We highly recommend that customers who have already installed moisture control materials (such as bamboo charcoal) consider adding a subfloor ventilation fan. We will compare and verify the moisture control effects/performance of using only subfloor moisture control agents (bamboo charcoal) versus using both subfloor moisture control agents and mechanical ventilation through moisture absorption and desorption tests. *The operation time of the ventilation fan is under desorption conditions. By adding a ventilation fan to the subfloor where bamboo charcoal mats are installed, we confirmed improvements in ventilation and airflow effects, leading to enhanced moisture absorption and release efficiency of the bamboo charcoal mats and reduced drying time. Additionally, it is expected that the combined use of the ventilation fan will further improve moisture control performance, leading to a decrease in subfloor humidity and enhanced drying effects on wood moisture content.

Regarding the "Automatic Stop Function after 10 Years" Automatic stop has been implemented in products manufactured from 2015 onwards. ■ Overview of Inspection Period Notification Function The dedicated controllers and timers for underfloor and attic ventilation fans sold since 2015 are equipped with the safety function mentioned on the left. Starting from November 2025, the automatic stop function will be activated sequentially for products manufactured in 2015. ■ Response Procedure at the Time of Automatic Stop It is expected that customers will contact the sales and installation stores. We ask that sales and installation stores respond according to the following procedures: 1. Conduct a safety inspection based on the "Underfloor and Attic Ventilation Fan Inspection Checklist." * Please ensure to check for looseness and retighten the connections of the controller and timer. If any liquids such as water, oil, or detergent have come into contact, the internal components may corrode, leading to fire hazards; therefore, replacement of the main unit is necessary. 2. If there are no issues, press and hold the set button to restart the operation. ■ Start of Shipment for Controllers/Timers with Inspection Period Notification Function For details regarding the shipment history of timers, please contact our company’s sales representative or quality control department.

■Live Inspection Start Our company conducts inspections to provide our clients with a deeper understanding of the effectiveness, safety, and installation information of the products they sell. This includes visits to our simulation studio, experimental laboratory, test house, and production line. By observing the visualization of product effects, safety tests, and durability test scenes, we have received feedback such as "I have gained a deeper knowledge of the products" and "I can confidently propose to end users." We are pleased to announce the launch of our 'Remote Live Inspection Service,' focusing on smoke simulation and security systems, which have been the main features of our inspections. Taking into account feedback such as "I am interested, but it's difficult to come to Fukuoka due to the distance" and "It's challenging to coordinate schedules for multiple people," the content will be a condensed version, but we will provide an interactive explanation similar to what you would experience in person. 【Flow of Remote Inspection】 ■ For underfloor ventilation...

In homes where "flooding under the floor" has occurred due to heavy rain, various damages and risks of secondary damage may be lurking in unseen areas. To protect the durability of the house and the health of the family, we have organized the points that should be prioritized for inspection and action. 【Table of Contents】 1. Why is inspecting under the floor essential? 2. 【Emergency Checkpoints】First, check here! A. Presence of flooding or moisture B. Condition of the wood C. Presence of unusual odors D. Signs of termites or pests E. Condition of ventilation openings 3. Immediate response methods when damage is discovered - Mild situations with little standing water or moisture - - Situations with standing water where structural impact is a concern - The damage from flooding under and above the floor due to heavy rain requires significant recovery efforts, including cleanup. We sincerely sympathize with those who have been affected. Please be sure to read the 【related materials】【related links】. ↓ ↓ ↓

Some of you may be hesitant about introducing the effective equipment for pest control under the floor and preventing foundation deterioration (moisture control), known as "underfloor ventilation fans." Why is ventilation under the floor necessary? We have created a page that clearly summarizes the effects of forced ventilation and installation. Under the floor, a certain area of openings is required by the Building Standards Act. In other words, it mandates that there must be a ventilation opening of a certain size for moisture control under the floor. However, when looking at actual single-family homes, there are always ventilation openings, whether they are square grilles or full-perimeter ventilation with foundation packing methods. In recent years, homes using foundation insulation methods (especially in northern regions like Hokkaido) have also been built, but in this method, the underfloor is connected to the interior, and the underfloor is considered part of the interior, so there are no ventilation openings under the floor to prioritize insulation effectiveness. The adoption rate of foundation insulation methods is still low, but moisture issues are not nonexistent. I would like to touch on this topic on another occasion.
