Interlock® Metal Roofing Systems

Yes. Installing solar panels on an Interlock Metal Roofing System offers a compelling blend of longevity and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for homeowners and businesses alike. The primary advantage of this combination lies in the durable nature of metal roofing, which often outlasts other roofing materials by decades. This durability means that once solar panels are installed on a metal roof, the likelihood of needing to remove and reinstall them for roof replacement is significantly reduced or eliminated. This not only cuts down on the costs and inconvenience associated with roof maintenance but also ensures a consistent, uninterrupted harnessing of solar energy. Metal roofs, known for their resilience against harsh weather conditions, provide a stable and secure platform for solar panels, further enhancing the overall efficiency of the solar energy system. This synergy of metal roofing and solar panels aligns perfectly with the concept of ‘do it once, do it right’, offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution that maximizes the return on investment over time while contributing positively to environmental conservation.

An Interlock Metal Roofing System is designed for longevity, offering a lifespan that can easily exceed 50 years when properly installed and maintained. This durability is due to the high-quality aluminum used in the roofing system, which is resistant to corrosion, cracking, and shrinking. Additionally, the unique coating applied to Interlock roofs enhances their resistance to weathering and environmental impacts, ensuring that they maintain their appearance and functionality over many decades.

The extended lifespan of an Interlock roof also means that it can be a cost-effective choice over time, as it minimizes the need for repairs and replacements compared to more traditional roofing materials. This makes it an excellent long-term investment for homeowners looking for a reliable and low-maintenance roofing solution.

No, an Interlock Metal Roofing System is not noisy during rain or hail. Contrary to some common perceptions about metal roofing, Interlock systems are specifically designed to minimize noise. Here’s how they manage sound:

Underlayment: Interlock Metal Roofing Systems are installed with a solid underlayment, which acts as a sound barrier. This underlayment effectively absorbs sound from rain, hail, and other environmental noise, significantly reducing the sound that reaches the interior of the home.

Solid Sheathing: The metal panels are installed over a solid sheathed deck, which further reduces noise transmission compared to older styles of metal roofing that might have been installed over open framing.

Quality Material and Installation: The quality of the materials and the precision of the installation also play a crucial role in noise reduction. Interlock roofs are made from heavy-gauge aluminum, which is more robust and durable. The secure installation ensures that there is minimal vibration, which is a common cause of noise in lesser-quality metal roofs.

Overall, homeowners with Interlock Metal Roofing Systems typically report very low levels of noise disruption, similar to or even quieter than other types of roofing materials.

Yes, an Interlock Metal Roofing System is highly energy-efficient. Here are a few key features that contribute to its energy-saving capabilities:

Reflective Properties: Interlock roofing systems are typically made from aluminum, which has excellent reflective properties. This means that the roof can reflect solar radiant heat away from your home rather than absorbing it. During the summer months, this can significantly reduce the amount of heat that penetrates into your home, lowering the need for air conditioning and reducing your cooling costs.

Cool Roof Technology: Many Interlock roofs are treated with special coatings that further enhance their reflective capabilities. These coatings can reflect UV and infrared light, which further prevents heat absorption and helps maintain a more stable indoor temperature regardless of the external weather conditions.

Air Circulation: The design of Interlock Metal Roofs often includes a method for allowing air to circulate between the roofing material and the deck. This ventilation helps to dissipate any heat that is absorbed, keeping the underlying structure cool and further contributing to energy efficiency.

Durability and Longevity: The energy efficiency of a roofing system is also tied to its durability and maintenance requirements. Interlock roofs are known for their longevity and resistance to various weather conditions, meaning less energy and resources are consumed over time for repairs or replacements.

By keeping homes cooler in the summer and requiring fewer resources for maintenance, Interlock Metal Roofing Systems can provide significant energy savings, making them an environmentally friendly roofing option.

Interlock Metal Roofing offers products rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). The CRRC rates roofing materials based on their reflectivity and emissivity, qualities that significantly enhance a roof's ability to reflect sunlight and emit absorbed heat. Interlock's CRRC-rated products are an excellent choice for those looking to reduce cooling costs and improve indoor comfort.

By choosing a CRRC-rated product from Interlock Metal Roofing, homeowners benefit from the latest advancements in roofing technology that promote energy conservation. These products not only help in managing heat transfer but also contribute to overall energy efficiency of homes, aligning with modern environmental standards. Consulting with roofing professionals who understand the benefits of CRRC-rated materials can further guide homeowners in making informed decisions that align with their energy efficiency goals and building requirements.
