The office environment varies with issues such as "It's hot by the window, but it's cold away from it," "The large window is too bright," and "I'm concerned about reflections on the monitor." Akari-na Contract Reflect solves these problems with its high heat insulation and reflective diffusion performance. The solar reflectance of the Reflect horizontal type is the highest at 84.6% with Akari-na C. It is especially recommended for windows with strong sunlight, such as those facing west. It improves air conditioning efficiency, thereby reducing power consumption. Reflect cuts 99.9% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays that can cause sunburn and skin cancer. It protects your skin from sunburn and prevents discoloration of interiors. *1 The daylighting blinds "Akari-na" have different specifications, warranty contents, and services for corporate and personal use.

A comfortable indoor environment varies depending on location, purpose, and layout. Therefore, we have created custom-made blinds, Akari-na Contract, that can adapt to any environment. By using milky slats that transmit and diffuse light and reflective slats that reflect light within a single blind, we can control natural light according to the environment. For example, at eye level, the reflective slats reduce glare and provide heat insulation, while the upper part near the ceiling uses milky slats to let in light. This balances daylighting and heat insulation, addressing issues of "darkness," "heat," and "glare" all at once. Note: The daylighting blinds "Akari-na" come in versions for corporate and personal use, differing in product specifications, warranty content, and services. The corporate version of Akari-na is called AKARINA contract (hereafter referred to as "Akari-na C").

As a company committed to reducing CO2 emissions, we have shown interest in new energy-saving measures utilizing the daylighting and heat insulation performance of Akari-na C*, and we have adopted Akari-na Hybrid in our new factory. The slats in the upper section of the hybrid are adjusted according to the direction. For example, the north side maximizes daylighting with Milky 70, while the west side uses Eco 35 for a more modest amount of light. By reducing the impact of radiant heat from the windows, comfort has improved, and as a result, the adoption has expanded to our group companies. ■ Installation Direction ■ All directions ■ Type of Blinds Used ■ Hybrid: Custom-made blinds.
