Joint research and development of "shading panel (louver)"

We have jointly developed a film- and glass-made light-shielding panel (louver), which has excellent light-shielding properties, durability, and cost, with Taiyo Kogyo Co., Ltd. and Nippon Sheet Glass Environmental Amenity Co., Ltd., respectively.

Structural features

[Taiyo Kogyo Co., Ltd .: Cloth shading panel]
Semi-underground structure A stretched daylighting panel is installed on a frame that holds a curved surface to ensure a certain ventilation space at the upper opening of the road. This allows external light to be evenly incident through the upper opening, preventing flicker in semi-underground roads and ensuring ventilation efficiency.

[Nippon Sheet Glass Environmental Amenity Co., Ltd .: Glass shading panel]
The upper opening of the semi-underground structure road secures safety against falling objects and strength against snowfall, etc. Dividing the laminated glass with integrated ceramic layers into multiple pieces to form a divided scattering plate, and a support frame to insolate the sun By installing it at a certain angle, it is possible to prevent flicker in the semi-underground structure road and improve the driving environment.

Local adoption status

It was installed on the Sotokan Expressway (between Matsudo IC and Takaya JCT).
Fabric shading panel Installation extension: Approx.3,900m
Glass light-shielding panel installation extension approximately 2,400 m
