What an Interlock® aluminum roof is
An Interlock® roof is made of interlocking aluminum panels, each locked to its neighbours on all four sides with the fasteners concealed under the panel above. Nothing is screwed through the weather surface. The panels are stamped to look like slate, cedar shingle, shake or tile, or rolled as standing seam.
The panels are made in Canada by Interlock Roofing at its plant in Delta, BC. Across British Columbia they are installed by our own company, Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd., a Canadian owned and operated BC company founded in 1983, from the same Delta address.

Why aluminum, for a roof in BC
A town backed by pine forest
Peachland's 2021 Community Wildfire Protection Plan describes a wildland-urban interface dominated by timber, mostly ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir. It names the 2017 Finlay Creek fire and the 2018 Mount Eneas and Munro fires among recent fires affecting residents. An Interlock® roof offers Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly, and aluminum will not catch fire.
What a roof alone can't stop
No roof is fireproof. FireSmart BC tells homeowners to clear gutters regularly, because embers easily ignite dry material, and to screen vents with three-millimetre non-combustible wire mesh. When we measure a Peachland roof, we point out the gutters, vents and corners where needles and embers can gather.
Winter on the upper streets
Homes up Princeton Avenue and Trepanier Bench Road sit well above the waterfront. Snow slides off aluminum, so the estimate includes snow guards wherever a slide would land on a door, a deck or a car. Ice damming depends on the attic and eaves, so we look at those too.
An older lakeside town
John Moore Robinson founded Peachland in 1899, on the site of a small community called Camp Hewett. For a house that should keep a traditional look, Interlock® Shake and Interlock® Cedar Shingle give it in heavy-gauge aluminum, at roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per m². Each roof carries the Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty.
The profiles, and what homeowners in BC choose
Five aluminum profiles: Slate (the most popular), Cedar Shingle, Shake, Mediterranean Tile and Standing Seam, plus solid copper for bays, porches and accents. Every profile needs a minimum 3/12 slope.
In our job book the most common profiles across British Columbia are Slate (1,095), Cedar Shingle (458), Shake (325).
What's covered, in writing
- Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty, from the manufacturer: material and finish, for as long as the original purchaser owns the home, transferable once. Workmanship is excluded, and ice damming is a stated exclusion.
- 30 Year Alunar® Coating Warranty on the finish.
- Wind resistance warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification.
- Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly: two layers of GAF VersaShield® over 12 mm (15/32-inch) plywood, per ASTM E108.
How a roof gets done
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Consultation | On Zoom (most BC homeowners choose it) or at your home. We go through profiles and colours, look at photos of roofs like yours, and answer questions. |
| 2. Measure and inspect | We measure the roof and check what's on it now. Cedar, concrete tile and natural slate always come off; a single layer of asphalt can be roofed over only if the inspection finds it suitable. |
| 3. Fixed price in writing | Anything the inspection finds goes into the written quote before you sign, not into a change order later. Strata roofs: we bring the documents the council will ask for. |
| 4. Installation | Our own BC installers, to the manufacturer's specification, with flashing, ventilation and snow guards as planned. |
| 5. Warranty registered | The Guardian material warranty, with our BC service team after the job. |

Questions, answered
Who installs aluminum roofing in BC?
Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. installs the Interlock® aluminum roofing system in BC from its office at 9969 River Way, Delta, the same address as the plant that makes the panels. The company was founded in 1983 and installs every roof itself. Call (778) 745-2860.
Is aluminum roofing good for British Columbia?
Aluminum doesn't rust, absorbs no water and cannot rot, so rain, moss and salt air have nothing to work on, and its smooth surface sheds snow. Valleys and gutters still need clearing of needles and leaves, and ice damming is a stated exclusion of the material warranty, so we look at ventilation with you.
Is an aluminum roof better than a steel roof?
They are both metal roofs, but steel depends on its zinc or aluminum-zinc coating to keep from rusting, and aluminum has no steel to rust. Aluminum is also about a third the weight. Steel roofing usually costs less up front. Our steel vs aluminum guide sets out the differences.
How much does an aluminum roof cost in BC?
It depends on the roof's area, pitch and complexity, what comes off, the profile and options such as the Class A assembly. Our metal roof cost guide shows real price ranges from our own BC contracts, and we give your fixed price in writing after one free visit.
Can an aluminum roof go over my asphalt shingles?
Sometimes: a single layer of asphalt can be roofed over only if our inspection finds it suitable. Cedar shakes, concrete tile and natural slate always come off first.
Can the consultation be done on Zoom?
Yes, and most BC homeowners choose it: we go through the roof, the profiles and the colours with you on screen. Book online or call (778) 745-2860.
How long does an aluminum roof last?
Aluminum has been known to last over 100 years. That is a property of the metal, not a promise; what is in writing is the Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty and the 30 Year Alunar® Coating Warranty.
