Notice of the Otores 125 Free Provision Campaign
"Ventilation" has a significant impact on the indoor air environment and is an important factor for the discharge of "odors," "moisture," and "pollutants" such as chemicals. In recent years, the increasing insulation and airtightness of homes have heightened the importance of planned ventilation. However, the current situation is that ventilation pathways are only minimally addressed, such as through undercuts on doors, allowing "sound" and "light" to leak along with the airflow. In response to the demand for materials that can secure ventilation pathways while preventing "sound leakage" and "light leakage," we are pleased to announce that "Otores 125" has reached its 30th anniversary of sales. To allow more people to experience its performance and benefits, we are launching a campaign. It can be installed in both existing buildings and new properties, so we hope you take this opportunity to experience it. For more details, please refer to the attached campaign flyer. Campaign Overview: Period: October 1, 2018 – January 31, 2019 Target Audience: Building owners, construction companies (builders) Conditions: Individuals who can respond to a survey as free monitor participants (Response deadline: March 31, 2019) Number of units: Up to 4 units per request, first 600 requests only.
