Roof Overlay (Cover Method) | Construction Steps

1. Demolition of Existing Ridge and Snow Stops

We will dismantle unnecessary parts (ridge flashing) for the cover method! 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 or scattering of the ridge flashing.

2. Laying Roofing (Waterproof Sheet) & Fabrication of Accessories (Curly, Eaves, Valley)

Next, we will lay down the roofing sheet (waterproof sheet) on the base. The roofing used is Tajima Roofing / New Liner Roofing!

As a secondary waterproofing measure, if the roofing is properly installed, there will be no leaks!
When selecting a roofing sheet, choose one with a durability that is as close as possible to that of the new roofing material! New Liner Roofing has a durability that is relatively close to Super Galtect, so we recommend using New Liner Roofing when performing roofing work with Super Galtect!

3.Main Construction (Aijii Industry / Super Galtect)

Before the main roofing installation, we will process and install accessories such as eaves and ornamental patterns. The accessories used are genuine accessories for Super Galtect made of SGL copper plate!

4.Ridge Cap Processing & Sealing at Various Locations

After processing the accessories, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge. After processing the accessories, we will install the Galtect main body up to the ridge!

Once the installation reaches the ridge, we will set up the necessary materials to fix the ridge cap, known as the “kanban.” We offer three types of kanban: cedar, resin, and galvalume steel, and this time we used galvalume steel!

Galvalume steel offers three times the durability compared to cedar, and unlike resin or cedar, it does not crack, providing peace of mind! We also recommend selecting a base material for the ridge that has a durability close to that of the new roofing material, just like the roofing sheet.

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 guard metal.

The screws used for fixing will be rust-resistant stainless steel screws with washers!

Screws with washers are less likely to pull out compared to nails, securely fixing the ridge cap to the purlin!

Although it is not visible after installation, by attaching a face plate to the inside of the ridge cap, waterproofing is enhanced! It firmly protects the ridge, which is a critical part 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 keep it clean.

About Roofing Materials

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

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

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

Moreover, it is lighter 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 highest number of installations of Aijii Industry’s Super Galtect, making it highly regarded!

Additionally, we provide a 10-year construction warranty! This means you can use it with peace of mind for a long time after just one renovation.

Super Galtect is an excellent roofing material in terms of durability, but we also offer roofing materials with even higher durability and better insulation properties.

Summary

This concludes our exterior renovation work using the roof overlay method in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama.

The roof overlay method is currently the mainstream approach for roof renovations.
If you are considering the roof overlay method, be sure to check not only the roofing materials but also what auxiliary materials such as roofing sheets and purlins (ridge base) are being used. Make sure that materials with low durability are not being used for components other than the main body! Even if you use high-durability roofing materials, if the auxiliary materials are of low quality, you may incur costs for partial replacements or repairs.
