Outline of the product

Magnet Base" is a base for magnets that can be attached to the wall. It has a thin steel plate inside, so magnets can be attached to it. As a part of the "Smart Hook" series for more convenient use of wall surfaces, it is intended for posting, organizing, displaying, and other uses to solve minor inconveniences in daily life.

Example of use: Coupons (white)

In addition to being used to hold paper items such as school or kindergarten letters, community notices, memos, coupons, etc., the combination of magnet hooks can also be used to hang lightweight items.

The feature of this product is that the posting and organizing functions, which have tended to be concentrated on places where magnets can be used, such as refrigerators and steel furniture, can be extended to any place on a gypsum board wall.

Development Background

Refrigerators have become a standard place to temporarily post printouts, memos, coupons, etc. in the home. However, as the number of items to be posted increases, the space becomes insufficient, and there are many occasions when people feel that it would be convenient to post them in places other than the refrigerator, such as the entryway, living room, or children's room.

While gypsum board walls are the mainstream in recent housing, there are only a limited number of wall surfaces where magnets can be used as they are.

Wakai Sangyo has been proposing to improve the convenience of living spaces through its "Smart Hook" series, which makes effective use of wall surfaces.

This time, we developed this product based on the idea that life would be more convenient if magnets could be used anywhere on the wall. Utilizing our knowledge of fixing magnets to walls that we have cultivated as a building material manufacturer, we propose this product as a magnetic pedestal that fits easily into living spaces and can be easily installed.

Features

1.Create a space for magnets on a gypsum board wall

By attaching it to the gypsum wallboard used in many modern houses, a space for magnets can be retrofitted.

The feature of this product is that you can pinpoint the necessary amount of space where you want to "post a little here" or "attach a hook here".

This product is exclusively for Gypsum board (GB-R) of 9.5mm or thicker. It cannot be used on walls other than gypsum board, such as clay walls.

2. Long-selling product "Rakupin" is used to fix firmly.

The "RakuPin", a long-selling product of Wakai Sangyo, is used to fix the product to the wall.

The structure of the pin opens inside the wall, making it easier to fix the board firmly than ordinary pins. Installation is as easy as pushing in with a finger, just like thumbtacks.

3. Circular design for less noticeable tilting

The circular design of the main body makes it less noticeable even if the angle shifts when it is fixed to the wall.

No detailed measurement or angle adjustment is required, making it easy to install.

4. Suitable for various uses in daily life, from posting to organizing

In addition to posting papers, the magnetic hooks can also be used to organize lightweight small items.

Since you can choose where to install it according to your lifestyle and purpose, it can be used in a wide range of places, such as the entrance, living room, and workspace.
