About 63% of Households Without Carports Answer 'Having a Roof Leads to QOL and Time Savings'. What Are the Key Points When Considering Installation?

Over 40% feel stress using a car on rainy days. The true identity of often-overlooked 'nameless chores'

For households with cars, getting in and out or loading and unloading luggage on rainy days are situations that steadily accumulate stress, albeit subtly.

Opening the door while holding an umbrella, carrying luggage, and holding a child's hand.

These 'nameless chores' are repeated in daily life but rarely receive attention.

Furthermore, on winter mornings, the hassle of defrosting the windshield or dealing with snow buildup is added.

This task, which steals precious time before commuting, can also be considered one of these nameless chores.

Therefore, in collaboration with Ex-Shop, we conducted a survey on 'nameless chores' on rainy days and winter mornings, targeting 400 men and women nationwide who answered 'live in their own house and own a car' in a preliminary survey.
