Aluminum roof carport “PLAIN ROOF” released, a carport that blends into a variety of homes with a simple design that pursues harmony with the home
*Designed with consideration not only to residents but also to construction technicians, ensuring high construction quality with reduced construction costs*
YKK AP Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Akira Uozu) has launched the aluminum roof carport “PLAIN”, which has a simple design that blends into a variety of homes.
ROOF (plain roof)” will be released from November 1st.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the appearance of houses with simple designs that have a flat tone with few
irregularities and few structural parts. Even in surrounding exteriors, open exterior structures made up of minimal items that match the home have become mainstream, and building materials are moving towards simplicity, and attention to noiseless details can be seen. Under these circumstances, there is a need for carports that protect cars to have a simple design that blends in seamlessly with the home.
In order to meet these demands, we have launched a new lineup of aluminum roof carports, “Plain Roof,” which blend in with residential spaces, with horizontal and vertical silhouettes and noiseless details, and cycle port “Plain Roof.”
Mini” will also be released at the same time.
“Plain Roof” has a design that pursues “simplicity” by eliminating unnecessary elements, and is available in a total of 11 colors that can be selected to match diversifying homes and lifestyles. With a silhouette based on horizontal and vertical tones that blends in with buildings, a slim roof shape, and noiseless details, the flat design with fewer irregularities in recent years blends seamlessly into homes with a variety of exterior wall colors, adding color to your life. We have taken into consideration the ease of use for residents, such as a “dead leaf net” that prevents clogging of dead leaves, and “under-pillar drainage parts” that support smooth drainage in rainy weather.
In addition, in order to resolve the shortage of construction technicians, which is an issue in the exterior industry, YKK We have incorporated construction-saving elements such as AP’s unique sealless construction to achieve stress-free and smooth construction.
We offer carports that have both good design and quality, and are suitable not only for the residents who use them, but also for the construction technicians who install them, and we will continue to propose total coordination of buildings and external structures.

Ensuring high construction quality through design that takes the construction site into account*
* [Product Features] *
* ■Simple design that pursues harmony with the home *
The nearly horizontal 3-degree roof slope and the inconspicuous beams create a form where only the roof and pillars are visible.
Furthermore, the roof is only 40mm thick, creating a slim and flat roof shape that makes a statement. In addition, the rainwater gutter is integrated into the roof and pillars, and the noiseless details do not expose screws or bolts at joints, creating a simple design that blends naturally into the building.
* ■A wide variety of 11 color variations *
While subtly incorporating the gray and brown colors that have been trending for cars and exterior walls in recent years, we have created sand beige and deep gray that have been embossed to reduce their luster, as well as narrow board-style designs that are particular about the delicate, high-quality wood look. Wood-tone colors “Natural Oak” and “Dry Teak” that reproduce the finish, “Matte Silver” which suppresses the gloss peculiar to aluminum by applying a blasting process to create a uniform surface and give a fine and calm impression, and the standard aluminum color. Available in a variety of colors and textures. With a total of 11 unique color variations, including two-tone color combinations, we offer the fun of choosing the one that best suits your home and lifestyle.
* ■Functionality with consideration for usability *
We have taken into consideration the ease of use for residents, including a “dead leaf net” that prevents clogged leaves and reduces maintenance effort, and “under-pillar drainage parts” that support smooth drainage while taking design into consideration.
In addition, functionality can be further improved with additional options such as a “blind panel” that protects privacy while
maintaining a high design quality, and “downlights” that improve safety when getting on and off the vehicle and create a beautiful garage space at night.
* ■Ensuring high construction quality through design that takes the construction site into consideration *
The unique design eliminates the need for waterproof sealing to be done on-site during construction to ensure water-stopping properties, and while ensuring water-stopping properties, it reduces the risk of water leakage due to deterioration of the sealing part or forgetting to apply it during construction. We support reliable construction regardless of the skill of the builder. In addition, each roofing material weighs approximately 3kg (*1) and has a maximum length of 3.1m, making it easy to handle during construction, so the design allows construction technicians to work smoothly, ensuring stable and reliable product quality. I will.
