Interlock Industries (Ont.) Inc. is proud to announce its contribution to Habitat for Humanity® Orillia/Lake Country.

A new lifetime Interlock® brown aluminum Slate Roofing system and the costs of it’s installation was granted for a new home housing a family of seven located in Hawkestone, ON. This charitable donation was made possible by staff at Interlock Industries.

According to Mark Wenzel, President, Interlock Industries: “Being involved for decades in the home renovation industry, we felt that Habitat was the ideal way for us to give back to the community. We are pleased they accepted our donation of an environmentally sustainable lifetime metal roof. Our staff was good enough to donate their time to this project as well”. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian housing organization. Habitat seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness globally and make decent shelter a matter of public conscience and action. Habitat makes housing available to families for whom home ownership seemed impossible. Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, and affordable shelter.

Paul Kitchen, Building Chairperson for Habitat Orillia Lake Country (www.habitatorillia.ca) says: “Habitat Orillia/ Lake Country and our family are very grateful for this generous donation of the roofing system. What appealed most to us is the lifetime life cycle of the product, saving our family thousands in roof replacement. At a special ceremony on-site, Carol Sharpe (Volunteer Chair, Habitat for Humanity Orillia/Lake Country) presented a commemorative award in thanks and in recognition for this donation to Mr. Ted Jarvis, Regional Sales Manger for Interlock Industries (Ont.) Inc. Greg Wright, Regional Marketing Representative was also on hand to accept the award.

Paul continues: “Interlock Roofing is a perfect benefactor for Habitat, because we build Energy Star homes. Our goal is to build sustainable healthy housing and the Interlock® roof fits the bill. Interlock Roofing actually reduces greenhouse gas emissions, since it is not manufactured from hydrocarbon products as is conventional asphalt/composite roofing. Interlock® aluminum roofing is completely sustainable, being made from recycled and 100% recyclable materials.”

Metal roofing systems are widely used worldwide, and are quickly gaining market share in North America as concerns mount regarding the environment and the use of petrochemicals in traditional “remove and replace” roofing products. Aluminum can be recycled, and is therefore a sustainable and environmentally responsible product.

According to Gordon Warren, Product Manager, surpassing this quality standard is milestone for endurance that all manufacturers of quality metal roofing components hope to achieve. We have invested tremendous efforts to ensure our products can deal with all kinds of impact resistance scenarios, including hail. This ruling applies to three of our key product profiles… shingle, shake and tile. Our team is most pleased to present our products to the public with the assurances that UL 2218 confirms. Some homeowners with metal roofing systems meeting UL 2218 can actually qualify for deductions on their homeowners insurance.

However, no roofing products are totally hail proof, and damage, if any, is directly related to the immensity of the hailstone.

Aluminum metal roofing is designed to appeal to those who want the elegance of conventional roofing products such as shake and tile, but prefer never having to re-roof again. In many cases, this metal roofing can be installed directly over top of an existing roof, saving the costs of tear off and the environmental problems associated with disposal.
