[MINO Column] Planting and Colorful Wooden Decks

Artificial wood "Sai-boku" that mimics the appearance of natural wood and has a pleasant texture. It doesn't get hot easily and is free from cracks and splinters, making it safe for children and pets!

Artificial wood Ayagi is a decking material that combines weather resistance and durability. It has a texture so realistic that even craftsmen mistake it for "real wood." Each piece is manufactured using a mold that has been shaped from the grain of actual natural wood, employing a "mold forming" technique. We are particular about expressing the beauty of natural wood grain, featuring fine, smooth curves and varying depths of texture. Ayagi not only has the appearance of natural wood but also offers the advantages of artificial wood, such as being less prone to heating up and not absorbing water. To allow everyone to experience the look, feel, and performance of Ayagi, we are currently offering free cut samples. 【New Color Information】 Eight new colors have been added to the Ayagi wood decking! Together with the existing nine colors, there are now 17 color options available for decking. In addition to wood grain colors that match flooring and colorful accent colors, simple and easy-to-match stone-like colors have also been added.

• Wood deck (synthetic wood/resin)

A low-maintenance product that reproduces the texture of natural wood and has excellent weather resistance.

The non-bis method and staggered layout have made it possible to feel the texture of the colored wood even more. With a texture similar to natural wood, it creates a safe space where children can play barefoot. The hybrid colored wood garden deck replicates the quality of natural wood and is a low-maintenance product with excellent weather resistance. Additionally, it does not heat up easily and has no splinters, making it a safe and secure wooden deck for children to play barefoot. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.*

• Wood deck (synthetic wood/resin)

A wood deck that achieves insulation and lightweight design! Suitable for rooftops and balconies!

The non-bis method and staggered layout have made it possible to feel the texture of the colored wood even more. The wood deck, which provides insulation when laid down, is ideal for balconies and rooftops. Since it uses polyurethane as insulation material, it also has insulating effects on rooftops. Additionally, it is a lightweight wood deck that places less burden on buildings, making it effective for earthquake resistance.

• Wood deck (synthetic wood/resin)

Even craftsmen mistake the texture of the wood! Easy to install, high-performance decking material.

The "Colorful Wood Octodeck" is a decking material that achieves a wood texture and feel so realistic that even craftsmen can be mistaken. The low thermal conductivity of polyurethane prevents heat accumulation, softening the sensation of heat and cold upon contact. Moreover, its density is ten times that of standard polyurethane insulation! It achieves a color difference of ΔE 1.6 and an A-grade tolerance after 3000 hours of weather resistance testing (equivalent to 10 years). It is lightweight, splinter-free, rot-resistant, and easy to install—just lay it down on a dedicated mat. Right now, we are offering free cut samples! ■ Easy to install and removable ■ Ten times the density of standard polyurethane insulation! High insulation ■ Lower thermal conductivity than wood, making it less likely to retain heat ■ Approximately 10 kg/m² and lightweight ■ Safe and secure as it does not splinter or rot ■ Maintains over 80% gloss after 10 years of weather resistance testing ■ Protects the waterproof layer from UV rays and falling objects

―― Is attendance management becoming a "burden" without you realizing it? A seminar to quickly learn about common issues and their solutions ―― We will be holding our attendance management web seminar in October, which takes place several times a year! The content is new, so whether you have participated in our webinars before or not, please feel free to join us.
