We will reinforce the outer perimeter continuously and integrally without removing the exterior wall from the outside.
Gankomon is a seismic reinforcement method that continuously reinforces the outer perimeter of a building without removing the exterior walls. In traditional methods, only some of the load-bearing walls (walls that resist earthquakes) are reinforced to their limits, and no reinforcement can be applied to openings such as windows. "Gankomon" ensures that even the weak parts have sufficient strength and can reinforce the outer perimeter of the building, which is the most effective area for reinforcement. Since it is a completely external retrofitting method, there are no concerns about tidying up rooms or anxiety during outings during construction. 【Features】 ○ Integrated reinforcement of existing homes ○ Covers the shortcomings of traditional wooden frame construction ○ Reinforcement without changing the way of living (building functionality) ○ Acquired disaster prevention technology evaluation from the Japan Architectural Disaster Prevention Association ○ Patent obtained for seismic reinforcement method for wooden buildings For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Company information
F Design Co., Ltd. envisions a house that is well-balanced in "durability," "ease of use," "beauty," and "affordability." Since the beginning of the 21st century, the environment surrounding housing has become unprecedentedly complex and diverse. High durability, high insulation, energy-saving, resource-saving, barrier-free, low-cost, measures against sick house syndrome, 10-year warranty, DIY, environmental consideration, renovation, recycling, earthquake resistance, and seismic isolation are just a few examples. However, all of these pertain to the performance of housing and are, in a sense, matters that should naturally be included or can change according to the values of the time. There are certain aspects that have remained constant in housing throughout the ages. Those are "durability," "ease of use," "beauty," and "affordability." We aspire to create homes that are well-balanced in these four aspects. In other words, the ideal home that we at F Design seek is a "comfortable, safe, and lovable low-cost house that can be lived in for a long time."
