目次
Roof Overlay (Cover Method) Construction Steps
1. Demolition of the existing roof ridge

2. Laying of roofing (waterproof sheet)
3. Fabrication of accessories (decorative scrolls and eaves)
4. Main construction

5. Ridge Cap and Rain Gutter Metal Processing

What is the Roof Overlay (Cover Method)?
The roof overlay method involves leaving the current roof almost intact and placing a new roof on top of it, effectively covering it.
Literally, it is a method of covering a roof with another roof. Therefore, the roof becomes double-layered. Since the roof is laid over, it is also referred to as “overlapping roofing.”
Advantages of the Overlay Method
Since a “new roof” is placed over the “current roof,” demolition work is almost unnecessary, meaning that very little waste is generated.
This is the biggest feature and leads to various advantages.
The only parts that require demolition and waste disposal are the ridge caps, making it more cost-effective compared to complete roof replacement.
In 2004, regulations regarding the concentration of asbestos in raw materials were changed (for more details, please visit the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s website).
Some building materials used in structures built before 2004 contain asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials are difficult to demolish due to their high environmental impact, and the costs for demolition and waste disposal are also high. The overlay method, which generates almost no waste, is ideal for such roofs.
Some may wonder, “Is it safe to live in a building that uses asbestos-containing materials?” but rest assured. As long as there is no destruction or crushing, it will not disperse into the air.
If you are unsure about the type of roof on your home, please feel free to consult us.
Additionally, the construction can be completed in a shorter time frame compared to painting or complete roof replacement. A shorter construction period means lower labor costs, which in turn makes the overall cost lower.
This also reduces the psychological anxiety of having to live in an unusual environment.
When scaffolding is set up, you may experience inconveniences such as difficulty entering and exiting or not being able to open windows. Being able to return to normal life in a short period is a significant advantage.
Our company specializes in roofing work, and the roof overlay method is the most frequently performed type of work we undertake. We are very grateful that we have been continuously engaged in roof overlay method projects without interruption.
About Roofing Materials
The roofing material used is the Super Galtect from Aji Industry.
The Super Galtect comes with a manufacturer warranty of 15 years for the coating and 25 years for perforation.
Our company also provides a 10-year construction warranty!
Made of SGL steel plate, it is resistant to rust.
Insulation material is thoroughly applied from edge to edge of the roofing material, creating a metal plate 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 experience.
Additionally, it has soundproofing properties, reducing the sound of rain.
Being lighter than other roofing materials, it also minimizes the sway during earthquakes, providing earthquake resistance.
With excellent finishing, durability, insulation, soundproofing, and wind resistance, the Super Galtect from Aji Industry is the most commonly used in our construction achievements and is gaining significant attention!
