Since there’s less I can do at the shop, I can focus on blogging.(*´ω｀*) If you’re considering factory or garage construction in the future, this is a must-see! I haven’t used it yet, so I can’t speak with authority, but…
In my mind, there were very few options for entrance doors. “Shutter” or “door”
If you want to get a vehicle inside the factory, a regular door becomes “bulky and heavy,” while a shutter “makes noise and gets dark when closed.”
When I consulted with Kakuichi Mobara about whether there were any other options, they said, “We have doors like this too!” and showed me a catalog. Apparently, these are also used in dealer repair shops. After seeing the catalog and hearing about it, I approved it right away.
If you want width and height in a door, this is a must-see!
“A wonderful door combining height, width, and design”
Tall vehicles can be brought inside, and natural light enters the interior, creating a bright and open impression. Also, when fully opened, it doesn’t take up space—“space-saving” is another appeal. And since each door panel has a lock, “it also helps with security.” Furthermore, “you can open just one or two panels as needed.”
It’s perfect for times when you want just a little ventilation.
The transparent section can be chosen from “glass, polycarbonate, acrylic resin, or aluminum sheet.” This time, I chose the reliable “polycarbonate.”
Wind resistance performance is 784 kPa for outdoor use, so it’s outstanding! (*´ω｀*)
About the unit
784 kPa is a unit of pressure that indicates the force applied per square meter. In architectural design, wind pressure is calculated based on design wind speed.
Comparison with typical doors
Typical residential shutters and doors: Around 300–500 kPa
784 kPa: Extremely high performance that can withstand even major typhoons
Summary
784 kPa far exceeds typical residential shutters and doors, representing exceptionally superior wind resistance performance.
With wind resistance performance that provides peace of mind even during major typhoons, it’s really excellent.
Here’s my impression of the Lumière
This was shot around 2 p.m. Since it’s brand new and the polycarbonate is crystal clear, it looks beautiful. It’s so transparent that I might need to add some curtains.
The frame is aluminum with proper anodizing, so it has excellent corrosion resistance. The silver and transparent combination looks really beautiful.
It looks like it could even be used in restaurants.

By the way, it can even be used on curved surfaces, so I think it’s an excellent door.
If you’re building a factory or garage, please refer to this!
I didn’t really agonize or search hard for this door—it was actually quite by chance.
Surprisingly, there aren’t many real-world examples out there. I searched online and found it, “What door is this?” Many people don’t write about it. Sharing information about things you’ve actually used—their pros and cons—is really valuable.
Also, basically “factories and garages use shutters” —that’s the general impression. But I don’t really want to push myself hard with work anymore, so “cool in summer, warm in winter,” and “even more pleasant during pleasant seasons” —working in an environment like that would be really beneficial.
I think the world should be more like this, and I hope this becomes a reference for people thinking the same way. Once you start spending money, there’s no end to it, but “you can borrow money while you’re young.” If you’re thinking about something similar! “Time is finite,” so there’s no need to rush.
If you have something you want to do, “set some clear targets like by what age or in how many years” —just thinking about it is fine.
Then you can move forward one or two steps. If you just live vaguely day after day, next year and the year after will be the same. This kind of content apparently resonates with a handful of people, “I’m so glad I read this! It was really helpful!” —I actually get told this sometimes. Ah, so you were actually thinking the same thing… I feel a certain poignancy.
Lately, maybe because of my age, when I talk or write, I go on and on. The longer I think about something or spend time on it, the more this tendency appears —maybe that’s how it is. Anyway, thanks for bearing with me (*´ω｀*)
