Coating business (coating for sports facilities)
The value of a sports facility is determined by the "quality of the space experience" as well as the facilities.
AKIKA improves the environment of sports facilities (heat, condensation, mold, odor, sound, etc.) by utilizing special paints (coatings) from i-Ceramic Technology (ICT) to improve both user satisfaction and operational burden.
*AKIKA is proposing the introduction of coatings for sports facilities in general first, as we continue to develop our sports business (including the racquet sports domain). We do not limit ourselves to specific sports, but optimize our products according to facility use, scale, and environmental conditions.
Common Issues" at Sports Facilities
- Summer heat/winter cold reduces playing quality and stay satisfaction.
- Condensation, mold, and odor around locker rooms, lockers, and bathrooms
- Loud echoes/rain noise and sound leakage
- Interior easily deteriorates due to perspiration and moisture, increasing cleaning and repair work
- Heavy HVAC costs and lack of fundamental remedies
What AKIKA offers
AKIKA designs and proposes special paints (coatings) for ICT to meet "on-site conditions of sports facilities".
Based on our experience in installing our products in sports facilities, we will create a reasonable installation plan by organizing priorities and the scope of installation based on the following perspectives.
- Facilities: Court, Gym, Studio, Swimming pool, Changing rooms, Bathrooms, Backyard, etc.
- Environmental conditions: humidity concentration points, ventilation intensity, condensation-prone surfaces, roof shape, sound reflection conditions, etc.
- Operational aspects: cleaning flow line, business hours, congestion time zone, understanding of areas prone to deterioration, etc.
We can also start small, such as "just the changing rooms" or "just the ceilings," to get the desired effect.
Key Solutions (Aimed at sports facilities)
(1) Measures against heat and cold (improvement of the physical sensation/air conditioning efficiency)
The concept of heat shielding and insulation is organized according to target areas such as roofs, exterior walls, and interiors to reduce unevenness in the experience.
The goal is to provide ease of play, comfort of stay, and reduced air conditioning burden.
(2) Condensation, mold, and sanitation measures (in locker rooms/lockers/bathrooms)
This reduces the "condensation → mold" chain of events in areas prone to moisture accumulation and reduces the burden of cleaning and repair.
This is an effective measure to protect the first impression (cleanliness) of the facility.
(3) Sound issues (echoes/rain noise/sound leakage)
We address problems such as "too much echo" and "leakage to the outside" according to the space conditions.
Please consult us for competition spaces, studios, roofs (if rain noise is a concern), etc.
Product Lineup (Utilizing ICT's Specialty Coatings)
PENTAGUARD
Multifunctional water-based heat insulating paint for thermal insulation, heat shielding, and soundproofing.
Used to improve the environment outside of buildings, including roofs and exteriors.
［Recommended locations] Roofs, exterior walls, large spaces (gymnasiums, warehouses), roofs where rain noise is a concern, etc.
AXION25 (AXION25)
Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal + heat-insulating paint for interior applications.
Aiming at both hygiene and comfort, it is applied to areas susceptible to moisture.
［Recommended locations] Changing rooms/lockers/toilets/showers/bathrooms/backyards, etc.
Recommended construction points for sports facilities (example)
- Coat space: Heat control/reduction of reverberation noise
- Locker rooms and lockers: countermeasures against condensation, mold, and odors (maintaining cleanliness)
- Showers and bathrooms: Improvement of moisture concentration points
- Reception/waiting area: Reduces unevenness in temperature and improves the stay.
- Warehouses and backyards: countermeasures against condensation, odor, and deterioration

よくある質問
Q. 小さい範囲から試せますか？
A. 可能です。更衣室のみ、天井のみなど、効果が出やすい箇所から段階導入をご提案します。
Q. 施設を営業しながら施工できますか？
A. 施工箇所・工程によります。営業時間外や休館日を活用するなど、運営に支障が出にくい計画を調整します。
Q. 効果は保証されますか？
A. 建物構造・換気・湿度環境・下地状態などにより結果は異なります。現場条件を踏まえた最適化提案を行います。
まずはご相談ください
「暑さだけ」「更衣室だけ」「雨音が気になる」など、1テーマからでもOKです。
