Wood as an Option Even Under Interior Restrictions: Launch of "Non-Combustible Wood Cross-Service"

Mori Mirai Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jumpei Asano), whose mission is "Sustainable Forest," has launched the "Non-Combustible Wood Cross-Service" specializing in the use of wood in interiors to resolve the hurdles of using wood under interior restrictions.

Background

In recent years, interest in using wood has been growing in commercial facilities, offices, and lodging facilities from the perspective of improving spatial value and environmental consideration. On the other hand, in spaces subject to interior restrictions, wood must be "non-combustible compliant," which poses a major obstacle to considering its use.

Specifically, the following issues exist:

- The possibility of non-combustible certification varies by wood species, making judgment difficult. - Selection of non-combustible standards (non-combustible, quasi-non-combustible, flame-retardant) is complex. - Concerns about quality risks such as efflorescence in non-combustible treatment. - It takes time to consider the feasibility with solid wood and alternative methods. - The points of contact for procurement, processing, and construction are separate, making handling cumbersome.

Due to these factors, cases where the use of wood is abandoned are not uncommon.

Service Overview

This service is a cross-cutting service that specializes in requests such as "wanting to use wood even under interior restrictions" and "looking for non-combustible wood," and provides integrated support from consideration and selection of non-combustible wood to estimation, procurement, processing/manufacturing, delivery, and construction.

Mori Mirai has so far responded to the requests of designers and architects through its wood distribution business, proposing, procuring, processing, and constructing wood according to their needs.

In addition to this expertise, this service systematizes the product information and processing experience related to non-combustible wood that our company possesses, realizing non-combustible compliance under interior restrictions.

Service Features

1. Integrated support from non-combustion of solid wood, specified species, and local wood to procurement and construction

We provide total support from determining the feasibility of non-combustion for solid wood, obtaining estimates, proposing optimal specifications and products, to building the supply chain. We also consider implementation methods for requests such as "wanting to use a specific wood species as non-combustible" or "wanting to utilize local wood by making it non-combustible." We offer one-stop procurement, processing, delivery, and construction of wood, providing integrated support for the entire project.

2. Proposal of finishes

We propose coatings and surface finishes tailored to the spatial design while ensuring non-combustible performance.

3. Presentation of alternative proposals

In addition to non-combustible wood, alternative proposals such as veneers and non-combustible decorative panels, considering appearance, cost, and workability, can be compared and considered.

Examples of consultations for non-combustible wood services

For example, we often receive the following types of consultations and can respond to them:

"I want to propose interiors using local wood, but I don't know if it can clear interior restrictions."

"I want to match the color tone with other materials, but I want to know what kind of coloring can be done for non-combustible wood."

"I want to minimize efflorescence as much as possible, so I want to consider which processing method is best."

"I want to compare and consider non-combustible wood from multiple manufacturers and species all at once."
