Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Lunenburg, Nova Scotia Homeowners

What’s the best roofing system for Lunenburg’s coastal climate?

Living in Lunenburg means dealing with salty ocean air, intense winds, fog, heavy snow, and the occasional hurricane. A roof here needs to do more than just look good—it needs to resist corrosion, shed snow, and stay put in strong winds. That’s where Interlock Aluminum Roofing shines. It’s made for coastal environments, unlike steel roofing, which can rust, or asphalt shingles, which wear down quickly under salty conditions.
Asphalt shingles are inexpensive up front but don’t last long near the sea. They’re prone to curling, cracking, algae, and wind damage, especially in coastal towns like Lunenburg. Interlock’s aluminum system comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, is wind-resistant, and doesn’t absorb moisture—making it a far better long-term investment.

No. Aluminum doesn’t rust, which is crucial in Lunenburg’s salt-rich air. Steel roofing systems—even galvanized or coated—can corrode over time. Interlock roofs are made from marine-grade aluminum and finished with a protective Alunar Coating designed specifically for longevity in Atlantic Canada’s coastal conditions.

Composite roofing mimics the look of slate but is still prone to UV fading, cracking, and shorter lifespans in harsh climates. Interlock’s Slate Shingle profile delivers the same look with better durability and resistance to wind, salt, and snow. Plus, it’s lighter and easier to maintain.
Lunenburg has many historic homes where natural slate fits the style—but it’s very heavy, expensive, and can crack under freeze-thaw cycles common in Nova Scotia. Interlock Slate Shingles offer a lightweight, durable alternative that honors the traditional look without the structural strain or risk of breakage.
Rubber shingles or membranes (like EPDM) are usually reserved for flat or low-slope roofs. In Lunenburg, most homes have pitched roofs, and rubber materials aren’t as attractive or durable for residential use. They can also degrade under UV exposure. Interlock provides architectural style with 50+ years of performance.
Yes. The 4-way interlocking design ensures that each panel connects tightly on all sides, making it one of the most wind-resistant roofing systems available. It’s tested and trusted in high-wind areas—including along the Atlantic coast—where Nor’easters and hurricanes can roll in without warning.

Absolutely. Interlock roofs are coated with heat-reflective Alunar finishes that help reduce heat absorption in the summer while also providing excellent insulation support in winter. That means lower heating and cooling bills year-round, even in Lunenburg’s changing seasons.

Yes. Interlock offers profiles that mimic traditional slate, cedar shake, and tile, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for strength. Homes in Lunenburg’s historic district can benefit from the classic look of slate or shake, with none of the constant maintenance or structural reinforcement needed by heavier materials.

Because it’s made to last, built for salt air, wind, and snow, and it never needs to be replaced. While asphalt and other materials may seem cheaper upfront, they require re-roofing every 10–20 years. Interlock comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, is solar panel–compatible, and keeps its curb appeal for decades. That’s why more and more homeowners in Lunenburg are choosing Interlock—the last roof they’ll ever need.
Lunenburg’s beauty comes with some roofing challenges: ocean air, snow loads, wind, and historic standards. Interlock Metal Roofing is the answer. It’s rust-proof, wind-tough, energy-efficient, and designed to last for life—all while complementing the town’s unique coastal charm.
