Bubble wrap not only has cushioning properties but also excels in insulation. It can be used as supplementary supplies for evacuation life, such as "laying on the floor," "sticking to windows," and "providing warmth."

Normally used as packaging material, 'bubble wrap' can be utilized differently during emergencies and disasters. It is recommended to stockpile bubble wrap in advance for various uses during such times. The insulation effect of bubble wrap can provide the following benefits: ■ Laying it on the floor It softens the hardness of floors in places like gymnasiums and alleviates cold from the ground. ■ Sticking it to windows It reduces the intrusion of cold air from windows. ■ Wrapping it around water pipes It makes water pipes less likely to freeze. ■ Wearing it or wrapping it around the body It helps to keep warm. ■ Popping the bubbles It helps relieve accumulated stress. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

In recent years, while the size of residential spaces has been shrinking, there has been a growing demand from architects and designers for designs that "reduce lines as much as possible." However, designing spaces to appear clean and spacious by making door heights reach the ceiling or by minimizing the visibility of frames has posed challenges that require high skill levels from carpenters and significant construction time when attempted with conventional on-site construction methods. Against this backdrop, this year's Dretas has developed doors and storage fixtures that do not reveal frames, with the concept of "creating a noise-free space with empty space." ■ Base Frame (Fixtures) The structure hides the frame within the wall, achieving a refined design without the frame being visible from either side. It features a specially designed frame and concealed hinges that allow for 180-degree opening and closing. Frame widths (132mm, 147mm, 183mm) are set to accommodate wall thickness, eliminating the need for frame processing and supporting smooth installation. ■ Outset Frame (Storage Fixtures) The structure has the frame attached to the inside of the door, allowing the door and wall to fit flatly together. It can be configured for two or three panels, seamlessly blending even large wall storage into the space as if it were "just a wall." By using additional elements like the 3mm thick "Baseboard S-type," the installation becomes even more beautiful, enhancing the noise-free space.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who want to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway.
