Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Fairlawn, Rhode Island
| 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:
None that I can think of. I'm so excited to see how the new roof handles heavy snow and storms. So far the skies haven't given me the chance, but I'm looking forward to a Big Storm for the first time in years.
I did not appreciate the salesman being condescending to the Asphalt Roofing Trade.
We just had the completion of our new roof. We are happy at how professional the job looks, and how the Interlock material gives the house a different look. It's a very good looking rich roof, we love the way the aluminum pieces interlock each other and make the house look so different than the other roofs. Many of the neighbors have stopped to look at the roof all are impressed how good and nice it looks. The workers were professional, hard workers and fast, and they cleaned up every night. We are very happy and pleased with the decision we made. Finally we do not have to worry about the roof any more.
Nazar came to look at the concerns I had about my roof. He listened thoughtfully, evaluated the issues explained everything and promptly restored the ridge to my liking. He is the ‘master’ of these roofs!
Sales approach was aimed at convincing the wife
Check back with me in about 3 months if you have not heard back from me
Thanks for showing us the product
Larry was knowledgeable and courteous. We will get a new roof with interlock once this one wears out.
First of all. On the day of delivery" 8/15/2015, "I called Jeniffer and she told me the delivery truck was on its way. There was no previous notice of delivery. What if I was not home? Or had something to do of importance. This was not considered. Second of all Michael B. spent to much time in my garage inspecting. My brush to my heavy vacuum, went missing. I noticed it immediately after he left. As far as your workers, some smoke to much and where not efficient enough and worked very slow. They took more breaks than work. No one spoke English except one person who was suppose to be in charge. And while the stripping was being done the leader kept leaving and left for hours and the workers were not prepared properly. After two days of stripping my plants where not protected as promised. I yelled at one worker for carelessness. Every morning I was promised they would start work at 7am. They never ever showed up until 11:30am everyday after; except the last day which was day 5. And instead of 7am as promised it was 7:45am. They milked my whole weekend. They started on a Thursday and ended after noon" on Monday. I never got the paperwork for the dumpster which had no permit to be on the street. It would never had fit in my driveway. Michael B. knew this. This is why they chose to work on the weekend so they would not have to pay for the dumpster permit. I had to go and by traffic cone and caution tap to mark off the dumpster and protect my property from traffic. Also the objects used to brake up snow fall were promised on both sides of the main roof. However when the leader came to me and said they where not ordered he only had enough for one side of the house. And that the material that was ordered and not used or not here", would be deducted from the original price. When the material was delivered it was placed inside my garage I did not get a manifest of what was actually purchased. My gutter hangers were re bought because of the mis-care of dismantling and new hooks had to be purchased. They were just snapped off. That did not please me. I did feed them the last day of work to show my kindness. However part of my gardening tools went missing. The clean up looked ok, but after a day of getting my house back I did a clear inspection and found cigarette butts all over the place and nails. They should have been vacuumed up. This was a ruff 5days for such a small project. There promptness to time and duty showed no respect to me as the owner of said property. There was very little communication because it did not make sense to talk to the workers because no one spoke English. What a nightmare. By day 4 I wanted them gone. But I could not interact because my roof's would not have gotten done or finished. One noticeable thing was when they called and said there tire's had gotten slashed and they would be late. On that same day after the repair, the leader went out to Home Depot, 3 miles away and he got another flat and came back after 6pm. Leaving inexperienced workers just standing around smoking cigarettes, lying down on the roof waiting. My neighbors came over to my home and even called me on the phone wondering why or what was wrong. This was not a good day. This set me a day back. I was not happy. No communication and not happy. What a lazy crew. After they left I sent jeniffer a good report and photo's. When I went to get my gardening tool" and found it was missing, all gloves came off and the real truth came out which is now. I was willing to forget and forgive. But sense you asked for this survey, you are getting the truth and "I WILL STAND BY THIS STATEMENT". LIKE OR NOT. And after I sent Jeniffer that invoice for the items purchased by fax (508-660-6918) and phone call 508-660-6665; all I get is CANADA answering service. And no email from [email protected]. I have left messages with InterLock Inc. for Jeniffer with no response. I get very angry when I get no response from a company that I am spending thousands of US Dollars with and they just fall off the grid", because the billing and workers are not connected. It feels almost like a scam. There are still missing pieces to my gutter hangups. All of the hangups were present when they started but not when they finished. And the snow breakup material for the "Main Roof" are only on one side. Yet I paid for all the materials for the whole completion and got only half. I know I signed off on this project. However you have material at my cost that does not belong to you and no material list of deduction paid for and "not received. I trusted you. And you are asking me for a referral? I don't think so. It's only been 8 days since you left. And it took me eight days to do my final inspection of the truth. I left them on there own to lockup after cleaning up. I had to leave on a important matter. It has not rained yet, so I do not know if there will be any leaks. Its a shame when you have only "one person with total experience and the rest have to wait to be told what to do. That's why it took five days to complete the roof's work. What a shame. And what a nightmare for the owner'; "me. I ate the steak. So I have to pay for it. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT REFER ANYONE TO DINE OR EAT AT YOUR TABLE. The garage and home looks good. We'll just wait for the weather to see how well your material and work hold.If there is a problem", YOU WILL BE CALLED. And if there is no proper response, you will get a call for my State Of Rhode Island Governor's Office to your State Governor's Office and State Legislators and State Representatives as non- cooperative, out of state out of country business.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Fairlawn
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Fairlawn, Rhode Island. 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 Fairlawn.
