This product is made from carefully selected domestic Hida hardwoods and is compatible with floor heating thanks to a unique "Steam Film Manufacturing Process." The product received the 2021 Good Design Award.

■ Defying the Conventional Wisdom of Solid Wood: "Floor Heating Compatibility" and "Ease of Installation"

Until now, solid wood flooring has been considered difficult to use with floor heating due to its tendency to warp or develop gaps caused by heat and dryness. Through years of expertise in hardwood drying technology and the proprietary "Steam Film Manufacturing Process," Kanemoku has reduced the risk of warping in solid wood to less than half of conventional levels. This superior quality has been verified by the "Hot Water Floor Heating Thermal Durability Test" conducted by the Center for Better Living and durability tests by the Gifu Prefectural Research Institute for Forest and Forest Products. Furthermore, the product's ease of use allows for installation without spacers, significantly reducing the burden on contractors.

Choose from over 40 tree species from Hida.

■ Carefully Selected Timber from Hida, Home to the World-Famous Shirakawa-go

The company handles over 40 tree species from Hida, including Japanese cherry (Yamazakura), chestnut, and oak, and is committed to "coexisting with the forest" by utilizing underused tree species based on the current state of the forest. Shirakawa-go, famous worldwide, maintains its traditions through "Yui," a mutual aid system where villagers help each other re-thatch the massive roofs characteristic of the heavy snowfall region. Hida's timber also represents trees that have stood for hundreds of years, shaping the natural environment. Through these carefully selected Hida woods, we provide a foundation for a rich and long-lasting lifestyle.
