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
About 330 mm of precipitation a year
The Naramata climate table on Wikipedia, from Environment Canada's 1971–2000 normals, shows 330 mm of precipitation a year and an average July high of 27.0 °C. With so little rain, sun is what wears a roof out here. Aluminum shingles carry no asphalt or wood fibre for the sun to break down.
Homes against the hillside
Naramata, RDOS Electoral Area E, is part of the Regional District's Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan work, with public sessions held in 2025. Aluminum does not ignite, and the roof is Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly. No roof is fireproof; we look at gutters and vents with you, because that is where embers settle.
Orchards, vineyards and a farm landscape
Much of Naramata lies in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the bench has moved from tree fruit to vineyards and wineries. Interlock® Standing Seam suits a barn or shop roof; Interlock® Cedar Shingle and Interlock® Shake keep a wood look on the house.
No trip needed for the first meeting
Our only office is in Delta, at the Interlock plant, and we have none in the Okanagan. About three in four of our BC roof consultations happen on Zoom: you walk us around the house on your phone and we go through profiles, colours and the roof itself. If you would rather meet in person, we come to your home.
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).

- 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.