Will a metal roof handle Rhode Island's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes. Fairlawn experiences about 83 freeze-thaw days annually, and aluminum's non-porous structure simply expands and contracts without damage. Unlike asphalt, which cracks from repeated temperature swings, or wood shakes, which split, aluminum has no moisture absorption. The 3105-H24 aluminum alloy expands predictably within the four-way interlocking panel system, which accommodates that movement. Your roof stays sealed and performs identically after 25 years of Fairlawn winters as it did year one.
How does metal roofing perform under Fairlawn's snow load?
Excellently. Fairlawn averages about 76 cm of snow annually. Metal roofing's smooth surface allows snow to shed naturally; lightweight aluminum panels (0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft for Slate through Tile profiles) mean you'll never need structural reinforcement, unlike slate or concrete tile. Interlock installs over most existing roofs without upgrading framing. Snow guards are available if you prefer controlled release. The real advantage: ice dams form far less often on metal because the smooth deck doesn't trap moisture the way asphalt does, and heat loss is minimal.
Is a metal roof safe in Fairlawn's wind gusts?
Absolutely. Fairlawn experiences typical gusts around 118 km/h, and Interlock's warranty covers wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h). The four-way interlocking system locks panels together so forcefully that wind cannot lift or separate individual sections. Each panel is fastened to the deck and locked to its neighbors—no weak points. UL 2218 Class 4 hail-impact rated panels also survive the same extreme forces. Local gusts are well within your roof's rated resistance.
Can hail damage a metal roof, and will insurance notice?
Hail doesn't damage Interlock roofs—and that matters for insurance. The roof carries UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, the highest available, and the warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Aluminum won't dent like steel; small surface marks don't compromise integrity or warranty coverage. Many insurers recognize Class 4 impact ratings and offer premium discounts. Contact your provider—some offer measurable savings for metal roofs installed to spec. The non-combustible aluminum itself (Class A fire) may also reduce premiums.
Can aluminum metal roofing rust?
No. Aluminum contains no iron, so it cannot rust. When exposed to air, aluminum forms a microscopically thin oxide layer that actually protects the metal beneath. If that layer scratches, it self-heals in minutes when exposed to oxygen. Interlock adds a 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both sides—extra defense against coastal salt air and Fairlawn's moisture-heavy climate. That coating carries a 30-year warranty against chalking and fading. You'll never see orange streaks, weakened panels, or structural failure from corrosion.
Is metal roofing worth the price over asphalt?
Yes, over the long term. Asphalt lasts 15–20 years; you'll replace it twice while one metal roof serves 50+ years under the Guardian lifetime limited warranty. That's fewer tear-offs, fewer labor bills, and no landfill cycles. Asphalt requires regular maintenance; metal requires almost none. Current financing offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation—making the first cost comparable to asphalt. One contractor visit instead of three across a lifetime pays for itself.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need in Rhode Island?
Virtually none. Metal roofing sheds leaves, debris, and snow naturally without pooling or trapping moisture. There's no granule loss like asphalt, no wood rot like shake, no algae growth like tile. Fairlawn's 1198 mm annual rain actually cleans the roof. Gutters need occasional clearing; that's it. Asphalt shingles curl, crack, and need sealing. Wood shakes split from freeze-thaw and require treatment. Aluminum never curls, cracks, or splits—the Guardian warranty explicitly covers those failures and they won't happen.
Is metal roofing environmentally better than asphalt?
Substantially. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, so your roof becomes a resource instead of landfill waste. Asphalt shingles generate millions of tons of landfill annually. Metal roofing eliminates the tear-off cycle entirely—you install once, keep it 50 years, then recycle. Manufacturing aluminum is energy-intensive upfront, but lifespan-per-ton vastly favors metal. CALGreen verification confirms reduced maintenance burden. Over its life, one metal roof avoids three asphalt replacements and their associated waste, energy, and transportation emissions.
Who installs Interlock metal roofing in Fairlawn?
Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. serves Fairlawn and the region. They've been installing Interlock systems since 1999—25 years of experience in Rhode Island's freeze-thaw, salt air, and wind environment. Local presence means fast response, warranty support you can speak to in person, and familiarity with Newport County building codes and climate demands. They can assess your existing roof, confirm whether installation over current materials is possible, and walk you through the financing: no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation.
Can my house support a metal roof, or do I need to reinforce the frame?
No reinforcement needed. Interlock's Slate profile weighs just 0.41 lb/sq ft; even the heaviest, the Mediterranean Tile at 0.59 lb/sq ft, is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Your existing framing already supports the shingles, snow, and wind loads—metal roofing weighs less. Installation often proceeds directly over existing asphalt or wood without structural work. This matters in Fairlawn's climate where around 76 cm of snow loads the roof annually: lighter panels mean safer margins and faster installation.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Fairlawn’s climate?
Yes. Fairlawn averages about 76 cm of snow, 1198 mm of rain, roughly 83 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 118 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.
