The Interlock® Lifetime Roofing System installer for British Columbia

Approved contractor profileBuilt for British Columbia
BC is a coastline, a rainforest, a snow belt and a fire zone, sometimes on the same drive. Here is what an Interlock® aluminum roof does about each.
Salt air
There is no iron in aluminum, so there is nothing to rust. It forms its own thin oxide layer, which re-forms if the surface is scratched. That is why it is the metal for oceanfront homes, island cabins and anywhere the wind carries salt.
Wildfire
Under ASTM E108 a fire classification belongs to an assembly, not a panel. On our roofs Class A is achieved with two layers of GAF VersaShield® over 12 mm (15/32-inch) plywood, and the aluminum itself does not ignite. Ask us to quote the assembly if your home backs onto forest or grassland.
Reflectance
Most Alunar® colours are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), which publishes each colour's solar reflectance (0.25 to 0.44 when new) and thermal emittance (0.83 to 0.86). Lighter and metallic colours reflect more. The Alunar® finish is warranted for 30 years.
Energy
Lighter colours absorb less summer sun than dark ones. What that saves depends on climate, colour, insulation and attic ventilation, so we don't quote a figure.
Solar
A solar array lasts 25 to 30 years. Put it on an asphalt roof and the panels often have to come off and go back on when the roof wears out underneath them. On an Interlock roof they come off at the end of their own life, not the roof's. Standing Seam takes clamp mounts with no holes drilled; the other profiles use mounting hardware made for metal roofing. At roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre the roof leaves more of the structure's capacity for the array, and your solar installer confirms the framing.
Wind
Interlock panels lock to each other on all four sides, with no exposed fastener for a storm to work at. Wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification.
Months of rain, moss, character homes, strata councils and more homes going solar every year.
Nothing in an aluminum panel for moss to root in or water to rot. Cedar softens and asphalt granules trap the debris moss grows in.
The look of cedar shake or slate on an older house, at a fraction of the weight, and paperwork strata councils can approve.
Put the panels up once. The roof under them outlives the array.
From White Rock to West Vancouver: aluminum cannot rust in salt air.

Mountain snow, wet storms off Howe Sound, and homes that back onto forest.
At roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre, the roof leaves the framing's capacity for what it is really there for in Squamish and Whistler: snow.
Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly, for homes in the wildland-urban interface.
Panels locked on four sides; wind warranted to 193 km/h installed to manufacturer specification.

Vancouver roofing profiles we install: cedar shingle, shake, slate, Mediterranean tile, standing seam & solid copper
The look belongs to your home. The performance belongs to the metal. Every profile needs a minimum 3/12 roof slope.
A composed silhouette
The formal character of slate at a fraction of the weight, in aluminum that cannot rust.
Familiar warmth
The look of a West Coast cedar roof, with nothing to rot, split or grow moss in the grain.
Deep shadow lines
Hand-split texture and depth: the usual replacement when a cedar shake roof has had its last re-treatment.
Sculpted, not heavy
The barrel-tile silhouette without the weight of concrete or clay.
Clean lines
Clean vertical lines for a modern home or a cabin, in the same aluminum.
A living metal
Copper weathers over time. Usually a bay, a porch or a turret rather than a whole house.
Where we've worked
We install the Interlock® aluminum roofing system on homes across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, the Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows: interlocking panels locked on four sides with the fasteners out of the weather, made in Canada at the Interlock plant in Delta, BC.
Completed Interlock® roofs by community, from our job book. Every other part of BC has its own local site: same company, same crews, same warranty.
These are the regions we currently serve. Not sure which one your address falls in? Ask us.

Why metal, for Vancouver roofing
Rain & moss
A roof here spends most of the winter wet. Cedar holds that water and softens; asphalt granules trap the debris moss grows in. Aluminum absorbs nothing and cannot rot. Valleys and gutters still collect needles and leaves, so we'll tell you what to clear and how often rather than call the roof maintenance-free.
Character homes
Character homes, Vancouver Specials and 1970s split-levels often carry a roof that's heavier or harder to keep up than it should be. Interlock's Cedar Shingle, Shake and Slate profiles keep the look at roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre, a fraction of concrete tile.
Wind
Winter storms off the Strait lift loose edges and exposed screw heads. Interlock panels lock to each other on all four sides with the fasteners concealed. Wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification.
Strata
Plenty of our Metro Vancouver work starts with a strata vote. We bring the product documents, colour samples and warranty terms the council will ask for, and one colour and profile can run across every unit.
Recycled
And the last tear-off your house is likely to need.
The metallurgy, coatings and test reports are the manufacturer's to explain: interlockroofing.com ↗

9969 River Way, Delta, BC, the same address as the Interlock plant that makes the panels. Estimates in Metro Vancouver are by appointment; call (604) 210-3850.
A Vancouver roofing contractor, that installs one roofing system: the Interlock® aluminum roof, made in Canada in Delta. We replace asphalt, cedar and tile roofs on Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and Tri-Cities homes with it. We don't install asphalt shingles, so if you're shopping for the lowest price on a roof you'll replace again, we're not the right call. If you want the last roof the house needs, we are.
Free, no obligation
A free consultation on Zoom (most homeowners choose it) or at your home: we go through profiles and colours with you, measure the roof, and give you a fixed price in writing. No pressure, and an honest date for the install.
