Interlock Roofing, Lifetime Roofing Systems
Interlock roofing can be applied over the top of most existing roofing, which saves you the cost of tear-off and disposal. So landfills are spared the waste that comes with the removal of your old roof. This sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? It’s certainly interesting enough to take a deeper look.
Looking at the examples of Interlock’s different roofing styles, you’d never think they were made of metal. Here are a few of the roofing styles, and they’re all really good looking.
- Slate
- Shingle
- Shake
- Tile
Aluminum is “the backbone” of Interlock’s products, chosen for its strength, performance, and recycle-ability. And also because aluminum is tough, reflective, and durable. Interlock Lifetime Metal Roofing Systems are manufactured in compliance with Energy Star’s requirements, and this can mean benefits to homeowners.
Interlock features Solar Roofing, too, for the seriously green-oriented. Architects and building owners challenged the roofing industry to meet “five key essentials for a successful solar roofing product,” and Interlock met the challenge in these ways:
- Photovoltaics that are integrated into the roofing panel (BIPV)
- A complete, standardized solar roof system that includes all schematics and specifications for all electrical components
- Product delivery and installation from a reputable standing seam roof manufacturer
- ROI of 10 years or less depending on tax credit, rebate, and grant availability
- 20-year warranty
Because Interlock’s Solar Roofing includes all the schematics and specs for wiring and electrical components for an electrical subcontractor to implement, this system has built-in simplicity for integrating it into projects of any size. Once the system is complete, it will generate clean, renewable electric power that’s sent directly into the power grid through the building’s electric meter.
All of Interlock’s roofing products offer “cool roof” technology, making the home (or other type of building) cooler in the summer, and helping to reduce air conditioning costs by up to 40%, depending on geographic location.
“Interlock” refers to the installation method that’s designed into the roofing products. The panels or shingles lock together to create a strong, resistant roof that can withstand extreme weather conditions including wind, rain, snow, and ultraviolet exposure.
