Why Kimono Fabrics for Laminated Glass?
Kimono fabrics cannot usually be washed in a washing machine or with water. Because kimono fabrics are made of 100% silk, they must be washed by a professional kimono wash company if they become soiled.
Also, ultraviolet rays can burn the fabric, causing the color to fade.
Furthermore, exposure to air causes oxidation, which leads to discoloration and fading.
However, by encapsulating the glass in laminated glass by heating and crimping in a vacuum, the glass can be wiped clean even if it gets dirty, the resin for laminated glass is resistant to ultraviolet rays, making it very resistant to fading, and it is also resistant to oxidation because it is contained in the glass in a vacuum.
Restricted Use Location
Some places are not allowed to use it due to the kimono fabric inside.
The fabric is not usable outdoors.
The fabric is visible at the small opening of the laminated glass because it rains outdoors, and if water gets on it, the fabric will absorb water due to capillary action, which may cause discoloration or peeling.
For the same reason, we also do not allow the use of the product in humid places.
This is especially true in bathrooms, where moisture tends to accumulate.
Places where temperatures are continuously high above 60 degrees Celsius are also not acceptable.
The resin used for laminated glass has a property of melting at temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius, so places where the heat continues above 60 degrees Celsius are not acceptable.
In particular, it is best to avoid places near the stove in the kitchen, as it gets very hot.
