This plastic inner window is ideal for home renovation. It  is drawing attention as a product that is eligible for the  Japanese government’s eco-point system for housing.  Homeowners can select from a variety of colors to  match the interior of their homes. Besides insulating the  home and shutting out noise, the system can also be  installed quickly. For all products in the Metal Building Material Business, we will work with Shin Nikkei  to integrate product lines and production and share business resources in sales,  distribution, and back-office areas. Developing overseas markets is also an important  theme for this business segment. Sales of  Inplus  inner windows are  increasing on the back of the introduc- tion in Japan of an eco-point system for  housing. The Group will further increase  sales and nurture operations in the reno- vation market in the year ending March  31, 2011. Furthermore, ahead of moves  by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and  Industry (METI) to introduce standards  for window performance evaluations in  the year ending March 31, 2012, the  Group will develop and market next- generation windows with better features  through its alliance with Asahi Glass  Co., Ltd. We will continue strengthening our line  of products for home renovation and  further bolster our “Shizenyoku de  Kurasu” network of specialty stores for  design and product installation. In building sashes, the Group will  increase sales in the renovation market  for multiple dwellings to capitalize on the  eco-point system for housing and work  together with Shin Nikkei to promote  sales for low- and medium-rise proper- ties. In shutters, we will launch new  products and further strengthen mainte- nance services. This skylight window is an example of  an eco product that lets in light and  air.  Sky Theater  is self-cleaning,  reducing the maintenance burden on  homeowners. What is more, it blocks  harmful ultraviolet light thanks to  double-glazed glass that both shields  heat and insulates. A new product launched in 2010,  Plus G  is designed both as a gateway  to the entrance to the home and a  car parking space. It is the perfect  solution for the narrow and cramped  confines of typical Japanese residen- tial neighborhoods as it does not take  up space when opening and closing.
