Characteristics of Hikarikabe

Hikarikabe offers open and comfortable living space.

The material lets light and the air while maintaining quake resistance to realize bright and ample living space.

General bearing wall	Hikarikabe
Before	After

Excellent quake-resistance

It was the very first plastic material to be certified by Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (certification No.: FRM-0138/wall ratio: 2.5).
Ultimate strength is 1.4 times more than plywood.
Comparison of wall dynamic vibration experiment
Brace/structural plywood/Hikarikabe

Experiment was performed by fixing the lower part and vibrating the upper part in the direction by arrow in the above pictures with interlayer displacement of 1/300 vibration 4Hz » 1/200,4Hz » 1/120,4Hz » 1/100,2Hz » 1/60,2Hz » 1/40,0.5Hz.
Resistance of plywood and brace gradually declines in a large amplitude while that of Hikarikabe remains high.

Speedy installation

Only impact wrench is required for installation of Hikarikabe. Directly fix dedicated L angled hardware to pillars and beams.

10mm and 17mm impact wrench sockets are also required (for coach screw and M10 bolt respectively).
