5. Gaina Effect (inside & outside coating)

1. Against Cold
In winter, heat escapes from walls & ceilings. Even when the room temperature is high, the heater is working hard to keep the inside warm. Gaina coating adapts to the surrounding temperature, minimizing heat transfer outside,
lowering energy usage.



2. Against Heat
Special ceramic beads in Gaina reflect radiation, and release heat as infrared rays. Also, Gaina surfaces adapt to the surrounding temperature to minimize heat transfer inside.




3. Soundproof
Surfaces coated with Gaina reflect sound and control vibration within the layered ceramic beads. This reduces sound making the space quieter.




4. Air Purifier
Because Gaina has no traceable electrification characteristics, dust, dirt and pollen won't stick and ionized moisture prevents particulates from floating around. Gaina surfaces also bring the positive and negative ions into balance.




5. Moisture Control
Condensation  happens when heat moves to lower temperatures, whether through walls, ceilings, windows or in closets.
Gaina surfaces adjust to the surrounding temperature. Since there is no difference in temperature, condensation doesn't occur.





6. Endurance
Gaina has multiple layers of ceramic that reflect the strongest ultraviolet rays. It has the durability of 2-3 times that of normal paint. In addition, as an insulation and as a thermal barrier, Gaina's performance minimizes the expansion and contraction of the building.



7. Safety
Gaina is water based, and does not use hazardous materials.
Interior Gaina has an F☆☆☆☆ rating. This is the highest rating for indoor air safety in Japan. Forster is the safety agency that rates air quality for the environment.
Outside coating of Gaina also have a four star level of performance from Forster.


8. Combustibility
Gaina is accredited as a top level noncombustible material from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.




As testing continues, more benefits of Gaina are coming to our attention.
