Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Federal Hill, 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. |

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 Federal Hill
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Federal Hill, 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 Federal Hill.
Why does freeze-thaw cycling matter for my roof in Federal Hill?
Federal Hill experiences about 83 freeze-thaw days per year, which is brutal on asphalt and wood—they expand and contract, crack, and split. Aluminum's oxide layer doesn't absorb moisture, so it won't degrade from thermal cycling. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is also warranted 30 years against cracking, meaning it holds up through decades of the freeze-thaw stress you get here with roughly 76 cm of snow annually and temperatures swinging around 11.2°C mean.
How do Interlock metal roofs handle snow and ice buildup?
Your roof collects about 76 cm of snow yearly, and metal's smooth surface naturally sheds it faster than asphalt, reducing ice dam risk. The four-way interlocking panels lock together tightly, so snow and ice stay sealed out at the seams. Optional snow guards are available if you want to control where it slides. The panels are rated UL 2218 Class 4 for impact and install light enough at 0.41 to 0.59 lb/sq ft that heavy snow loads don't stress your structure.
Does a metal roof leak in the heavy rain Federal Hill gets?
Federal Hill averages about 1,198 mm of rain yearly, and metal roofs shed water faster than asphalt because they have no granules to clog gutters and valleys. The four-way interlocking panel design creates a labyrinth seal—water is directed down and out, not sideways into seams. When installed over solid decking with underlayment (which most local jobs are), the system is as leak-proof as any roof gets, with no granule breakdown or deterioration over time like you see with shingles.
Can a metal roof rust in Rhode Island's salty air?
No. Interlock panels are roofing-grade 3105-H24 or 3003-H24 aluminum alloy per ASTM B209—pure aluminum contains no iron and cannot rust. The metal forms a self-healing oxide layer when exposed to air; if scratched, it seals itself automatically. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating (applied to both sides) adds a second layer of protection, which matters in Rhode Island's salt-air environment. Even in coastal conditions, aluminum simply doesn't corrode the way steel does.
How well do metal roofing panels stand up to wind and gusts?
Federal Hill's typical wind gusts reach about 118 km/h, and the Interlock system is warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels lock together so tightly that high winds can't lift them; the system acts as one unified surface. This design—combined with proper fastening and underlayment—gives you confidence during nor'easters and the coastal gales you experience here.
Do I need to reinforce my house to install a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile installs at just 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than real concrete or clay tile—and it goes right over most existing roofs. Even the heaviest profile is negligible by comparison. Federal Hill homes built for asphalt shingles can carry metal roofing without modification. This matters because it saves you thousands in framing work and lets you avoid a full tear-off, which means less waste heading to the landfill and faster installation.
Will a metal roof help lower cooling costs in summer?
Yes. energy-efficient Interlock colors achieve initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning they reflect heat that dark asphalt absorbs. In a climate averaging about 3,050 sunshine hours yearly, this reflectivity reduces the cooling load on your air conditioning. Over the roof's life, the energy savings compound while your coating stays protected—the Alunar finish is warranted 30 years against fading, so reflectivity doesn't degrade like it does on asphalt.
What's the hail rating on an Interlock metal roof, and does insurance care?
Interlock panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This is the toughest hail classification you can buy. Many insurance carriers recognize this rating and offer discounts on premiums because the roof won't need replacement after a hail event. Combined with Federal Hill's exposure to Atlantic weather, this durability translates to real savings over decades.
How long does an Interlock metal roof last, and what's covered?
The Guardian Warranty is lifetime limited, non-prorated material coverage for the original owner and one-time transferable to the next owner for 50 years from completion. It covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. In Federal Hill's freeze-thaw environment (83 days yearly) and with 76 cm of snow, you won't see the splitting and curling that plague wood and asphalt. That's a single roof install covering your ownership and adding real value for the next buyer.
Is a metal roof better for the environment than asphalt?
Yes. Interlock panels are approximately 95% recyclable aluminum; when your roof eventually reaches end-of-life (decades away), the material goes back into the recycling stream, not a landfill. By contrast, an asphalt roof torn off every 15–20 years generates thousands of pounds of waste per home. You break that tear-off cycle with one metal installation. Plus, the light weight means no structural tear-down, and energy-efficiency efficiency reduces your operational carbon footprint across 50+ years of service.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Federal Hill’s climate?
Yes. Federal Hill 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.
