◆Customer's Concerns◆ - Strong weeds like horsetail have penetrated the asphalt and sprouted, obstructing the passage of bicycles and pedestrians. (Weeds are growing from cracks in the traffic area, not just at the edge of the sidewalk.) ◆Customer Feedback After Construction◆ - With the weeds gone, bicycle traffic has become smoother. - The height difference of the joint barrier sheet is not very noticeable anymore.

◆Customer Concerns◆ - Weeds are overgrown in the central divider, making it difficult to see oncoming traffic. - Weeds hit the car while driving. ◆Customer Feedback After Construction◆ - The weeds are well controlled, resulting in good visibility while driving! - There is no longer a need to avoid weeds while driving, reducing the risk of accidents!

◆Customer's Concerns◆ - We were troubled by weeds growing from under the guardrail installed along the riverside road. When pedestrians passed by the roadside, the tall grass would brush against their legs, hindering their walking. There was also littering. - It was difficult to manage the weeds around the joints and posts because the grass cutter would hit them, making weed management challenging. ◆Customer Feedback After Construction◆ - Since the weeds are gone, we can now walk comfortably up to the roadside! There is no more littering. - With no need for grass cutting, managing the weeds has become much easier!

◆Customer Concerns◆ - Weeds are overgrown on the sidewalk, obstructing passage. - Tall weeds are flourishing along the edge of the sidewalk, making it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians. This is particularly dangerous near intersections, where the risk of traffic accidents is high. ◆Customer Feedback After Construction◆ - The weeds are well controlled, making the sidewalk wider and easier to pass! - It is now much easier to see pedestrians, reducing the risk of traffic accidents!

◆Customer Concerns◆ - When tall weeds grow from the sidewalk joints, the bus stop becomes hard to see, making it difficult for bus users to utilize it. - It obstructs pedestrian passage. ◆Customer Feedback After Work Completion◆ - The weeds are gone, and the bus stop is clearly visible from a distance! - There are no weeds obstructing passage, allowing for comfortable movement!

In the past, with the materials and methods used, when there were significant unevenness or height differences in the pavement joints, the strong grass joint sheet would float above the pavement. Additionally, it was difficult to apply, leading to poor workability. However, by changing the materials and methods this time, it has become applicable even to joints with unevenness and height differences. Furthermore, using a roller for pressing has improved workability. Previously, both adhesive and sealing materials were used, but now it is possible to achieve adhesion and sealing with just "Adhesive D Touch." Additionally, the process of spreading the adhesive on the sheet with a notched trowel has been eliminated, resulting in a reduction of tools and less mess when applying the sheet.

◆Customer Concerns◆ - Weeds are thriving from the edges of the block stones. Since this is a visible area in front of the station, we want to keep it clean. - During the weed growth season, we request mowing from the Silver Human Resources Center twice a month. ◆Material Selection POINT◆ - For weed prevention in joints, we usually use "joint barrier sheets (L-shaped)," but due to the uneven surface of the block stones, installation of the sheets is difficult. We selected a weed prevention rubber coat that can be applied to any shape. ◆Customer Feedback◆ - Even after four months, we are able to effectively suppress the weeds, maintaining the appearance of the area in front of the station. - The frequency of mowing during the hot season when weeds thrive has decreased, resulting in reduced management costs.

◆Site Conditions◆ - The landscape was compromised due to overgrown weeds. - There were supports around the joints, making it labor-intensive when using sheet-type weed control materials. ◆Impressions After Construction◆ - The surface of the NEO sealing hardened quickly, requiring frequent leveling work. (This may vary depending on weather and site conditions.) - One month later, during the peak of weed growth, it has been effectively suppressed. This leads to a reduction in the labor required for weeding that was previously done every time weeds appeared.

◆Site Conditions◆ - Since "Chigaya Sheet" has been installed on the slope of the prefectural road, it is effectively suppressing weeds; however, weeds such as Mehisiba and Enokorogusa have emerged from the joints of the sidewalk. ◆Impressions After Construction◆ - There are few materials and tools required, making it possible for one person to carry out the work. - No special skills are needed, so anyone can easily perform the installation.

◆Site Conditions◆ - Dust has accumulated in the joints of the sidewalk curbs and cracks in the sidewalk, leading to overgrown weeds. There have been many requests for grass cutting due to it obstructing passage. - There were areas with significant pavement elevation differences or deterioration that could not be addressed with conventional joint measures. ◆Feedback on Construction (Post-Construction)◆ - Since we were able to address areas that had not been manageable before, this will help reduce the need for grass cutting work.

Weeds unexpectedly grow in cracks in concrete and asphalt, as well as in raised edges. If these weeds are left unattended, they can quickly become overgrown, causing not only a loss of aesthetic appeal but also various safety issues, such as reduced visibility. Taking early measures against these weeds is key to long-term maintenance. This time, we have summarized measures against joint weeds, so please refer to it. <Contents> ■ Why do weeds grow in joints? ■ Materials to suppress weeds in joints ■ Various places are adopting weed prevention materials for joints ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shirasaki Corporation offers a variety of weed prevention materials for joints. If you're unsure which material to choose, please feel free to contact us! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We often see weeds growing from the joints on sidewalks and other areas. The material used to suppress these gap weeds is called "joint weed control material." There are various types of "joint weed control materials," including sheet types and sealing types, as well as heated and adhesive types within the sheet category. Regardless of the material used, if the installation is done improperly, weeds will appear within a few months, resulting in disappointing outcomes. To avoid failures, we provide a "construction manual" for each type of material. It includes detailed points, so please use it as a reference. Additionally, we offer a "construction guidance service." If you are a municipality or contractor using our materials for the first time and feel uncertain about the installation, our representative will visit the site to provide guidance. If you need assistance, please let us know. We will directly explain the key points for successful installation. ● Please note that there may be cases where we cannot accommodate certain locations or conditions. Thank you for your understanding in advance.
