Hello, this is Kikuchi Soken Co., Ltd.

We are based in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and provide interior construction and restoration services across the Kanto region and throughout Japan.

Today, we would like to introduce a new restaurant interior construction project carried out in Koishikawa, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.


In particular, this article will focus on the ceiling LGS (light gauge steel) framework and PB (plasterboard) installation, along with photos from the job site.


LGS Ceiling Framework Installation

The work began from a bare skeleton state, starting with the installation of LGS.
With numerous HVAC ducts and facility piping in the ceiling area, precision in layout and non-interference with existing systems were key to success.

Both pre-construction planning and on-site adjustments were crucial.

The framing extended to the ceiling, walls, and counter areas, all constructed with precise measurements.
Due to the high density of piping and ducts, such restaurant interiors often present complex challenges.


 

Plasterboard Installation (PB Work)

Next, after completing the LGS framework, PB was installed one panel at a time with care.
Special attention was required around electrical equipment and openings, making this a highly skilled process.

For example, solid, strong and little distorting materials are required for making fixture.

While, for storage furniture, the materials putting importance on durability and beauty are suitable.

 

It is important for an interior decorative contractor to select materials to meet the customer’s request and purpose.

In addition, when selecting materials, it is also necessary to consider the price, supply volume and environment.

We are introducing the important points particularly as follows:

・When using tools such as saw, hammer, drill and so on, it is necessary to definitely mount safety equipment, and do work operation safely.

・It is important to select the suitable processing method and do the work operation, according to the wood kind and use.

・It is necessary to be careful of the wooden materials after processing, as they are easily hurt or lack the corner or edge.

Besides, when painting or doing finishing treating too, it is necessary to be careful to paint evenly.

Ikebukuro as midpoint, and in all over Kanto district, our company is taking charge of「Interior decorative construction work・recovery and restoration work」for you.

 

Today, we are explaining hat joint construction work.

Gap between boards is called joint.

 

 

The material to insert in the gap is hat joiner.

As the cross section is like silk hat, it is called hat joiner.

 

 

 

 

 

When executing the construction work, we go on embedding hat joiner by gluing the back side.

In order not to leave too much glue, we carefully go on doing the work operation.

If leaving too much glue, it will make level difference against other joint, which is not good.

 

 

 

 

 

We neatly glued, and embedded in it.

As the construction work this time is painting at the upper part, and sticking so-called decorative cloth at the lower part, we duly used a different material.
