Geo-Wood

Waita, Oguni known as a mountainous cold zone is cool in summer and very cold in minus 10 ℃ in winter. This difference of cold and warmth carefully raises durable small cedar tree. Oguni cedar has been confirmed to be excellent in tensile strength at the National Forestry Laboratory, with a numerical value of 70, which greatly exceeds the national wooden design standard value of 45.

 

The flooring materials and furniture materials are dried in the drying chamber heated by the steam available in the district.

 

The geothermal steam is introduced into the coil. This geothermal drying method utilize clean energy. The temperature inside the drying chamber is as low as 50 ° C, then drying is carried out thoroughly with natural convection without stress imposed on the material. Therefore, it dries over a longer period than the drying facility using ordinary fossil fuel. This drying method can dramatically reduce fossil fuels necessary for conventional drying facilities.

 

Flooring material in Oguni is made by solid cedar with the following features.

 

① The wonderful original property of solid wood can only be exhibited by unpainted or natural paint. Phytoncide, a volatile component known as forest fragrance, can only be effective in wood breathable state.

 

② Because wood is a solid material, it absorbs and releases moisture in the air. If it is in a dry room, it releases moisture and absorbs if it is in a high humidity state, thus, it enable to adjust the humidity of the room moderately. If coating is applied, scratches, dirt, and movement of the wood can be minimized, but wonderful properties of the wood itself are lost.

 

③ Since the surface of solid wood is processed by our unique polishing method so as called 'floating method' , it stimulates the soles of the foot with moderate roughness. Its touch is a smooth finish due to the large amount of cedar aroma has a gloss that is unparalleled. The Natural wood will get scratched. However, its scratches turn out natural taste over time.
