Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify execution by providing a fitting groove in which the upper end of upper furring strips can be fitted, at the lower end of lower furring strips. SOLUTION: Lower furring strips 7 have a fitting groove 23 in which the upper end of upper furring strips 6 can be fitted, at the lower end of the lower furring strips. Hence, when face material units 4a, 4b are vertically superposed and installed, the fitting groove 23 of the lower furring strips 7 of the upper face material unit 4a is fitted to the upper end of the upper furring strips 6 of the lower face material unit 4b, and both are fixedly engaged with each other in the depthwise direction. Hence, the upper furring strips 6 and the lower furring strips 7 are mutually positioned in the depthwise direction at the joint of both face member units 4a, 4b. Only either upper furring strips 6 or lower furring strips 7 may be fixed to a support 3. Since the upper end of the upper furring strips 6 is fitted in the fitting groove 23 of the lower furring strips 7, any clearance leaking light is not generated. The face member is used for not only a blind for panels but also a mere lattice body, and improves workability.
