What is the exterior wall cover method?

This page will explain the recommended points, precautions, and costs related to the exterior wall cover method!

The exterior wall cover method is a construction process that overlays a new exterior wall on top of the existing one.
It can be applied to various types of exterior walls, including ALC walls, ceramic siding, and mortar walls.
The materials used for the exterior wall cover method are generally lightweight and durable metal sidings.

While the costs are higher compared to exterior wall painting, this method of exterior wall renovation has various advantages and is gaining attention year by year.

Why is the exterior wall cover method so popular?

Here are the “five points” that explain why Kakeru Koumuten’s exterior wall cover method is well-received!

Point 1 Super high durability!!

Metal siding offers an overwhelmingly high expected lifespan compared to exterior wall painting.
There are different types of metal siding, including galvalume steel, SGL steel, and aluminum, and with aluminum, you can expect a lifespan of over 40 years!
Additionally, unlike ceramic siding or mortar walls, it does not crack or break, making durability one of its advantages!
If high-durability sealing materials are used, maintenance may not be needed for nearly 30 years!

Point 2 Improved insulation!!

The metal siding used in the exterior wall cover method comes with integrated insulation.
Moreover, by installing battens before the metal siding, a ventilation layer is created, significantly enhancing insulation performance!
This improvement in insulation is arguably the greatest benefit of the exterior wall cover method!

Point 3 Comprehensive warranty for peace of mind!!

While many construction companies offer their own warranties for exterior painting, manufacturer warranties are generally not included.
Metal siding comes with solid manufacturer warranties such as coating and perforation guarantees, making it a reassuring choice for long-term exterior renovations!

Point 4 Improved waterproofing!!

The double layer of exterior materials significantly enhances waterproofing by preventing rainwater intrusion.
Applying waterproof paper before construction further increases waterproofing effectiveness!

Point 5 Enhanced design!!

Various designs of metal siding, including wood grain and tile patterns

Metal siding allows for a finish that resembles a new construction, which is impossible to achieve with exterior painting.
There are various designs available, from simple styles to tile and wood grain patterns.
You can choose from a variety of designs to match the atmosphere of your building and your personal preferences!

What should you be aware of when it comes to exterior wall cover work with metal siding?

Next, we will explain the “three points to be cautious about” when using the exterior wall cover method with metal siding!

Caution 1 Few contractors can perform the work

There are significantly fewer contractors capable of performing the metal siding cover method compared to exterior painting contractors.
Many inexperienced contractors exist, leading to potential issues and price variations.
If you are considering the metal siding exterior wall cover method, be sure to obtain estimates from at least three companies and carefully review the details!

Caution 2 Prone to dents and scratches

Metal siding can develop dents from impacts when objects hit it.
Additionally, susceptibility to scratches is one of its drawbacks.
If noticeable scratches occur and are a concern, you can request repairs from a specialized repair contractor!

Caution 3 Long construction period

The exterior wall cover work is arguably the most extensive renovation among exterior renovations.
While exterior painting typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks, the exterior wall cover work can often take nearly a month.
The lengthy construction period can be a source of stress for residents, making it one of the drawbacks.

Construction Procedure for Exterior Wall Covering

Let me briefly explain the flow of the exterior wall covering construction!

1. Painting of Accessory Parts

We will first paint areas not covered by exterior wall siding (eaves, gables, nose hides, etc.). To match the durability of the siding, we recommend using high-durability paints such as inorganic or fluorine types.

2. Removal of Equipment

We temporarily remove items that may obstruct the siding, such as rain gutters and air conditioning ducts.

3. Substrate Adjustment

If there is significant deterioration, we will perform joint sealing and adjust the substrate if the exterior wall is warped.

4. Waterproof Paper Installation (may not be necessary)

We will apply a highly breathable moisture-permeable sheet over the entire exterior wall. If the building is over 25 years old or shows significant deterioration, we recommend installing a waterproof sheet, but if there are no issues, we may proceed without it.

5. Installation of Battens

We will install battens across the entire exterior wall. The battens will be fixed at intervals of 455 mm, and a wider board will be installed around the windows. If the siding used is horizontal, the battens will be installed vertically, and if the siding is vertical, the battens will be installed horizontally.

6. Metal Fabrication for Fittings

We will process and install corner bases, end caps, and foundation drip edge metal.

7. Main Construction

Finally, we will cut the main siding and secure it with screws from the bottom up. Once the installation of the main siding is complete, we will install joint covers and corners.

8. Sealing at Various Locations

We will apply sealing to areas that require waterproofing. It is recommended to use high-durability sealing materials such as Auton Exceed or SR Seal H100, which can be expected to last nearly 30 years, as long as the colors match.

9. Reinstallation of Equipment

We will reinstall the removed rain gutters and air conditioning ducts. If the rain gutter brackets are of the driven type, they may be changed to a screw-type.

10. Completion

Finally, cleaning and review will complete the work.

About the Cost of Exterior Wall Covering Work

This is a guideline table for the costs associated with exterior wall covering work.
It provides an estimate for the cost of a roof overlay (cover method) for a building with a total area of 30 tsubo.

The cost of the exterior wall covering work will be determined based on the following calculation.
Exterior wall area (㎡) × Siding unit price + Equipment removal and installation costs + Additional painting costs = Total amount
This will be the total.

Galvalume Steel 30 to 35 years Including Tax
Approximately 2,000,000 yen
(Siding unit price 11,000 yen/㎡~)
SGL Steel 35 to 40 years Including Tax

(Siding unit price 12,500 yen/㎡~)
Aluminum 40 years or more Including Tax
