented and thorough explaining all the types of roofing offered and providing us with a comprehensive estimate. If looking for a new roof. Dont hesitate, give them a call.
We are extremely pleased with the quality, appearance and fast installation of our new Interlock roof. The crew did awesome work and were friendly and careful. We feel so much safer with the protection of our metal roof on our home, which is surrounded by beautiful fir trees.
I am likely to recommend Interlock Roofing to a friend because it looks great. Interlock Roofing could have improved the notification of changes in timing, that would have been appreciated. We are really pleased with the way the roof looks, we've gotten a number of comments from neighbors about the attractiveness of the roof, and we're looking forward to years of good service.
I had a "slate style" metal roof installed by Interlock Roofing and these guys are great! They were so polite and fast, they got my whole roof done in just two days and cleaned up the site perfectly. I would highly recommend them. Positive, Professionalism, Services: Roof installation
Roof is great. Communication with customers!!!!!!
Update on my Interlock Roof System. I encourage you to read all of this review, because it has a very important element to it, and it might surprise you.I had the roof installed 2 years ago, & as noted in my original review below, the subcontractor at that time was less than attentive. Turns out, his crew was, too. In late 2020, there was a pretty significant leak into the kitchen from the sola tube, which prompted a repair call. The responses from customer service were a bit iffy, but Ivan (super knowledgeable guy) came out to inspect the leaks. At that time he also investigated the leaking behind the gutters & facia boards that had been happening right from the beginning. Apparently there was excessive condensation happening above and below the waterproofing, & it was a mystery why that was happening. It took two attempts to fix the leak into the kitchen, & a few more inspections to investigate the failing roof. There several visits and emails, & finally, in early 2021, I found it necessary to formally executed a warranty claim on the roof to HQ in Canada. I expected resistance.Here is the great part. Not only did Interlock Roofing take my warranty claim seriously, having Ivan come back yet again & open up a portion of the roof to inspect further; Mr. Yvon Giroux, VP of Installation in Canada, decided to have his best crew come out & completely tear off not only the Interlock Roof, but the asphalt roof underneath it as well, & start from absolute scratch. A fully new installation.To no one's surprise, they found mistakes were done by the first subcontracting crew (who didn't work for Interlock very long that year). I can tell you, the crew that came out last week were top notch. I haven't seen that amount of dedicated hard work in a very long time. It was obvious right from the start this crew was knowledgeable & well polished.I am so impressed with the Interlock Roofing System, the Company, and their integrity! The tear off, any repairs, & full installation was done in 2 days. Right after, we had several days of heavy rain. Not. One. Drip. Anywhere.The roof is even more attractive and beautiful than before. Interlock earned every one of their 5 stars. The roof is amazing, and I am one very satisfied customer.\*\*Original Review\*\*The roof is amazing. It looks great and the neighbors compliment it all the time. Big bonus is I have hardly used my air conditioning at all this year. What Interlock told me appears to be pretty spot on as far as the roof keeping the house cooler during hot weather. And finally, I really enjoy not having to get up on the roof several times a year to maintain it, knowing it is going to outlast me.The company was very gentle with us when we asked to postpone our fall scheduled installation for a few months due to a series of deaths, and as soon as weather permitted in the spring, we had the roof installed.The only thing that I was not thrilled about was when the installers arrived, I found out they were not employed by Interlock, as we were led to believe when we signed the contract last year. Quite honestly, had I known the installation was sub-contracted out, it would have been a deal breaker and I wouldn't have signed the contract. The sub-contractor was often busy with his other business needs and wasn't always on site during the installation. I understand his crew might only work on Interlock installations, but the owner of the contracting business was not solely dedicated to Interlock. He was a really nice guy, but not super attentive to my questions or concerns, which came back to haunt him later. I had requested a customer service follow-up after the installation that took a couple of months to have my concerned addressed fully.The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the sub-contractor instead of employees for the install, and the fact the customer service response was pretty slow. In the end, Interlock made good on everything. I still recommend them as a company, and I definitely recommend the roof. Services: Roof inspection, Roof installation, Roof repair
Looks great,unlike the common metal roofs you see.And being aluminum it won't rust out. Recently we had freezing rain which caused some tree limbs to break off and fall from a tree close to our house which demolished one gutter and part of another one,also partially smashing a roof vent ; but the metal roof held up supprisingly well. We also had a forest fire this past summer before putting this roof on that came close.A metal roof is just a little more deterent you can add against such events.5 stars. Damon,the installers,and everyone at interlock were wonderful and easy to work with. THANKS . Positive, Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value, Services: Roof installation
We had our roof replaced about 1.5 years ago with Interlock and the experience was amazing. They were easy to schedule, matched their estimate to the cent, helped us find a great financing company, and were ahead of schedule. The whole process from meeting & picking from a great selection to watching them tear down layers of shingles and apply a seamless roof was impressively efficient. It still looks amazing, and we’ve had no problems. I’d highly recommend them & their products. Our house is a ton lighter, easier to maintain and is more efficient to heat & cool. Great product, great selection, and great company overall. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Value
Excellent product and insulation was also excellent. I would recommend this product as the last roof your house will ever need. The fir needles wash off with a good rain and the slate roof looks just like slate. AAA+++
I love the design of interlok and how thoughtful the details are. It is a great product. I will consider interlok in the future.
