[Case Study] YKK Zippers: Examples of Adoption in Construction Protective Nets

Simplifying the "net removal" work to prepare for strong winds! Easily create an escape route for the wind by simply making holes with a zipper.

◆Background of Adoption for Construction Protective Netting Use ~The Burden of “Removing the Net” Work in Preparation for Strong Winds~ In construction sites, protective sheets known as "yousei sheets" are used to prevent paint splatter and other issues. When strong winds are expected, such as during typhoons, these sheets can catch the wind and potentially lead to scaffold collapse. As a result, the sheets must be removed each time strong winds are forecasted, creating a significant burden. ◆Key Points for Problem Solving (How Fastening Helped) Since the vents can be opened and closed with fasteners, it has become easy to create "holes" in the protective sheets to allow the wind to escape simply by opening the fasteners. Consequently, the work that previously required removing all protective sheets can now be done with only partial removal, successfully reducing the burden of the removal and installation work, leading to a decrease in labor costs. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below.*
