Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Saint Clair, Washington
| 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:
They did a very good job! They did a good job. We have had a wind storm and rain, and no leaks.
There could be improvement regarding communication of what days they were working and what days they weren't. I wish I had gotten the roof years ago. It wasn't as a good a fit on our old house. We knew we wanted to do this house and we finally got the money together to do it. We are so glad we did.
Interlok Reps came across as high-pressured and as if trying to 'pull fast ones', like:----Demanding all homeowners be present for sales pitch, though I assured him we'd already been shown the product, only needed estimate and verification of materials; then if it looked feasible, then paperwork. ----Entire sales pitch felt high-pressured. ----We clearly and repeatedly stated, Interlok was far beyond our means to afford or finance, after they'd quoted prices, yet Reps continued to high-pressure and jig-figures by small amounts. ----Rep pulled out contract papers, despite being told we can't afford this; papers looked as if we needed a legal team to read and edit them, to have ANY hope of legal protections.Reps said a few things which conflicted with other statements in their pitch, as well as some bordering on sounding like scamming, like: ==="Standing seam roofing has fasteners that show"; Despite indicating our better-than-average knowledge of roofing and building, Reps emphatically tried to convince us of other metal roofing's inferiority by mis-stating facts, then changing subject. ==="Must include permit cost"; Our County does NOT require permit to replace roofing unless framing/structure needs fixed--ours does not: the roof deck is NOT considered structure for purposes of re-roofing. ==="We can roof-over the existing 2 layers of shingles to save you a big chunk off the price" ;But this was still more than double the cost of standing-seam; and, CODE:requires "must remove all old roofing if there is more than one layer of old roofing"...He knew this Code requirement to start with, stating it clearly at the beginning, then tried to buffalo us that we could get away without removing old roofing, after it was made clear to him YET AGAIN, that cost was crucial, and that we could NOT afford this: Conclusions: 1. He intended to bait-and-switch, and/or do an illegal job. 2. If he so easily used these tactics, what else was lied about or misled about?Cost, function and honesty trump Cosmetics. Notes re: realty/housing industries in general:The Interlok Reps came on the heals of our being sold a money-pit. We'd already gone deep into debt to repair/replace basic infrastructure which should have been done before being put on the market. Realtors and affiliated industries extensively use deceptive descriptives and practices to artificially pump prices, all over three counties we looked in; this was the best one we could find, and it was misrepresented and over-priced. The cunning, clever ways the various industries work together regarding real estate, allows each separate industry to appear mostly guiltless. "House flippers" routinely cover up infrastructure issues with cosmetics, and make more mistakes of their own which also need fixed. "Instant equity" appears to be a housing industry Secret Code for: "this is how much we KNOW it will take to fix things we're not telling buyers about, which can't be seen by inspectors buyers pay for, or items which are marginal or fall through Code cracks". Honesty, accountability and responsibility take a back-seat to getting fast money, at most levels, at least to some degrees. Better changes need made, but in today's sick business climate, that's not likely to happen fast enough to prevent more new homeowners losing their homes related to these issues. Too many industries, in every sector, have predatory and/or destructive practices which they continue to rationalize and excuse, to maintain business-as-usual. We'd also already been blitzed with questionable to shady contractors prior to Interlok Reps arrival, therefore sensitized to any hints of questionable business practices. More varieties of contractors and businesses have been knocking on our door and spamming our mail since then.
Factory to installers communication, shipping, and their materials breakdown was the only problem we really had. The roof was pretty much wide open for about two weeks exposed to the elements. Loan company used, a pain to work with
The Interlock associate Ivan,came did an awesome service in correcting the part needed to be corrected, he left us with instructions of what we needed to check and to get in touch with, if needed 😀 Ms. May the associate answering the phone was helpful for us to get prompt service. They are dependable. We received roof service.
