Case Studies
Here are some examples of construction using OPT.
Using compressed Japanese cypress as a surface for OPT, the surface retains the feeling of the Japanese cypress and the OPT is bonded to it as a single piece, creating the luxurious feeling of solid Japanese cypress. It is used in the bridge in the inn’s garden and indoor washstand. As an outdoor bridge over water, this location is the worst conditions for wooden products, but already it has seen five years of issue-free use.
Using OPT surfaced with compressed cedar creates the feeling of cedar on the surface. The cores of benches installed outside the university use OPT. This is different from using 100% cedar wood increasing strength and reducing cost by half compared to whole cedar one.
These case studies are not OPT but use the same technology and can be used for OPT as well.
Using compressed cedar as a surface material creates the feeling of cedar on the surface. This is different from using 100% cedar increasing wear durability strength threefold and reducing cost by half compared to whole cedar one.
Using compressed cedar as a surface material creates the feeling of cedar on the surface and triples wear resistance. This is different from using 100% cedar increasing wear strength and reducing cost by half compared to whole cedar one.
Using compressed cedar as a surface material creates the feeling of cedar on the surface. This is different from using 100% cedar increasing wear strength and reducing cost by half compared to whole cedar one. Increasing strength allows even sports that put significant load on the floor such as wheelchair basketball.
