Inquiry Details

We received an inquiry from a customer residing in Yokohama City. Since the building is over 10 years old, they are considering roof construction.

Our proposal
Based on the customer’s preferences, we provided estimates for multiple types of roofing materials.
After reviewing the estimates, they chose the Super Galtect manufactured by Aijii Industry, as it has a high durability and excellent insulation properties.

Roof Overlay (Cover Method) Construction Procedure

1. Dismantling Existing Ridge and Snow Stops

We will dismantle unnecessary parts (ridge cap and snow guards) for the roof overlay!
The existing ridge base is made of cedar, which has a durability of about 10 to 15 years.

Exceeding the durability period can lead to corrosion and discoloration, resulting in the detachment and scattering of the ridge cap.

2. Roofing Installation (Waterproof Sheet) &Accessory Processing (Karakusa, Keraba,Valley,Ridge Base)

Next, we will lay the roofing sheet (waterproof sheet) on top of the base. We used Tajima Roofing / Tadi Self Cover, which is a highly durable and waterproof roofing material.

Tadi Self Cover is the ideal roofing sheet for the cover method of fragile slate materials, such as non-asbestos roofing materials. It serves as a secondary waterproofing layer, and as long as the roofing is secure, it basically won’t leak!

We will firmly attach this to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Since there are various durability periods and characteristics for roofing sheets, it is important to choose a roofing sheet that matches the durability of the new roofing material and the roof slope!

Before the main roof construction, we will process and install accessories such as keraba and karakusa. The accessories used are genuine accessories from Super Galtect, made of SGL copper plate!

3.Main Construction (Aijii Industry / Super Galtect)

After processing the components, we will install the Galttect main body up to the ridge. After processing the components, we will install the Galttect main body up to the ridge!
The roofing material will be secured with stainless steel renovation screws!

At the ridge, we will install the necessary ridge substrate to secure the ridge flashing. The batten we handle comes in three types: cedar, resin, and Galvalume steel, and this time we used Galvalume steel.

Galvalume steel is expected to have three times the durability of cedar, and unlike resin or cedar, it does not crack, making it a reliable choice!

Our original integrated waste board Galvalume steel ridge substrate is highly durable, has strong fixing power, and excellent wind resistance! Even if rainwater enters from the ridge, it has a mechanism to discharge rainwater to the outside, demonstrating high waterproofing performance!

4.Ridge Flashing Processing and Sealing at Various Locations

Next, we will process and install the ridge cap. We will firmly apply sealing on the inside of the joints, and at the wall edge, we will process and install a component called a rain gutter flashing.

The screws used for fixing will be stainless steel screws with washers that are resistant to rust!

Unlike nails, screws with washers are less likely to pull out and firmly secure the ridge cap to the purlin!

Although it is not visible after installation, by attaching a face plate inside the ridge cap, waterproofing is enhanced! It effectively protects the ridge, which is a critical area of the roof.

5. Cleaning

We will clean up any debris that has fallen onto the balcony and other areas. We will thoroughly remove items like nails and metal scraps that could cause injuries. Additionally, we will wipe away any footprints left on the roof to ensure it looks clean.

About the Roofing Material

The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aijii Industrial. The Super Galtect comes with a 15-year paint warranty and a 25-year hole warranty, and we also provide a 10-year workmanship warranty!

Made of SGL steel plate, it is highly resistant to rust. The insulation material is tightly adhered from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal sheet that integrates the steel plate and insulation.

During installation, insulation is applied even to the areas where the roofing materials overlap, and the surface is coated with a highly heat-reflective paint, allowing for a cool summer and a warm winter. Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.

Moreover, it is lightweight compared to other roofing materials, which reduces the sway during earthquakes, making it a good earthquake countermeasure. It excels in finish, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, and our company has the most installations of Aijii Industrial’s Super Galtect, making it highly sought after!
