[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

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.