Dear Interlock Roofing, Thank you for coming by and installing a new roof on our house. After we first talked at the Tacoma Home Show in January, both Paul and Ross were fantastic in walking us through the process and explaining the roofing system when we met in February. They answered all our questions, and we were eager to get started. Patrick and Drew took the lead with the installation planning and paperwork, and once the materials were ready in May, Patrick dropped them off at our house. The three-man crew installed everything in three days and ensured any installation questions were answered and done properly. In the end, we love the look and expected longevity of our new roof.
By far the best purchase we’ve made for our home. Patrick and Greg were amazing! Installation was quick and there wasn’t any mess left behind. If you have ever thought about getting a metal roof Interlock Roofing is hands down the best!
The cost of the roofing was too high. It looks very nice and glad I had it installed. I have one leak, but I haven't called them about it yet.
The sale experience was good, but the rest was far below expectations, especially for the price paid. We did not buy Interlock just for an attractive roof, we bought it because they are supposed to be experts, have a high level of customer services, and we thought would do things right without headaches. This is far from the case. Hire an company who's actual employees and managers will be on site, not Interlock. Turns out we were actually blindly hiring a crew, who sub-contracts for Interlock, and has a questionable level of experience. Interlock doesn't even show up at your job site at any time during the job, even if you have problems and repeatedly ask them to. Once they have your money at the end of the job, they don't care if you still have issues or even bother to respond to you when you have additional issue. They need an interlock staff member who is an installation expert to be on the job site ideally for the whole job, but at the least, at the start at the middle and at the end who can insure everything is done to high standards and that all of the customers issues are addressed promptly. Paying by the job is also super problematic, this only encourages the crews to work as fast as they possibly can, covering up or ignoring things that might take a bit longer. They have no incentive to fix or give the customer time to fix an issue. The one installation manager you have for a huge region is not even close to adequate, it's no surprise he could not give us an adequate level of communication or attention. Disappointing.
Their workers are very good and very capable. Fewer supply problems. Joe, the scheduler. He does an exceptional job keeping his customers happy and meeting schedules considering supply and covid issues. Always nice and courteous.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Saint Clair
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Saint Clair, Washington. 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 Saint Clair.
Will a metal roof handle freeze-thaw cycling in Thurston County winters?
Aluminum expands and contracts with temperature swings, but the four-way interlocking panels are engineered to move independently without cracking or splitting. Saint Clair averages about 46 freeze-thaw days per year—those repeated wet-freeze-thaw cycles that destroy asphalt and wood shingles. Aluminum oxide's self-healing property means it won't corrode from salt spray during those freeze cycles either. The Guardian warranty explicitly covers cracking and curling, so you're protected through the entire seasonal cycle.
How does a metal roof perform under Saint Clair's snow load?
Metal roofing sheds snow faster than asphalt because of its smooth, slippery surface and tight panel interlocks—critical in a region that averages about 30 cm of snow annually. The panels themselves weigh just 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Shingle profile, so even accumulated snow doesn't stress your structure. If ice dams are your concern, proper ventilation and flashing work together with the metal's thermal properties to reduce pooling. Snow guards are available if you want to manage runoff onto walkways or lower roofs.
Can a metal roof handle 1,200 mm of annual rain without leaks?
Saint Clair receives about 1,195 mm of rain yearly—well above the US average—and metal roofing's interlocking design and solid fastening system shed water faster than any shingle. The four-way interlocks mean water can't sit at panel seams. Installation over solid decking with proper flashing and underlayment creates multiple backup layers. When installed to ICC-ES ESR-1790 code spec, the system is engineered to handle continuous heavy rainfall without saturation or pooling. Zero wood rot risk because there's no wood substrate for water to penetrate.
Will my metal roof stay put in a Thurston County windstorm?
