What Hurricane Data Exists for Beaufort?

Two recent storms are well documented. During Irene on August 27, 2011, NWS Newport/Morehead City logged an unofficial 70 mph gust in Beaufort, with the storm's landfall near Cape Lookout. During Florence in 2018, the NOS tide gauge at Beaufort recorded a storm surge of 5.51 feet above normal tide levels, and the Beaufort airport measured a 62-knot gust (about 71 mph), according to the National Hurricane Center. The North Carolina Residential Code sets an ultimate design wind speed for every location in Table R301.2(5), and the values rise toward the coast; where the design speed is 130 mph or more, the NC Department of Insurance requires a licensed engineer's structural analysis of framing fasteners. Interlock's warranted wind resistance is 120 mph when installed to manufacturer specification. Your permit office, and your engineer where one is required, set the requirement for your house.

Why Aluminum So Close to the Water?

Aluminum does not rust. Interlock panels are about 98% heavy-gauge aluminum with concealed fasteners and a 70% PVDF Alunar finish, so they are corrosion-resistant in the salt air of a waterfront town.

Does Beaufort's Historic District Review Roofs?

The Town of Beaufort requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before work begins on exterior changes to buildings in the historic district, per its Building in the Historic District page. Whether your roof replacement counts as an exterior change, and which profiles are acceptable, is a question for Planning & Inspections and the Historic Preservation Commission before you choose a material. Interlock's slate and cedar-shingle profiles reproduce traditional roof textures, but approval is the commission's decision.

How Wet Is It?

NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the Beaufort airport put annual precipitation at 55.68 inches and the summer average high at 85.4°F. Humid, salty air is hard on wood shakes and organic shingles.
