Challenge
• The company was looking to rebuild the administrative office building in
Fukaya Factory, Saitama.
Materials Used
• EverGuard Extreme® TPO 50 mil
• ISO insulation
Solution
• EverGuard Extreme® TPO 50 mil was mechanically attached with ISO
insulation. EverGuard Extreme® TPO was selected because of its compatibility
with the atmosphere in Japan. The heat resistance and high solar reflectance
was important since the rooftop is covered with solar panels.
• “Sanko chose GAF EverGuard Extreme® TPO for the roof of their new
administration office building at their Fukaya factory for two reasons. First,
part of Sanko’s normal product testing practice is to install products on their
own buildings. Having these products at a location where they can closely
monitor their long-term performance is a benefit to Sanko.
Second, Sanko wanted a convenient location to bring prospective customers
where Sanko staff could demonstrate a fully working TPO and solar
installation. With the ever increasing popularity of solar roofing and the
proven performance of GAF EverGuard Extreme® TPO, Sanko is trying to be a
leader in the flat roof solar market in Japan.”
— Mr. Masakazu Hino, senior technical manager, stainless steel & single-ply
roofing, Sanko Metal Industrial Co., Ltd
Key Fact
• This test roof is an opportunity for Sanko to show its customers that they
trust EverGuard Extreme® TPO enough to install it on their own building.