We has specific delivery instructions of where to place materials. The driver delivered them to the wrong place but came back to move them to where we needed them upon my call to Interlock.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Salem
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Salem, 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 Salem.
Why won't my metal roof rust like steel roofing does?
Aluminum contains no iron, so it physically cannot rust. Instead, it develops a thin oxide layer that actually heals itself when scratched. Our panels use roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy, plus a Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating on both sides for extra durability in Salem's 1329 mm annual rainfall. This dual protection means your roof stays corrosion-free for decades, not years.
How much lighter is a metal tile roof than real tile?
Our Mediterranean Tile profile weighs about 0.59 lb per square foot—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. That's the difference between a feather and a brick. For Salem homes, this matters: no expensive structural reinforcement needed, and installation typically happens over your existing roof without tearing off asphalt first. The Shake profile runs 0.58 lb/sq ft; even our Cedar Shingle at 0.41 lb/sq ft outperforms heavy materials.
Can a metal roof handle Salem's winter wind gusts?
Salem sees typical gusts reaching 111 km/h, and our four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to spec. The interlocking design means panels lock together mechanically, spreading wind load across the entire roof rather than letting individual pieces lift. During the 39 freeze-thaw days Salem experiences yearly, that locked system stays tight while asphalt becomes brittle and lifts.
With Salem getting 1329 mm of rain yearly, will water leak through metal panels?
No. Metal roofing is engineered to shed water, not hold it. Our four-way interlocking system creates channels that direct rain downward; there's no horizontal surface for water to pool or penetrate. Salem's heavy rainfall actually highlights a metal roof's advantage: while asphalt absorbs water and degrades over decades, aluminum simply sheds it. Proper underlayment and installation seal any micro-gaps—the same way commercial metal roofs have protected buildings for over a century.
Does hail damage metal roofing, and can I get an insurance break?
Our 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. Many insurers recognize this durability and offer premium discounts. Class 4 means the product withstands impact from the largest hail most areas see. Salem's climate doesn't feature extreme hail, but the superior impact resistance still translates to lower claims risk in the eyes of insurance companies, sometimes offsetting your premium.
Will a metal roof help lower cooling costs in Salem's 3000+ annual sunshine hours?
Yes. Our energy-efficient colors reflect solar heat rather than absorb it, with thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55. Salem averages about 3054 sunshine hours per year, and that reflection adds up. Asphalt shingles absorb heat and transfer it into your attic; a reflective metal roof keeps that energy outside. The Cool Roof Rating Council has verified our performance—you'll see lower air-conditioning loads on hot days.
How much maintenance does a metal roof actually need?
Virtually none compared to asphalt, wood, or clay tile. Our aluminum panels won't rot, split, curl, or lose impact resistance over time. No annual inspections for missing shingles or moss growth. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading, so you're not repainting. Salem's 39 annual freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion-contraction on asphalt and wood; aluminum flexes without damage. Most owners simply inspect gutters and clear debris—that's it.
What's the real warranty on Interlock metal roofing, and does it transfer?
The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years of coverage from completion. That's genuinely different from prorated warranties that drop value yearly. For Salem homeowners, this means if you sell, the metal roof becomes a major selling point backed by real protection the new owner can count on.
Is metal roofing fire-safe in Oregon?
Yes. Our aluminum panels are non-combustible and available with a Class A fire classification—the highest rating. They meet ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (IBC/IRC, reissued 2025) and are CALGreen-verified. In Salem's mixed-density neighborhoods, a non-combustible roof is a genuine asset during wildfire season. Unlike asphalt shingles or wood shakes, aluminum won't ignite or spread flame, which matters for property protection and often appeals to insurers and home-buyers alike.

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.
