<\/td>\nQuestion<\/strong><\/td>\nAnswer<\/strong><\/td>\nOthers<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/strong><\/td>\nCan it be used as external wall?<\/td>\nNo, it cannot be exposed to the outside (due to the building frame).<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is the price?<\/td>\nPrice calculated by designer is 189,000 yen\/piece excluding tax.
\n(including metal hardware, cutting process and freight fees)<\/td>\n		<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is the color variation?<\/td>\nBasic product is milky clear.<\/td>\nColor coating is available optionally.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is wall ratio?<\/td>\nIt is an index to show strength of bearing wall required for quake resistance to build a house.<\/td>\nWall ratio of brace
\n(cross-section surface 45mm x 90mm)
\nused for normal wooden housing is 2.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is the wall ratio of Hikarikabe?<\/td>\n2.5.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is the size of Hikarikabe?<\/td>\n876 x 2916
\n(external size\/max. size) –
\n726 x 2256
\n(external size\/min. size)<\/td>\n		It is available for 910 module and meter module.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/strong><\/td>\nHow much does it weigh?<\/td>\nAlthough it depends on size, it is about 30-40kg\/piece based on the fact 16-17kg\/m2<\/sup>.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8<\/strong><\/td>\nCan it be used in quasi-fire protection districts?<\/td>\nNo, it cannot be used for fire-retardant or quasi-fire-retardant buildings (e.g. over 3 floors, over 500m2 of floor dimension<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9<\/strong><\/td>\nIs it deteriorated by ultraviolet rays?<\/td>\nThe surface is coated for a measure against ultraviolet deterioration.<\/td>\nIt has been confirmed by tests that strength of Hikarikabe is hardly affected by ultraviolet deterioration.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is brace?<\/td>\nThe material is obliquely set in the square surrounded by vertical materials such as plates of foundation or beam and pillars. It is a reinforcement material to resist horizontal forces such as earthquake and wind.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
11<\/strong><\/td>\nHow can you clean it?<\/td>\nPlease use the optional cleaning equipment dedicated to Hikarikabe.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12<\/strong><\/td>\nCan it be installed around the stove in the kitchen?<\/td>\nIt should not be installed directly to the stove area.<\/td>\nHowever, it may be possible if noncombustible material is also used for hanging partition wall.
\n(it needs to be decided by supervisor.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
13<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat is bearing wall?<\/td>\nThe wall to support horizontal forces such as earthquake and typhoon with braced wall in timber framework method.<\/td>\nConventionally, required numbers of non-aperture wall placed in accordance with Building Standard Law was regarded as bearing wall.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
14<\/strong><\/td>\nCan it be used for 2×4?<\/td>\nNo, it cannot. It is for timber framework method.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
15<\/strong><\/td>\nHow can it be installed to the ceiling?<\/td>\nYou can directly fix to beam and pillar.<\/td>\nIn case of reform, directly fix by removing ceiling plate or making holes on appropriate areas in accordance with current specifications.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
16<\/strong><\/td>\nIs it okay to install it displacing from the core of pillar?<\/td>\nYes, it is. However, check the range of displacement.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
17<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat certification has it received?<\/td>\nIt has been certified by Minister. ‘- Wall ratio: 2.5
\n‘- Technical notes No. 1496 ‘- Certification No. FRM-0138<\/td>\n		Please attach certificate to application for building confirmation and show on the drawing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
18<\/strong><\/td>\nIs Hikarikabe non-combustible?<\/td>\nNo, it is not. However, it does not ignite easily as a plastic material.<\/td>\nIt cannot be used for buildings with interior restrictions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
19<\/strong><\/td>\nDoes it go with fixed glass?<\/td>\nSliding window is preferable.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
20<\/strong><\/td>\nIs it possible to attach plate on the surface?<\/td>\nPolycarbonate (Twin Carbo) was attached in the past.<\/td>\nUse a dedicated adhesion tape.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
21<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat about holddown?<\/td>\nSame position as structural plywood (wall ratio – 2.5), displace mounting surface by 90 degrees, screw type is recommended.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
22<\/strong><\/td>\nIt is okay to fix via board?<\/td>\nNo, it is not as it is not pursuant to certification.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
23<\/strong><\/td>\nCan it be used in fire protection districts?<\/td>\nNo, it cannot.<\/td>\nIt also cannot be used for buildings with interior restrictions even in regular districts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
24<\/strong><\/td>\nIs it okay to adhere polycarbonate?<\/td>\nThere is a specification to adhere Twin Carbo (standard, clear, 6t), but you need to be careful with dew condensation.<\/td>\nUse a dedicated adhesion tape.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
25<\/strong><\/td>\nIs it only for wooden housing?<\/td>\nYes, it is.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
26<\/strong><\/td>\nHow can it be attached to the floor?<\/td>\nIt can be directly fixed to beam by removing the floor or making holes on appropriate areas.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
27<\/strong><\/td>\nIs it also suitable for reform?<\/td>\nBuildings should been evaluated on quake resistance and reinforced design should be applied to it to meet delivery conditions.<\/td>\nWe have another product “Hikarikabe Tsuyoshi” specially for reform.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
