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.

Parksville metal roofing, six ways: 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 in Parksville, from the streets behind Parksville Bay to Craig Bay and the Englishman River, and along the Oceanside coast to Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, Bowser and Deep Bay. The slate, shake and cedar shingle panels are 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 Parksville
Beachfront
Parksville is known for the sandy beaches of Parksville Bay and Craig Bay, and Rathtrevor Beach sits on its edge. Plenty of homes here are a short walk from salt water. There is no iron in aluminum, so the salt has nothing to rust; the metal seals itself with a thin film of oxide.
Rainfall
Environment Canada's 1971–2000 normals for the Parksville station average 1,314.2 mm of precipitation a year. A roof here is wet for months at a time. Interlock® panels lock together on four sides with hidden fasteners, and aluminum gives moss nowhere to take hold.
Interface
The Regional District's 2022 wildfire plan for Nanoose Bay describes Douglas-fir forest that breaks open into arbutus parkland in the driest places, and the plan for Bowser and Deep Bay puts about a third of that area in the wildland-urban interface. Aluminum does not ignite, and Class A is available as a complete assembly. No roof is fireproof.
Wind
From Parksville Bay to Deep Bay, the coast faces the Strait of Georgia, and winter storms reach the shore across open water. Installed to manufacturer specification, an Interlock® roof is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph). Panels that interlock on all four sides give the wind no loose edge to work at.
Recycled
And the last tear-off your house is likely to need.

Every Interlock® panel we install is manufactured by Interlock Roofing at 9969 River Way in Delta, the same address as our office.
Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. was founded on July 6, 1983 and is headquartered in Delta. Canadian owned and operated for 43 years.
The finished roof is made in BC and installed in BC. It never crosses a border on its way to your home.
Straight answers
The City of Parksville first, including Parksville Bay, Craig Bay and the neighbourhoods along the Englishman River, and the rest of Oceanside: Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, Bowser and Deep Bay. Nanaimo, the Comox Valley and the rest of Vancouver Island are covered at vancouverislandroofing.com. Same company, same crews.
Yes. Interlock® Slate, Interlock® Cedar Shingle, Interlock® Shake and Interlock® Mediterranean Tile are all interlocking aluminum shingles, and we install Interlock® Standing Seam and solid copper as well. Your roof needs a slope of 3/12 or more. We replace old asphalt, cedar and tile roofs; we don't patch or reshingle with asphalt.
Qualicum Beach adopted a Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan on June 26, 2024, and the Regional District of Nanaimo's 2022 plans cover Nanoose Bay, Bowser and Deep Bay, where the forests are mostly Douglas-fir. Aluminum itself won't burn, and on our roofs Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly. Embers can still reach gutters and vents, so we look at those with you.
In the city, the City of Parksville's Building department issues permits under its Building Bylaw. Qualicum Beach issues its own. In Nanoose Bay, Bowser and Deep Bay, the Regional District of Nanaimo states that "Building permits are required for any new construction, alteration, addition or demolition of a structure." None of those pages addresses re-roofing directly, so we confirm with the right office for your address.
Our metal roof cost page gives price ranges by profile from our own BC contracts. Because structure and other conditions differ from house to house, those figures are a rough guide only. A roof consultation at your home or on Zoom is needed for an accurate price.
Best Roof®, a registered trademark of I.E.L. Manufacturing Ltd., is the name we give the Interlock® roof. "Parksville's Best Roof®" is that same Interlock® aluminum roof, installed in Parksville and Oceanside by our BC company's own crews. Read it as a brand, not as a ranking.
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.
