■Earthen Wall Design: Cracked Finish (Cracked Wall) The material of earthen walls, "earth," has a significant drying shrinkage, so to prevent shrinkage cracks, aggregates like "sand" and binding materials like "straw" are usually mixed in to prevent cracking. The cracked finish (cracked wall) involves intentionally mixing the earthen wall to allow for cracking, which is then applied to the wall as a finish. ■Points to Note About the Cracked Finish (Cracked Wall) The construction of the cracked finish (cracked wall) carries risks such as poor adhesion to the substrate and partial peeling, requiring expertise. Additionally, there are issues with surface strength; an untreated earthen wall may crumble and fall apart when touched. However, we have received numerous customer opinions stating that "the cracked appearance of the earthen wall creates a good atmosphere" and "it's stylish." In response, our company has developed specialized products for cracked walls, allowing customers to confidently apply the desired design, cracked finish (cracked wall), to their interior walls.

Shima Kabe Dokatto! is the only lightweight intermediate plaster that can be applied without exceeding a thickness of 10mm at once. It is particularly effective for old earthen wall repair work, where thick application is necessary. Not only can it be applied thickly, but it is also lightweight, reducing the weight burden and being gentle on the substrate. Additionally, it contains a drying accelerator to promote quick drying even when applied thickly, which helps shorten the construction period. While it can be applied in thicknesses exceeding 10mm at once, the thickness can be freely adjusted, allowing for applications of 3mm or 5mm as well. This lightweight intermediate plaster is recommended for situations requiring thickness, such as in wood-lath plaster and the core of namako walls (stick plaster). 【Features】 - Can be applied in thicknesses exceeding 10mm at once, making unevenness adjustment (smoothing out bumps) easy. - Lightweight even when applied thickly, reducing the burden on the substrate. - Excellent workability due to its lightweight nature, even when applied thickly. - Contains a drying accelerator for quick drying, even with thick applications, leading to shortened construction periods. - Thickness can be freely adjusted.

■ Unmatched Earthen Walls, Japan's Tradition "Earthen Wall Serenity" In the Kansai region, it is also referred to as "noritsuchi," a finishing material for earthen walls. The high-quality and elegant earthen walls, which are used only in cultural properties and tea rooms, were originally passed down only from master craftsmen to their apprentices. We want you to experience this secret tradition of earthen wall spaces. ■ What is Earthen Wall Serenity... Natural earthen walls do not have the strength of tiles, nor the flexibility of wallpaper. The construction is labor-intensive, and one can be anxious about the skill of the plasterer. What we can say about Earthen Wall Serenity, which has been in business since the first year of the Taisho era, is that it has been used for over a hundred years, and it is summed up in the words of those who have purchased it: "It feels calming." Catchphrases like "natural materials," "breathable," and "safe and secure" are not suitable for Earthen Wall Serenity. The earthen wall space, which has continued from the cave dwellings of human origins, has an affinity with the Japanese people. Even as architectural styles have changed from small plastered earthen walls to gypsum boards, rooms with earthen walls evoke the feeling of "somehow calming." That is Earthen Wall Serenity.

To construction companies that choose plaster: Solve your exterior plaster concerns! A hybrid plaster born from the voices of the field! "I want to apply plaster to the exterior, but... I don't want a traditional style! It's so outdated!" "Plaster on the exterior looks cool, but... it gets mold and dirt, right?" "A few years ago, the Western-style plaster I applied to a customer's house got mold... I want to repaint it!" For construction companies and architects with such concerns, this is a must-see! Utilizing the features of traditional Japanese plaster, such as fire resistance, antibacterial properties, deodorization, and humidity control, we have developed a high-function hybrid exterior plaster that enhances adhesion to the substrate, strength, dirt resistance, mold resistance, and water repellency, which are often considered weaknesses of plaster. As Western-style homes have increased, the eaves of the exteriors have become less pronounced, resulting in many walls being directly hit by rain. Consequently, there have been more reports of dirt and mold in properties constructed with traditional plaster. Shikkui Relime is a hybrid plaster born from the voices of such customers, and it can be safely used on the exteriors of Western-style homes.

By adding lightweight aggregates such as Kura-naoshi and sand to the plaster, it becomes a thick, lightweight plaster that can be applied without sagging at a thickness of 10 mm. Utilizing the non-sagging property of Kura-naoshi when applied thickly, changing the mixed aggregate to plastering sand allows for a "scraped finish" on the plaster. Additionally, when mixed with Shimakabe sand plaster, it accelerates drying and reduces the time until the top coat plaster can be applied. 【Features】 - Enables thick application just by mixing with plaster - Allows for a scraped finish on the plaster - Speeds up drying of the plaster, shortening construction time - Can also be mixed with regular sand plaster 【Notes】 - Cannot be used with Kura-naoshi alone. Please be sure to mix it with plaster. - Plaster mixed with Kura-naoshi cannot be stored. Use the mixed plaster on the same day. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
