Interlock Roofing Ltd. is a manufacturer of aluminum roofing. Aluminum metal roofing does not have the limitations of some other conventional roofing materials, which can include rot, splitting, cracking, and frequent replacement. Metal roofing materials and systems are widely used worldwide, and are gaining market share in North
America as concerns mount regarding the environment and the use of petrochemicals in traditional “remove and replace” roofing products. Aluminum metal roofing is 100%
recyclable.

The “Interlock” refers to the manner in which the aluminum shake roofing tiles are installed. The top and bottom of the metal roofing shake are interlocked to form an extremely strong roofing system that resists all kinds of extreme weather conditions, including high winds, Sun Belt exposure, and heavy rains.

Below is a reprint of an article released in Walpole Mass October 6, 2005
Interlock Industries Inc. has announced the introduction of an aluminum slate Interlock roofing system.

According to Dan Adolphsen, Regional Sales Manager, the aluminum Slate “is designed to appeal to those who want the elegance and longevity of a slate style roof without having to deal with the heavy weight of traditional slate products. In many cases, this roofing can be installed directly over top of an existing roof, saving the costs of tear off and the environmental problems associated with disposal. We are extremely excited to offer this product to homeowners. Our initial response in the New England market has been excellent.

Different types of Solar Roofing are available, but among the most common are BIPV (Building Integrated Photo Voltaic) and Crystalline.  Both systems are effective, and send power back into the Power Grid reducing your energy costs. However, these systems also need to be considered from the viewpoint of your current roofing style.

BIPV Solar Roofing is typically used with metal standing seam roofing, such as the Interlock Panel Roof . This roofing is common to commercial developments, and is used selectively by homeowners desiring an architectural appearance typically thought of when customers think  of metal roofing.  Crystalline Solar Roofing can be used with most common roofing materials, including shingle, slate, tile, and Interlock Metal Roofing.

BIPV needs to be used on “Flat” metal roofing, since it actually adheres to the metal roof surface.  Crystalline systems  “stand up” from the surface of your roof, and are separate from the roof underneath.

Crystalline Solar Roofing

Solar Roofing needs to be considered in light of the energy you will save. In some markets, energy costs are high and make these systems economically feasible.  Geography is also a factor, as these systems are more effective in areas of greater sunshine and where  daylight hours are longer. And, government grants are often available to help offset the costs of installation.

Others may choose Solar Roofing as environmental rather than a monetary decision, as reducing energy consumption also reduces pollution.

Many roofing companies offer a pro-rated type of warranty in order to camouflage the real durability of the product; a 50-year warranty can comfortably be offered when in fact the roof it is supposed to cover lasts only a fraction of that time.

Pro-rated roofing warranties are the source of many class action lawsuits, where customers who have found that their roof lasts as little as twelve years may then find that the warranty coverage they expected does not cover the real product replacement costs. These lawsuits are common and often range in the hundreds of millions.

Roofing customers seeking adequate warranty coverage are wise to look at “Non Pro-rated” warranty coverage. This type of warranty does not decline in value over time, and is designed to ensure the cost of the customer’s roofing product is properly reimbursed in the even t of premature failure. Interlock Roofing is protected by a Non Pro-rated warranty that is transferable to a new property owner. Click here for details.

Unlike heavy tile and slate roofing, aluminum roofing does not require structural reinforcement. Aluminum is also highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for coastal roofing applications. Being malleable, Aluminum also lends itself nicely to intricate and detailed patterns, and can easily be formed to replicate classic profiles such as natural Slate, Clay Tile, or even Wood Shakes. Aluminum Roofing can be designed as Interlock Roofing, meaning it may be locked on all four corners for ultimate durability and protection.

Installing wood shingles or shakes is complicated and should only be undertaken by a professional. These materials are generally chosen for looks and not durability. Unlike 25 years ago, modern wood products are typically being manufactured from second growth wood, which means the wood can become brittle, and shrink, causing the roof to be compromised. This is due to the fact that the growth ring count in second growth trees is significantly less than old growth trees, causing reduced strength.
There is also a high level of maintenance to monitor as mold, rot; insects and rodents can be a problem leading to costly repairs. Finally many wood roofing materials are unrated by safety codes.

Installing clay tile or slate on an average home can be very expensive due to the complicated nature of the installation and the cost of the material itself. One common finding when installing clay tile or slate is that extra roof support systems are needed due to the extremely high weight of these materials. Even with the added support the weight of these materials can contribute to total building collapse in the event of structural fire or earthquake. It should also be noted that both tile and slate are very fragile, as they can crack and break if walked on. This can make regular maintenance such as cleaning out gutters or painting difficult. If the tiles loosen in high wind situations, they may blow loose and cause damage to other structures. Colours can fade significantly over time and there is a high cost associated with replacing them
