Sanwa Shutter Industry Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Itabashi-ku, Tokyo; President: Meiji Takayama) announced that its high wind resistant window shutter, 'Madomore Taifu Guard,' won the Excellence Award at the 'Japan Resilience Award 2026,' organized by the Association for Resilience Japan.
'Madomore Taifu Guard' is a high-performance window shutter that was the first in the industry (at its July 2020 launch) to secure a maximum wind resistance (negative pressure) of 2400Pa—equivalent to a wind speed of 88m/s and approximately three times the strength of conventional products. This performance protects lives and homes from flying debris during powerful typhoons. In addition to its high wind resistance, it also provides fire protection, allowing it to be installed in openings prone to the spread of fire where fire preventive equipment is required. The product line also includes types suitable for installation on earthen floors and balconies.
Sanwa Shutter Industry provides various products and services related to disaster prevention, including fire, water, wind, and earthquake protection. The company remains committed to contributing to society by providing safety, security, and comfort through these initiatives.
*1: For Screen GII type with TW ≤ 2300mm.
*2: Wind speed is a reference value calculated using Bernoulli's theorem, converting 2400Pa negative pressure to 4800Pa positive pressure. Actual values vary based on building height, shape, and region.
*3: Based on company research at the time of the July 2020 launch.
Key Features of 'Madomore Taifu Guard':
1. High wind resistance up to 2400Pa (negative pressure).
2. Multi-hazard capability combining wind resistance with fire protection.
3. Two types available: Screen GII for apartments/houses and Screen S for houses.
4. Industry-first fire certification for balcony and earthen floor installations for window shutters (Screen GII type, as of May 2022).
