A feature article has been published in the building materials magazine for first-class architects, 【CLASS1 ARCHITECT 2021 vol.4】!

The "Shin-Tokoname City Hall" has adopted large electric roller screens. New guide rails were developed to match the shape of the site. High sound insulation was also praised!

We would like to introduce a case study of the installation of the LUTRON electric roller shades 'Sivoia QS' that we handle. ~ A large electric roller shade with a height of 11.5M has been adopted! ~ [Installation Achievements] ■ Project Name: Tokoname City Hall, Aichi Prefecture ■ Size: W1460×H11580 and others ■ Number of Units: 8 ■ Adoption Points: We developed a new guide rail tailored to the 50mm width of the vertical shape of the site. We successfully enabled smooth ascent and descent through a narrow gap of just 75mm between the wall and the stairs. The installation location is in a spacious atrium, and due to the potential for sound reverberation, we prioritized high sound insulation. Utilizing the space from the window. We will plan and propose roller shades tailored to the facility's concept. For roller shades, please leave it to us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to consult us first.

By using a Φ65 pipe, it enables compatibility with large sizes! It creates a bright space without compromising the sense of openness.

We would like to introduce a case where a large manual roller screen "CR-65" was installed at the new Tokoname City Hall. The possible size for manufacturing manual roller screens rarely exceeds a width of 3 meters. In this case, by using a Φ65 pipe for a window measuring 3.1m in width and 3.2m in height, we were able to accommodate a larger size. Even for large manual roller screens exceeding 3 meters, they can be operated with light force due to the use of a 6:1 gear. Additionally, even when the screen is lowered, the use of mesh fabric allows for a bright space without compromising the sense of openness. 【Product Overview】 ■ Product Name: CR-65 (Chain, Large Type/Manual) ■ Size: W3.1m × H3.2m, etc. ■ Quantity: 153 units *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Print your favorite pattern on the fabric and turn it into a roll screen! Here are some examples of installation as a back panel.

Here is an introduction to a case where we were hired by the new Tokoname City Hall. In this project, we printed the Tokoname City logo and character on plain roller screen fabric. We adjusted the design to fit the size, taking into account the final appearance of the roller screen based on the data provided. Since the weight bar is wrapped inside the fabric, it is hidden, resulting in a printed fabric that extends from the top to the bottom of the screen. The appearance of the printed fabric is not compromised by the weight bar. 【Product Overview】 ■ Product Name: Sivoia QS-100 (Electric) ■ Size: W2m × H3m ■ Quantity: 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

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.