Thurston County's typical gusts reach 98 km/h, and the warranty covers wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to spec—you're well protected. The four-way interlocking panels work like a chain: each panel's edges lock mechanically to its neighbors, distributing wind load across the entire roof instead of relying on fasteners alone. That's why UL testing and ICC-ES evaluation confirm the system's integrity under extreme wind loads. With 1,200-plus installations across coastal salt-air regions, this design has proven itself in some of North America's windiest conditions.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost versus another asphalt replacement in 20 years?
Asphalt needs replacement every 15–20 years; a metal roof is designed to outlast two or three asphalt cycles. The Guardian lifetime limited warranty (non-prorated for the original owner) means no material replacement bills—you buy it once. Factor in labor costs for tearoff, disposal to landfill, and reinstallation: two asphalt replacements cost more in labor and landfill fees than the single metal installation. Add energy-efficiency tax credits where applicable, and the math shifts further. Current promotion offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off, lowering your entry cost right now.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure for metal roofing?
No structural reinforcement is needed. The Slate and Cedar Shingle profiles install at 0.41 lb/sq ft—lighter than a layer of asphalt shingles. Even the Mediterranean Tile profile, which mimics heavy clay or concrete tile, weighs just 0.59 lb/sq ft and is about 96% lighter than the materials it replicates. This means you can install Interlock metal roofing over most existing roofs without beam work or rafter upgrades. That saves thousands in structural engineering and construction labor, and it keeps your installation timeline tight—another advantage in rainy Thurston County when you want work done before the next downpour.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to wood shakes or tile?
Metal roofing requires almost none. Wood shakes split and curl in freeze-thaw cycles (about 46 per year here); concrete or clay tile cracks when water freezes inside pores; asphalt sheds granules into gutters annually. Aluminum panels don't split, crack, or degrade. Gutters may need clearing of leaves, same as any roof. The Alunar coating is factory-applied to both sides and warranted 30 years against chalking or fading—no paint jobs, no sealing, no moss treatments. CALGreen verification documents this low-maintenance profile, making it ideal for owners who want a roof that works, not one that demands constant attention.
Does a metal roof add appeal when selling a Saint Clair home?
Metal roofing signals durability and modern upgrades to buyers—it's a visible, long-term investment. Profiles like Cedar Shingle, Slate, and Mediterranean Tile deliver traditional aesthetics without the maintenance liabilities those materials carry. Buyers know wood shakes will need work soon; they know clay tile is heavy and fragile. Metal roofing offers the look they want with warranties and longevity they understand. The one-time transferable Guardian warranty continues for 50 years from completion (next owner gets the remainder), which is a genuine selling point. In a market where buyers research durability, this roof tells a confident story about your home's care.
Will a metal roof reduce cooling costs in our sunny weather?
Interlock's energy-efficient colors reflect significant solar heat—reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) with thermal emissivity of 0.84—meaning less infrared gets absorbed into your home. Saint Clair receives about 2,943 sunshine hours per year, so that reflectance adds up over 12 months. Asphalt shingles absorb most solar radiation and transfer it through your attic; metal reflects it back before it enters. Lower cooling-season energy use is the result. Combined with the cool-roof rating from the Cool Roof Rating Council, you're not just reducing utility bills—you're also lowering your HVAC workload and extending equipment life in a region with real summer heat potential.
Is a metal roof fire-rated, and does that matter here?
Aluminum is non-combustible—it doesn't burn. Interlock offers Class A fire classification (the highest available), verified through rigorous testing. While Thurston County doesn't face California-scale wildfire risk, Class A rating still matters: it qualifies for some insurance discounts and signals your home is defensible in any scenario. More importantly, non-combustibility means zero risk of ember ignition or flame spread from nearby structure fires. ICC-ES ESR-1790 code evaluation confirms this fire performance. If your homeowner's insurance carrier offers credits for non-combustible roofing, a metal roof pays for itself partly through premiums—and you sleep knowing a fire-safe roof covers your family.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Saint Clair’s climate?
Yes. Saint Clair averages about 30 cm of snow, 1195 mm of rain, roughly 46 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 98 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.
