Base isolated structure fends off violent shakings of quakes while‘ earthquake-resistant housing uses the building itself to resist such tremors. Its isolation mechanism absorbs the earthquake force to convert severe vibrations into much smaller and slower ones. Thus it can protect your loved ones and property by preventing secondary damage caused by falling or dropping of the furniture or breakage of window glasses.

'Base isolated house' absorbs the earthquake energy and changes it to slower swaying.

'Earthquake-resistant house' secures your safety by holding out the tremors leveraging its own strength and resilience.

The technology called 'seismic isolation structure' which turns destructive seismic shakings into slower and softer ones prevents possible damage. This structure can evade the tremors, taking them in stride and safeguarding the building, not mention the human lives and property inside.

'Earthquake-resistant' technology enables the building to counter quakes by making its strength and resilience great enough to resist shakings. Although it can protect the building safely, it is ac-companied by a risk that the fur-niture inside could fall or drop.

The hybrid seismic isolation system that incorporates ultra-low elastic multi-rubber with a specially-coated slider is the first of its kind for houses in Japan.. Our efforts to untiringly and repeatedly conduct experiments have come to fruition at last, allowing us to provide quake-proof houses of outstanding performance at low cost

The laminated rubber plays a role in oscillating the building at a low frequency in the event of an earthquake and will bring it back to its original position after the quake.

This absorbs the energy of an earthquake by sliding the building freely 360 degrees.

In our development of seismic isolation systems, we carried out tests that actually shook a wooden 2-story house built on the device about 300 times. As a result, we confirmed that our system is capable of easing quake’s acceleration (intensity of vibrations) by 1/4 or 1/3 as well as securing safety to the point that even glasses on tables are prevented from trembling.

We conducted public experiments applying actual oscillations at Hazama Technology Institute, which has large testing equipment of the highest standard in Japan. This has proven our credible quake isolation performance and high security.

We have developed our base isolated houses, making their popularity our prime goal, and we have succeeded in cutting the cost substantially to one-half or to 1/3 of that of traditional isolation structures. Realizing this cost-reduction, we have already built 1,900 houses in Japan (as of April 2006). We are very proud that this accounts for more than 70% of Japan’s seismic isolation house market. "We want all the houses to be seismically isolated" We have a passion for creating safe houses every day.
