The Interlock® Lifetime Roofing System installer for British Columbia
Manufactured at 9969 River Way, Delta, BC
GuildQuality GuildMaster Award for service excellence
Better Business Bureau rating
Baeumler Approved
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.
Coastline: Province of British Columbia, Coastal Marine Strategy ↗ gives "more than 26,000 kilometres"; federal mapping gives 25,725 km. Product figures are the manufacturer's: interlockroofing.com ↗
Homes and beyond
The same interlocking aluminum system goes on a family home, a strata complex or a church. We install it across British Columbia on:
Antarctica · U.S. National Science Foundation
Interlock® standing seam roofing and Black Diamond siding on six SPOT modules that travel between McMurdo Station and the South Pole, in −51 °C and winds up to 161 km/h. More than 32,000 completed Interlock® roofs across Canada and the USA, and these at the bottom of the world.

Kelowna aluminum roofing profiles we install: slate, cedar shingle, shake, 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
Our own crews install Interlock® aluminum roofs across the central Okanagan: Glenmore, Rutland, the Mission, Kettle Valley and Black Mountain in Kelowna; Westbank, Glenrosa, Shannon Lake and Lakeview Heights in West Kelowna; and Winfield, Oyama, Okanagan Centre and Carr's Landing in Lake Country. Every panel is 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 aluminum roofing, for Kelowna
Wildfire
Lightning started the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire, which burned 25,912 hectares and destroyed 239 homes. In August 2023 the McDougall Creek fire destroyed 70 homes in West Kelowna, three in Kelowna and two in Lake Country. On our roofs, Class A Fire Rated is available, as a complete assembly, and the aluminum itself does not ignite. No roof is fireproof, so we check gutters and vents with you as well.
Dry heat
Kelowna International Airport records only 386.9 mm of precipitation in an average year (1981–2010 normals), and its record high is 45.7 °C. Long, dry summers are hard on roofs made of wood or asphalt. Heavy-gauge aluminum has neither, so there is nothing on the roof to dry out, crack or split in the sun.
Snow
The airport station also averages 89.0 cm of snow a year. Snow comes off a metal roof quickly, which matters on the sloped lots of Dilworth Mountain, Black Mountain and Glenrosa, where a driveway or deck often sits right below the eaves. We mark where snow guards go when we measure the roof, so they are part of the price from the start.
Wind
High winds made the McDougall Creek fire expand rapidly, and on the night of August 17, 2023 it jumped Okanagan Lake, starting new fires near Glenmore Highlands and Okanagan Centre. Interlock® panels lock on four sides and are warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification. On exposed lakeside and hilltop lots we give the ridge, eaves and flashings extra care.
Recycled
And the last tear-off your house is likely to need.

Straight answers
Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country. In Kelowna that includes Glenmore, Rutland, the Mission, Pandosy, Kettle Valley, Black Mountain and Dilworth Mountain; in West Kelowna, Westbank, Glenrosa, Rose Valley, Shannon Lake and Lakeview Heights; in Lake Country, Winfield, Oyama, Okanagan Centre and Carr's Landing. The rest of the Okanagan and the Shuswap are covered at okanaganroofing.com, by the same company and crews.
Yes. Interlock® Slate, Interlock® Cedar Shingle, Interlock® Shake and Interlock® Mediterranean Tile are all interlocking aluminum shingles, and we also install Interlock® Standing Seam and solid copper. They go on roofs with a slope of 3/12 or steeper. Our crews take off the existing roof and install the new one; we don't do asphalt work or small repairs.
It takes one fuel source off the house. Aluminum does not ignite, and Class A Fire Rated is available, as a complete assembly: two layers of GAF VersaShield® over 12 mm (15/32-inch) plywood, tested to ASTM E108. The Kelowna area has lost homes to the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire and the 2023 McDougall Creek fire. No roof is fireproof, and FireSmart BC advises clearing gutters and screening vents with three-millimetre non-combustible mesh.
Each municipality runs its own building department: the City of Kelowna, the City of West Kelowna and the District of Lake Country. A straight roof replacement and work that changes the roof structure are treated differently, and the details vary between the three. We check what applies to your address, along with any strata approval, before the crew is booked.
Start with our metal roof cost page, which lists price ranges by profile from our own BC contracts. Every roof is priced on its own structure and conditions, so treat those numbers as a rough guide only. An accurate written price needs a roof consultation, either on Zoom or in your home.
It is a brand name. Best Roof® is a registered trademark of I.E.L. Manufacturing Ltd., and "Kelowna's Best Roof®" names the same Interlock® aluminum roof our BC company installs across the province. It is not a ranking or an award.
Free, no obligation
A free consultation on Zoom 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.
